Anyone having experience with Leopard wood sanding ? I am doing a small bowl and the outside after sanding to 600 grt , the rays are showing small checks parallel with the rays, I ran outside air over the lathe with my dust collector to keep the heat down ( using infrared temp gauge) and it did not heat up significantly. Is the check like surface normal? This bowl is for a private collection but do not want to buy half the Aussie forest to get one bowl and do not want to spend a lot of time on this if I cannot resolve the check issue. Thanks for any helpful insight!
