Quick zebrawood query

[abarson]

I'm doing my final sanding of my bass in zebrawood. What's strange is that when I wipe off the dust with a rag, tiny burrs will catch the cloth, kind of like when you stroke a cat's furr in the wrong direction.
Do I keep sanding until this stops happening, or is this somthing that sorts itself out with pore filling and sealing?

[ewimsatt]

I just fought the same thing. Mist the board with water to raise the grains, let it dry for a minutes, sand off the raised burrs. Repeat that until it stops catching.

You could use naphta instead of water too.

[ewimsatt]

To raise grain? Water is the king of that.

[abarson]

Got it about raising the grain, but doesn't this also conversely increase pore size?
Also, should I do this early on, or wait until I wet sand with very fine grit?

[ewimsatt]

I do it after 220 grit.
