Very nice. I agree about the inside sanding. There seems to be no easy
way to do it.

Yep.. started out with a 2" disc on an extension, then had to go back to the old
fashioned "hold paper in hand and run lathe" way through grits 80 to 220..
Working now at 320 with 3" Wave paper on a 2" pad and it seems to work ok..

I think instead of buffing the inside, I'll get lazy and use Ultra Shine instead
of bowl buffs..

Take some paste wax and smear it on the inside of the critter. Then do
your sanding. I'll soften the wood fibers and make it a *lot* easier.
The wax will be gone by the time you finish with the 80 grit but you'll
have a surface that is ready for the succession of finer grits...
