If you look very closely at the wood, do you see any ridges where the

Yes

I would start with 120 then and make sure you cannot see those scallops
before going to 150. It should not take too long to get there. And
again 180 is as far as you need to go unless you are going to do some
grain filling and looking for a glass like surface as a result of the
finish you apply.
