I'm currently working on a dread, east indian rosewood with flamed maple bindings. How do I keep the sanding dust from the EIR from getting into the exposed endgrain of the maple?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Hi Steve, I am having the same problem right now. But it is on an ebony F/B with flamed maple binding.
Using a scraper or razor blade as a scraper when the sanding is complete seemed to work the best.

I usually put a coat or two of shellac on the bindings with an artist brush.
You still have to sand and scrape, but I think it helps.

Ditto on the shellac

seal the maple with shellac.
Then sand the rosewood so it's ready for finish.
seal the rosewood.(Shellac)

Then sand your bindings.
Scraping can create high & low spots(on curly woods) -plus tear out.

Works for me.
good luck
Mike
