Should I be taking extra precautions when sanding an area inlaid with European Walnut in a Euro spruce soundboard? I have got some French Polish solution I could apply to the spruce first-however when I am sanding flush surely the walnut and spruce will be sanded together? Thanks for reading this. ![]() |

Sam, You probably need a hard sanding block in case they sand at different rates, and some of the walnut dust may dirty the spruce a little - but Engish walnut is not too bad (unlike ebony - damhikt ![]() What's the inlay? |

Sam just did the same thing a little while ago English Walnut rosette in Euro top. Scraped it back first then hit it with the sandpaper. Had no problem at all with the walnut dust. Colin |

I do the last bit of sanding with a 220 PC 5 inch random orbit sander with dust collection - the tops come out very clean ... level it all first by hand or whatever ... |

my walnut rosettes on the spruce topped mandonaughts were no problem. I planed them flat then tidied with sandpaper on a block. No dust staining at all |
