As much as everyone seems to dislike the sanding phase of a woodworking project, all sanding is not created equal. When we are sanding on flat surfaces such as a table top, at least we can use a belt sander, sheet sander or random orbital sander to power though the process. Sanding irregular surfaces such as an intricate curvy cut or a turned spindle, however, can give us a far greater level of frustration because most of our power sanding tools will not serve us well in this situation.
