It shows?
Thanks for the encouragement! I'll do what I can with scrapers first, and then start sanding when I absolutely have to...The plan is to apply oil ASAP , probably during weekend, so it dries while I do all the detail work on frets, saddles, bridge etc...It doesn't look like much work, but I'll probably spend more time doing it than I can afford. Also, I'll have another one to finish just after this one, same materials mostly, just different shape, so more sanding ahead
I made one ferrule today, took me about 20mins total, drilling, turning, polishing. Since I made a jig for it now, others should take less time.
