I need more sandpaper and the right grit.
got a palm sander already. Time to learn about grit variation and get a rasp and file anyway..
Never thought that over cut lines would be so much sanding...
Thanks for all the replies! Funny..
i cut my necks the exact same way , one thing that will save your arm is wrap a brick with sandpaper . dont press down just let it work . start with 40grit and work your way up . when the sandpaper moves smoothly its done its job and move to the next one .
It's moments like the one you're having that remind me of the bumblebee. The laws of physics may argue that the wings of the bumblebee are too small, and therefore, not able to carry the weight of the bee. But the bumblebee doesn't know that, and flies anyway.
Like the bee, those cut marks just don't realize they are in the way of your progress, and so they remain still, and unwavering in their resolve to frustrate you...patience grasshopper.
Ok, enough philosophy...palm sander $30, 60 grit sand paper, 65 cents per sheet...just like Richey said.
Just keep at it man, you'll get rid of them eventually! I use progressively less abrasive tools to shape my necks: Spokeshave, then rasps, then cross cut file, then flat file, then 40 grit paper, then 80 grit... once you have a smooth scratch free surface you can hit it with the higher grits!

With enough patience you'll get to the bottom of it....

Or buy a palm sander.
I use a wood file, it's not as aggressive as a rasp and sands out pretty easy.
