How do you folks sand your scroll saw pieces - from portrait style to baskets, intarsia..... What type of sanding products/tools/paper.... do you use? I linked to the thread about the abranet products and discovered that they make the sanding sticks in 6, 8 and 10" in addition to the 12 3/4" and 16 1/2" kind I have. Do you use the scroll sanders (fit kind of like a blade in your saw?) Flapwheels (or is that flywheels?) or sanding mops (never tried those)? Belt sanders (wide or not), ROS?
I guess I am mostly intersted in sanding detailed fretwork.

I'm in the same camp as others in the pre-sanding, reverse-tooth blade and burning-spiral-fuzzies-off
Another thought though, Dremel makes a small router table to fit their rotary tool and offer small roundover bits as well. I have bought the bits and hope one day to make my own table to give it a try. Several folks in the magazine articles use them
Maybe a solution for you ? For the fretwork anyway

Nothing wrong with sanding to the enth degree and you said it best yourself. I have sanded wood so much it shines on it's own, no finish. I looks great that way.

Andy, that drum sander makes sense to me. The only intarsia class I took used an 8" wide belt sander that was moving at what seemed to me to be warp speed. And then they wanted us to sand and shape a bear's nose????? I'll try the different methods.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
