What sanding grits are ideal for achieving smooth surfaces on teak animal sculptures?

Achieving a smooth surface on teak animal sculptures requires careful sanding with the right grit progression. Start with a coarse grit (80-120) to remove tool marks and shape the wood. Move to medium grit (150-220) to refine the surface, then finish with fine grit (240-320) for a polished look. Teak’s dense grain benefits from gradual smoothing to avoid scratches. Always sand along the grain and use a tack cloth between grits for best results. Proper sanding ensures a flawless finish for your teak sculptures.
