Question on snake skins

[Prairie Drifter]

What is best for sanding the edges,sandpaper on a sanding block or a fine tooth file? Just glued on a bullsnake skin to my daughter's bow and wanted to see which most preferred.

i use my nicholson 4 way fine side then after i seal the edges with superglue i switch to sandpaper to get a more smooth edge.

I like to glue 180 or 220 sandpaper to a block and with down strokes only just lightly hit the edges,it will come out smooth,crisp and ready for finish.

I'm no expert.  I have only put on one set.  But I used a file and it worked just fine.
