What tools for sanding limbs and riser?

[J. Cook]

What tools do you use to sand the old finish off a bow?  Are most of you simply using elbow grease and sandpaper, or are you using some type of sander?  Also - how do I know when all the finish is actually off?  I want to be sure I get it sanded off, but obviously don't want to get into the glass on the limbs.  

Thanks for any help!

I do it all by hand. I usually start with judicial scraper use, then switch to paper. You will clearly see a change when bare wood is present and all the sealer is gone. When you think your done and before a final sanding, wipe it down LIGHTLY with a damp cloth. Any areas that still have finish will be much lighter in color.
