I've got her sanded through 220 grit now.  Here she is after the first coat of CA (super glue).  This will fill the wood pores to give the riser a nice level look after spraying.  I will sand this down with 220 grit.  Ebony and osage aren't particularily porous, so this one coat may be enough.  Some woods like wenge or walnut need quite a few leveling coats.  This photo shows how dark the ebony will be under finish.

When sanding down the super glue, you can easily see the low spots that need more sanding, or another application.
