Just before sanding

It's always an interesting moment when you realize that an activity has reached its logical end.
The end of a phase, the end of a step among many.  It reminds me of canning fish in a pressure cooker - you pack the jars, you set them in the pressure cooker, you seal them in, you build it up to the proper pressure, you wait the 90 minutes or so, and then there is that moment when it's done, and you shut off the heat and call it good.  From that point on, there is nothing more you can do except to sit back and wait for the pressure cooker to cool and the temperature to drop to the point where the lids seal with a snap...
So, in a similar sense, the point is reached when a spoon is ready to be sanded.  All that's left is to sand it...
