I am a new carver and have carved a (for me) complicated woven cross out of bass wood. Now I have lots and lots of fuzzy's deep inside the carving and don't know how to sand it way down there...it pretty tiny in the crevices.

I cut emery boards that I "borrowed" from my wife to small points; other people I know have cut thin strips of wood down and glued sandpaper on to them...

You might also try a tiny triangular file, you may need to bend the tip a bit...

You can use waded up brown paper sack. I like the smaller thinner brown paper sacks.
I really haven't tried any other sacks but the brown ones as they are a little more abrasive. Aslo use it after a coat of Deft satin or semi gloss coating. Well, you can use it after each coat you put on.

You could also use a Dremel to help with those tiny spots. I try to do as much as possible without having to rely on power tools (besides the initial pattern), but there are times when the Dremel is the only thing that can reach those tight spots.

I have carved several Celtic ribbon designs and a number of them on Crosses so I think I understand what you are talking about when you say way down there.
Several things I have found work somewhat.
thin down an orange stick (from your manicure set) so it will fit with a little wiggle room. insert and wiggle until the fuzzies are removed.
Take a small bit of brown bag and wrap it around a nail that will fit into your Dremmel tool use low speed. I overlap the end of the nail with the paper and bend it over so it twirls inside the crevace.
I have also have a 1mm spoon chisel. Not sure of the termonoligy. has a half round curve with a 1mm flat blade. If you can get that guy rasor sharp, you can decapatate those fuzzies down in the holes. Have a bright light, magnifying lens and a lot of paitentience. You can get frustrated and do more harm than good. Been there done that.
Lastly, when I give up on everything else.... When you put on a finish coat, polyurathane ? take a tooth pick and smooth the fibers in the direction that they were originally laying. Like stroking a cats fur. Generaly you can get most of the errant fibers to lay down and go back to sleep under that thin coat of poly.
Hope this helps!

A brown de-fuzzer pad should do the trick.You can use them in a little mandrel with a Dremel tool. Cut them into 1 & 1/2 inch squares. They are available along with mandrels at The Woodcraft Shop, Bettendorf,Iowa 1-800-397-2278 and other suppliers.

If the carving is pierced or carved all the way through, you can tear small strips of cloth-backed sandpaper and use them similar to a shoeshine boy buffing a freshly waxed shoe.

I've often used a stiff bristled tooth brush. Wal-marts have them for under $2.00. I f that doesn't work, go brush your teeth and think a bit.

I have a set of nifty tools I made out of kitchen knife stock. They are squared with a lightly tapered point. It acts as a small scraper and is sharpened the same way, rolling the edges back. If you scrape with firm pressure it will leave a smooth finished surface. The plus side to this is that it doesn't blur detail. The big downside is how slow it is for large amounts of detail.

How about riffler files. All differant shapes, and some are very narrow and to a point.
