Fuzzies on Teak Vcarve

Are these edge fuzzies just a characteristic of the teak? I guess I should have run some test cuts, but too late now. This is on the end of a combined 12.5 hour roughing/finish carve.

I’m at about 21,000 on the Carbide Create router, 90ipm with a 0.063 DOC. That dials me in to 0.0021 chipload and Amana recommends 0.0022 for this bit #45705.

Would you recommend faster, slower or it’s the Goldilock’s settings now?

Here’s a short video

Yes, teak is just like that - it’s kind of splintery, fairly hard. You might try slowing down feed to see if it makes a difference?

If the piece is still on the machine, you could try running a second pass of that finish v-carve, it may remove some of those fuzzies. And then careful manual sanding? Those fuzzies do not look too bad.
