For the future, I would also try to keep the belly and sides a bit smoother, even early on - tool marks, gouges, small tearouts etc. can pop splinters easily once things are bending.  Use a scraper or fine rasp (no sandpaper yet until you are done using tools).  It's also less work later.  Good luck - looking forward to seeing the finished bow!
