grinding down metal inlaid into wood

HI I'm putting some brass pins into wooden knife scales/handles for
the first time, but I'm not sure how I can grind down the brass
without damaging the wood. Any suggestions welcome!
cheers

I always just use a belt sander... I do this before final sanding on
the wood. So when sanding down the brass, I do the first pass on may
wood sanding at the same time.
I have some knife making pictures on my website under carving..
