Ran into some problems! When routing up-grain (if there is such a word ), the routing bit was lifting up too much "splinters".
Sounds to me like you may be going in the wrong direction. In this picture, in the area of the arrow, the router should start where the clamp is and move "downhill" toward the narrow part.

......

This picture that I posted in an earlier thread applies to both table routing and hand held routing. For each section, you start at the green dot and stop at the red dot. After going completely around the body you can go around it again in one direction to clean up any small areas you might have missed.
