Well they're as smooth as I could get them anyway.
But I know what you mean - seems like they can get pretty slick!

Haha yeah I know. All I was doing yesterday was walking around with them up to the sun as I was sanding.
I probably caused (further) brain damage.

Wet sand to 2K grit and then 0000 steel wool with polish. That usually gets them pretty shiny, unless of you have a buffer

Yeah I've only got 1k at the moment - you're right they could take on some more shine...
Thanks for the tip!

Shit. They look great! I ended up getting some of that brown horn from the same place. Can't wait to make a set!! Mine were/are warped a bit too but probably because they come at 1/8 inches which is perfect thickness. I will try to steam them flat. Yours look awesome though :) thanks for posting!

Just as an FYI .... the laminate stuff they sell is infinitely easier to work with and it looks great.
