    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.
