    Wow...that's awesome of you,cannonfodder, to take the time to document this and post it.

    It's really great how the craftsmen on SRP really take the time to share their techniques and "secrets."

    Thanks guys!

    From the give-credit-where-credit-is-due department: I did not do anything. I only made the images a bit bigger. Great job.

    On a personal note: Creating longer posts with images in the Wiki is a lot easier than in the forum. And help is always available in the Chat.

    Glad everyone found it helpful. There really wasn’t much to it, just a little sanding and snap a photo between each grit. Another little tip, if you are going to give them a coat of gloss urethane instead of buffing them out don’t sand them to fine. If you do not have micromesh, you can use regular auto body sand paper. Do not go beyond 1000 grit. You can actually go to fine. The finish needs something to grab onto, the light striations give the urethane something to bind with.

    Where did you find sandpaper with those grit levels. Did you end up at an autobody supply store or something?
