Gary (Traveller) gives some advice in this thread. You can also see the effect he achieves. http://straightrazorpalace.com/galle...er-hollow.html
It's important to keep a regular scratch pattern, or it'll look bodged. I suspect that it's a bit of a skill to do really well.

Do you think you need a rotary tool? From what it sounds like from Traveller's post that it might be very difficult.

Thanked: 402Maybe you can achieve that look with W/D sand paper as well.

You may shoot Max a quick note. I just had him do a SatinWedge in brushed which came out very nice.

I've achieved similar results in a drill. I made a drum that can be covered in whetever grit if paper i needed. Only thing is, it has to be a perfect circle, & the spindle exactly centred. You won't achieve ai by hand sanding. It'll just look like an unfinished resto as the pattern won't be right.
I matched the drum size to the profile of the grind with this. It'd be easier to get some custom grit flap wheels made i think!
