    You can find the extremely high small pieces of sand paper at hobby stores. Specifically I found a bunch of them at a specialized train hobby store. The ones I have are plastic squares of various bright colours.

    I never thought about a hobby store. We have a hobby lobby here in town. I wonder if they would have something?

    Nice job. try the local body shop supply place. The one by me has w/d through 3K. If you cannot find it, I'd be happy to puck up some for you and mail it.

    The Hobby Lobby where I live carries high grit sandpaper. They come in packs that include a sheet of all the grits, from 320 to 12000. They are located(at least here) near the air brush supplies.

    Mvcrash, thanks for the offer, I will let you know if I can't find some.

    Theseus, found the sandpaper at our HL! Just picked up one pack until I find out how good of paper it is.

    Mocked up a rough 1st draft of my pattern out of yellow cedar. Man, the smell takes me back to my wood burning kit I had as a kid!

    It even centers!! Hahahaha.
