<body><div>Wow, a 12 on a scale of 0-10. Wonderful.</div><div>That brown paper thing is something I tried once with woodturning, long before I had the finishing knowledge I now have so did not work out. But I know artists who do that folk art painted wood stuff with acrylic craft paints use brown paper as a final abrasive. I think I will retry the brown paper technique. John</div>
