In my pursuit of making wooden jewelry I've been doing a lot of sanding. To make my life a bit easier I made some sanding boards today. They're just scrap pieces of flooring with sandpaper glue-sticked to them, and sheet cork white-glued to their bottoms so that they stay put on my worktable. The grits go from 150 to 1200. After 1200 I like to use micro-mesh pads to really polish the wood, those go up to 12000.
