I've found *one* refrence that says that while 'some people say they had sandpaper' that sandpaper is 'not period'. Frankly, i can't really figure out *what* might be used.
Planes and such, of course, but it would seem that it would be difficult to get a really satiny smooth finish that way.
This is your basic 'medieval fantasy' world, and what i have is a woodcutter/carver who makes things like fancy trunks and mantles and such.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
