[nabs-l] Thoughts on Modifying Wooden Chess Pieces

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I used a small file to start. Then I used 100 grit sand paper to smooth out 
the piece. I did the final sanding with with 300 grit sand paper. Then I put 
a clear high gloss lacquer over the entire piece for uniformity. Then i 
buffed this out with a polishing bit on a dremmal tool.
