 sandpaper or else

Hi reedmakers all,

I've wondered through the years about the use of sandpaper to finish reeds.
Since I've got some numbness in my fingers (which can make them awkward at times) I thought I'd try an alternative: emory boards.

These are the 'orange'-colored cardboard things one uses to file one's fingernails. They are cheap, portable, and have a fairly fine 'grit'. I was surprised at how well they worked on the backs of my latest reeds.

I'll report further when I have outstanding results, but I thought I'd share a possible tool with those of you who use sandpaper.
