 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.
