As I was sawing out eight knee blocks for an oval stool I began to wonder what would be the best way to smooth the sawn surfaces? I ended up using a file and sandpaper-very tedious. I know the sawn surfaces are not in plain sight, but nevertheless they are pretty rough when they come off the bandsaw. Any suggestions? Should I even bother trying to smooth them? Whar about antiques pieces? Were they left rough?
