I'm making some shield back chairs and am rasping the curves with Nicholson #49 and 50 rasps. I'd like to get some finer Auriou rasps to use, instead of following the Nicholson's with files and sandpaper. What grain #'s should follow the Nicholson's? Can the finer rasps get surfaces smooth enough to avoid needing to scrape or sand?
