It is nice, isn't it? Surprisingly. But it's F.F.F pumice, rather than 
600 paper. As those who know me will suspect, and those who don't won't 
ever, I have a reason for this. Sandpaper om a block requires leveling 
the surface, where wet pumice on a piece of hammer rail cloth glued to a 
chunk of maple doesn't, courtesy of the cloth conforming to the 
irregularities of the molded key top. Time, effort, monetary return, 
simplicity, and quality results are the criteria. This meets them all 
for me, and I like it.
