It was on my original 'to do' list, but it was to be the *last* step. I'm not done yet, and I'm still on the fence over the sand idea. Jeff at Sonic Craft suggested that I shouldn't mess with it.I'm assuming the sand you used was either dry or you took measures to dry it before dumping it in your boxes. How tightly packed was your sand?
As for its destructive powers, I always assumed a carpenter would be familiar with 'sand'paper! That's the one part of the concept that bugs me - sand is awfully abrasive. I've been wondering if other materials would work - how about diatomite ash? Can you imagine how messy that could get?
To be honest, I posted that message as a sort of tongue in cheek way of starting a dialog with a few people who have opinions to share on the topic. I’m curious.
