Have you looked for a cabinet shop in your area? I know of at least
one luthier who "rents" time on a shop drum sander. If it's not in
use and he pays for the sanding paper...

Anyway they would show up with multiple instrument fronts and backs to
thin down to their playing thicknesses. After spending a couple of
hours at the shop everyone is happy.

Thank you. Do you sand with the grain, across the grain, diagonally,
or circular motion?
