Hi Stemo, glad your bowl turned out well.
As for the bag paper, it's useful to use for 2000 grit sandpaper, but
like spats, bustles and dead tail centers, IMHO, its time has mostly
passed, except to read about in old books. Although I think glue blocks
are still very useful, interposing paper seems unnecessary with today's
glues and parting tools. I wonder why you, and it seems many others put
paper between the join. Somebody correct me. Arch

Fortiter,
