Whenever I'm sanding I'm usually daydreaming about not sanding. The other day it struck me: Why not sandblast instead? I did a bit of research. Sandblasting is often used to create wood signs. It seems like a natural for smoothing out tikis without all the elbow grease and blisters. Has anyone tried this?

Now, you just can't hand over your piece of art to a sandblasting company and pick it up the next day. And it gets pretty involved when you're looking at shelling out the cash to buy a booth and all of the equipment. It seems like there should be somewhere you could just rent a booth & equipment if you're a casual hobbyist and not a mass producer. I'm still looking into it, but it would be great to hear some feedback if any of you have thought about this or tried it before.
