The only one I ever did it to I ended up with many gashes in the wood from all the cuts I had to make, and chunks torn out because it is partially glued to the wood inside, if I remember right. The amount of work it will take to smooth that up is rediculous and much more than just trying to smooth out the plastic. If you are near a bowling alley they generally throw away a lot of the old beat up ones. My wife snagged me about 12 or 15 for free. Some are really beat up and others just need the dings and dents filled. The one I skinned was actually torn open already and was still a big chore to finish off.
