African Mahogany

Thank you

I bought a lot of Klingspor some years back, which I have not yet used up.
I haven't had any experience of the others but the older Klingspor is excellent.
There are different opinions on the newer stuff.
Here is a discussion on the boating forum:
Klingspor vs Mirka and Indasa sandpaper - The WoodenBoat Forum (http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?t=75042)

All the brands that the Sandpaper man are good, as are his prices. Don't waste your money on the crap that the green shed has.
