Hello Everyone

With so many different brands of sandpaper on the market I would like to ask your assisstance in choosing the best quality. I will be using it on the following timbers as I will be building furniture http://cdn.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Camphor Laurel
Spotted Gum
Forest Red Gum
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

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.
