    How on earth did we manage before sandpaper was invented Ask Jeff Howell, Telegraph.co.uk, UK
    Cabinet makers would use the more accurate honed edges of planes to get a smooth surface, and the finest work was finished by burnishing with a cow's rib-bone or a piece of agate. Only the most delicate work was further smoothed by the only abrasive sheet material available - the skin of a shark or dogfish.
