Hi Jimmy,
That sounds like the safest way to do it. the alternative is for you to carve them and have the kids decorate them. But a 1/4 sheet of coarse 60 or 80 grit sandpaper should do it in no time at all. Buy a pack of 10 sheets at the Ocean state Job Lots for a buck.
I just got back from the field where I spent 45 min's throwing almost everything in my bag. It's 37º, sunny and just the right wind for boomerangs. So much fun one can have with/by himself. LOL Everything was coming back except my eagle wing GooneyBird. It wouldn't make it all the way back. Probably needed more wind. It is my largest boom measuring and weighs about 145 grams.
How is your day going? Have you had a chance to get outside and throw your booms?
I've tired myself out and now I think I'll sit back with a book and maybe fall asleep. Naps are good for us old folks.
Drop me a line and let me know what you've been up to. I hope you had a nice New Years celebration. Talk to you soon.

I'm looking for suggestions on how to have a fairly large group of middle schoolers carve a paint stick boom, quickly and safely. My thinking now is to use a coarse grade of sandpaper and give each kid a piece. But I am open to suggestions as to what else may be better. Thanks in advance.Jimmy
