Wow, you sure the mice didn't "checker" those before you got there? My
mentor used a checkering file, swore by it, I think Schaff still sells it, I
know I have one around here somewhere. I used it once or twice and then
learned it wasn't necessary! Those are really hacked up, looks like the work
of a chisel or small sanding disc.
