Crocus cloth doesn't produce a mirror shine, usually because of the way the abrasive is presented to the substrate but rouge on a cotton buff will produce a mirror finish. This is often the final abrasive used to polish jewelry etc. Coe High Buff (zirconium silicate, I believe) can produce as fine or finer finish. ALOX or SiC, in the grits you normally see around the shop are orders of magnitude courser.

Buy the way, I'd recommend that you grow your own wheat and grind your own flour. Somebody's got too much time on their hands. BTW, I do grind my own flour but I let somebody better equipped grow the wheat. :-)

Robert,
Perhaps you didn't mean to come across as snide, but you did.
The suggestion I made would take a blacksmith about ten minutes to implement. Longer for someone without such quick access to fire scale. Seemed to me a reasonable suggestion to make.
Next time you think about getting snide, count to ten first.
