What grit did you use for this? I've always been curious about sanding down the rougher surfaces, but haven't pulled the trigger since I've read conflicting results about seasoning after the fact.

Steel wool and elbow grease is what it looks like to me.

Isn’t steel wool too fine for removing bumps?

For finishing, sure. But I’d be looking around 600grit for my first pass.
