Has anyone here actually sanded a newer cast iron skillet down, like a Lodge, and noticed a big difference?

I've done it and was not satisfied. It took the tops off the high spots and left pits where the low places were. BTW the old pots I've collected started out smooth. They didn't get that way through use. They just got better through use.

Trying to get that smooth surface is what started me on the search for the old pots.
