I've done it. This is how I did it:

I started with my flat Corian board covered with 220 grit. I then cut a piece of straight, 1/4" basswood or birch dowel approx. 6" longer than what I need. I'm right handed, so using the meaty part of my left palm as a guide I hold the dowel in my right hand and pull the dowel across the 220, repeating until half of the diameter is scraped off. It takes a while, but it's not terribly hard to do.

The key is having the 220 grit taped to an absolutely flat surface.
