Here are pictures of the sanding sticks & rifflers. The sticks have tensioning springs at the back for those bands of sandpaper that are pictured. Also shown are the 2 larger U-shaped

Pfeil gouges (I thing they are a #5 and a # 9) that get some use from time to time. Not a lot though. The bulk of the work is done with the smallest V shaped and U shaped veiners
 
Thanks! Huge help! I'll be ordering a few new tools based on everyone's suggestions and will be practicing on making smooth lines.

I ordered the files and used them. The files helped me smooth out some of the lines. I was pretty happy with the result and wanted to stop before I messed up. I know there are mistakes, but I'm proud of the way it turned out. Here are some pics of the results.

Looking good to my eyes! Another tool that I use frequently for smoothing is emery boards that I steal from the wife's half off the medicine cabinet. They can be had anywhere from 80 grit up to 400 or finer and are nice because they have a little bit of flexibility and sort of conform to the radius that you are working on.
