Will 2000grit sandpaper take off any wood?

Of course, it removes wood not over time but every time. What do you think all that stuff on the sandpaper is. in fact one of the reasons it feels so smooth after sanding is from the fine dust that still remains on the shaft and filling the pores.
Yes. A little at a time. Fine paper is better then a scuff pad.
Thanks for the reply.
What would you suggest I use then if I'm at the pool hall or tournament if my shaft starts to feel kinda sticky. Besides washing my hands which I do quite frequently.
Wipe the shaft down and keep your hands clean. You can also use a little power, there is no law against it as some would like you to think. I lot of top players use power.
Ok thanks. Ill have to get into the habit of constantly wiping my shaft down. Thanks.
Don't forget to clean your tip of chalk dust before putting it in your case either....
Try this
Been doing this for 30 years and the only people you might see doing this are the old timers. You would be surprised to the effects that a crisp bill has on a shaft. No water no sanding just a crisp bill will burnish very well.
$100's work great LOL

Once you have the shaft professionally cleaned, polished, & sealed, just a routine rub down
with something like the $100 bill is all you should need.
I've seen people use matchbook covers, and leather as well.
2000 may not be bad for a quick fix, but I would get the shaft refinished so you don't have to use it all the time.

If you've been using this method, then you've removed any conditioning or sealer that was originally on your cue shaft. With this removed, you have bare wood which will very quickly absorb moisture from the air and oils from your hands which can make it feel pretty bad.
As someone else already stated, have it professionally sealed and conditioned, not just waxed, and then it will be easy to keep clean and smooth. I usually recommend wiping down with a damp paper towel and then buffing with a dry towel. Of course, keep your hands clean by washing with hot water and soap.
One tip that hasn't been given is to keep your bridge hand open at all times. If your hand is closed with your fingers all in contact with each other, your hand gets warm and it will begin to sweat more quickly. Don't put your bridge hand in your pocket and don't hold your cue with it. Just let it hang.
i actually do this! does help big time. good tip for anyone who doesn't.
The trouble is not with just your hands..but the table felt can also be very very dirty. So the shaft gets dirty regardless.
I like the q-whiz. On top of everything stated.
