Hi,
If you place paper over rough sandpaper and draw on top of the paper
with a crayon you get a pretty good tactile line.
If you glue sandpaper on a wooden board I think you would get a pretty
good drawing surface. I was fooling around with different surfaces after
reading an article by Susan Povinelli in the NFB of Virginia's
newsletter where she describes making a screen board with window
screening. http://www.nfb.org/fr/fr13/fr04ss21.htm
At the end of the article she mentions using it for measuring, by
sticking pins in it.
Regards,
Lisa
