Jonathan: Beautiful Riv Road!
How (if at all) do you treat/maintain the rims' braking surfaces when the finish is worn off? I, too, really like wooden rims, but the first couple of sets I built used Sturmey drum brake hubs, to avoid the rim wear issue. Now I have a set with a caliper brake on an A.N.T.-built fixed gear, and I'm wondering whether any care is required.

The wheels, laced with 36 "Revolution" butted spokes and shod with 27mm cotton tubulars (80psi) are nicely comfy. The wheels are 5 or 6 years old now. Contrary to Grant's story, I wouldn't say they are high maintenance at all. They are quite tough -- I can even ride them off road! (thanks to the 26 chainring in front).
