That seems like a lot of extra work to pulp it and everything. I just use a shop made plane with a wide blade. I peel long shavings off a 2x4. It is great because it is already rolled up. I mounted an old hacksaw blade on the TP dispenser so you can rip off the length you need; hand perforating is way overkill. The nice thing is, you can set the plane really fine if you need a softer roll. But don't go too fine or you may find yourself breaking through.

I'm sure the wood variety matters. Elm is very splintery.

Really looking forward to that Extra Virgin Birch. I'm all flush with excitement.

Wenge would be an excellent choice also.
