What happens here

Once the glued panel is fully dry, use a track saw to precisely cut the panel to the desired dimensions, ensuring all edges are straight and square. A speed square can be used to mark and verify square cuts before beginning. This step creates the final shape and size of your desktop.

Goal: Trim the glued wood panel to the final desk dimensions.
