How to make a Cutting Board | Recycled Hardwood Flooring
What happens here
Using a random orbital sander, sand the entire cutting board, starting with a coarser grit (e.g., 120-grit) and progressively moving to finer grits (e.g., 180, 220, 320-grit). This process removes tool marks, smooths the surface, and prepares the wood for finishing.
Goal: Achieve a smooth, blemish-free surface on the cutting board.
