What happens here

For geometric shapes like hexagons, a template (such as an existing hexagonal shelf frame) can be placed on the panel and traced. For other shapes like triangles or rhombuses, use a measuring tape and a speed square to accurately mark the desired dimensions and angles with a pencil. Carefully cut along the marked lines using a 14-inch bandsaw, ensuring smooth and precise cuts. After cutting, use a benchtop oscillating sander to refine the edges and remove any saw marks, achieving perfectly shaped cutting boards.

Goal: Templates and measuring tools are used to mark desired cutting board shapes onto the sanded panels, which are then cut using a bandsaw and refined with an oscillating sander.

20 to finish it off next comes the fun part this is where we start drawing all the shapes I went with the five classic shapes that I found really suiting for this the hexagon at the Pentagon the kite the triangle and what I call the circle but really it's a variation of a half circle half pac-man it's got a little fun twist on it I drew everything out using all the square tools that I had making sure they're all symmetrical and straight and then I brought it over to my bandsaw to start cutting all the shapes out now knowing you would leave some saw marks on the edges I brought it over to my sander my bench top oscillating sander and I started cleaning up all day just to make sure they're nice and sharp the less curvature they had or grooves the smoother and slicker and cleaner this
