What happens here
Prepare custom molding strips for the countertop edges. Use a router with a decorative round-over bit to create a finished edge profile along the length of each wooden strip. Ensure the wood is securely held and the router is operated safely. Once the edges are routed, cut the strips to the correct lengths for the countertop. These custom-made molding pieces will be attached to the perimeter of the countertop to give it a refined, finished look.
Goal: Fabricate decorative wooden molding for the countertop edges.
