What happens here
After assembly, use a router with a round-over bit to smooth and slightly round the top edges of the organizer. This step creates a more finished look, removes sharp corners, and helps prevent splinters. Once routing is complete, thoroughly sand the entire organizer to prepare it for finishing. Finally, apply a wood finish, such as Danish oil, to protect the wood and enhance its natural grain. The video demonstrates applying Danish oil with a rag, ensuring even coverage over all surfaces.
Goal: Refine the organizer's appearance and protect the wood
