From Logs to Charcuterie Boards - Part 4 - Rough Sanding and Bark Removal

Between the sawmill, the drying process, and the flattening process, the boards can look a little rough. Additionally, many have the bark still on the sides. In this step, we use heavy duty sanders and remove all the rough marks from the boards. We also remove the bark from the boards. We remove the bark because often it falls off over time and we feel it detracts from the overall beauty of the wood.

Tools used during this part of the process:
2 Bosch 6 In. Dual-Mode Random Orbit Sanders
Dewalt 13 Amp Corded 4-1/2 in. Angle Grinder
Kutzall Extreme Shaping Dish - Medium, 4-1⁄2
