I went to a crafts festival and saw some end grain cutting boards.
So I said to myself, "Christmas gifts!" I went on YouTube, looked at the
process and decided it's time to buy a planer.
Drum sander (or belt sander) would do it easier. Drop the raw item on the deck
and run a flooring machine over it a few times, then take the machine
back to the rental place.
I'd use a planer with the sacrificial boards if I didn't have a DS, but
you'd need to clean you the surface first with a belt sander before
having at it.
Since I do have a DS. I get the surfaces flat with 36 grit, then work up
to 180 before finishing with a RO sander.
