Dining table bench - part 28 -- Sanding the edges of the bench...

Need to finish sanding the front edge of the bench (the edge that is straight and faces the table).

I had started sanding the front edge previously.

Need to do the rest...

Set it up vertically for the sander.

Sanded the edge with 60, 100 & 150 grit.  Done.

Also sanded the "live" edge with 60, 100 & 150 grit.

Decided to leave a trace of the dark bark on the live edge to give it a little more character.

This end is pretty coarse.  Will sand it down some.

About 2/3 of the way through the sanding process...

After sanding.

There's some bark "character" left.

Hit the top of the bench with some 150 grit paper, again.

It's ready for the epoxy step.
