Lesson 4: Cutting Board Sanding & Shaping
Duration of Days: 4
Lesson Objective
Students will sand their design for the project.
They will also add an edge shape using the router.
How much sanding is required to make your project finish ready?
What grit of sandpaper should be used for the spaces?
Should you use more than one grit to complete this step?
How will we add the shape to the edge of the board?

WM.05.03 Design and create cabinet and wood products
Smooth and shape a laminated hardwood cutting board. Allow students to demonstrate their ability to use a surface sander to create a finish, sanded surface that is ready for shaping. They will then use a router to shape the edge to a finished point. Students will use sandpaper to finish sand the full board to prepare for finishing.
Students will be able to create a design that aligns to their own personal ability and comfort level.
They will be given the assistance needed to complete the task at hand.
Students will have a design that is smooth throughout.
They will also have a routered edge on their project.
