I'm Rob McManhon with Expert Village. Check it with indirect light and can see that they are all gone. It looks like a nice, clean piece of wood. You put a high gloss finish on that. To round over a edge more and here it is kind of a rough cut and this edges have a little nice radius. So we will smooth out that end. Then I'm going to put it on a really low speed cause I don't want to take off to much material. Basically all I'm trying to do here is copy that same radius on the very end.
