Sanding tools for logs

A scraped wood surface it typically smoother and shinier than a sanded surface. Some might even say more natural. A properly sharpened cabinet scraper is a satisfying tool to use. Just man and metal versus wood. The trick to effective scraping is to form a small burr on the edge of the scraper using a burnishing tool such as an old chisel.

The scraper is then held at a low angle to the wood and pulled over the surface so that the hook of the burr engages the wood, forming shavings on the edge of the scraper against the wood.

When you need to remove material quickly, nothing beats a belt sander. These beasts sand very aggressively making them a good choice for the initial sanding pass over roughly planed wood, for removing paints and finishes, or for rapidly removing excess wood such as edging strips that projects above the mating wood surface.

Because I typically use it for rapid removal tasks, I seldom go finer than grit. In fact, 60 to 80 grit is usually what I use. It gets the most use for sanding edging strips, leveling glued up panels, and sharpening the blades for my lawn mower. Yes, this will leave lots of sanding marks but these can be removed in subsequent sanding passes using less aggressive sanding tools. A few words of caution: It is important to keep the sander moving.

If it stays in one spot for more than a few seconds, it will leave a pronounced sanding depression or even a gouge in the wood. Be especially careful when sanding near the edges of a board because there is a tendency to oversand the edges more than the middle.
