re: Triangular Hummingbird Table

Nice table. So you sand off the excess maple? That must be a delicate process. With my neanderthal sanding techniques I’d gouge the surrounding table top. How do you keep it nice and flat? Just being gentle or is there some other trick? I’m interested not because I plan to do cnc inlays, but rather because I have had issues sanding joints across different materials or end/edge grain, etc. Maybe I’m just a neanderthal myself.
