[Woodcarver] Maple Floor Surfacing

[Loren Woodard]

Jean:

If you have a belt sander you can probably sand off the finish and any grit
before running the wood through your surface planer.  I would use a course
grit because you will be able to remove the scratches with your surface
planer.   Good luck and enjoy the wood.
