The final woodworking step on your cutting board is to sand it thoroughly. Use a palm or random orbital sander with progressively finer grit sandpapers to give you a nice smooth finish. It never hurts to follow the sander work with a hand sanding for a perfect final touch.
Clean all sawdust off of the board when you're satisfied with the sanding.
