I just routed hand holds the (3) cutting boards (cherry) & ended up with burn marks from using a 1/4" roundover bit. Sanding with coarse to fine grit is taking forever. Is there a better/quicker way to remove the burn marks? I will be using Butcher Block mineral oil on these boards, so the burn marks will show if I don't remove them. Re-routing will most likely renew the burn marks or affect the size of the hand holds(???).
Could there possible be a "solution" of some sort, that would work, yet not adversely affect wood?
I have a deadline of this weekend to finish the boards, so would appreciate your comments.
