The “Magic” of Edge Finishing

Summary of Key Points:

• Use fine sandpaper (400-600 grit) to sand the edges flat and even.

• Apply a little water or beeswax to the edge.

• Use a clean canvas cloth to rub and burnish the edge until it is smooth and glossy.

Notes from Việt Lương:

This is the stage where the piece “transforms”. You will see why cutting squarely and gluing tightly in the early steps matter so much. A well-finished edge is the mark of a high-quality handmade piece.
