Step 5Surface Preparation

Surface Preparation
The next day, I removed the clamps. The box was, indeed, a single solid piece. I applied some wood filler to the surface, and scraped the excess off with a putty knife, and then left that to dry overnight.

The next day, I sanded the surface smooth with a bit of 220 grit hand sandpaper. Then, using some 80 grit sandpaper on my stationary disk sander, I cleaned up any overhangs on the box finger joints. I then rounded down all the edges and corners.

After this, I applied a second coat of wood filler and then sanded it down in preparation for surface finish.
