Step 7: Sand and plane again

When you remove the clamps you should now have two panels, each 1/2 the width of your cutting board.  Use a palm sander with a rough sanding pad to quickly remove the biggest glue marks on the wood.  

Then, run the two boards through the planer, taking off as little material as possible on each of the faces to take off the remaining glue marks.  The boards should now be perfectly flat on both sides.

When they come out of the planer, you can really for the first time get a preview of how nice your cutting board will look.  It really pops!
