Contouring
After all the wood pieces have been cut, it is time to contour your project. Contouring will bring your pieces to life and give your project a realistic look and character. Many tools are available for this process. They include contour sanding sleeves, oscillating sanders, detail hand sanding tools, pneumatic sanders, and sanding shims. Double-sided tapes can be used to hold the pieces to sanding shims when contouring.
Pictures from different angles of the project help to determine the amount of wood to remove. Patterns may also indicate where to remove wood. After the project is contoured, use a fine grit paper to give each piece a final sanding.
