red gum natural edge table top

Hi all,
I am new to this site and would appreciate some advise from some experts.
I am putting together a 2.1 m x 1.2 m red gum slab table at home.
I am currious about the best method to achieve a nice edge for the natural sides of the slab.
I have a few tools sanders, grinders etc.
Any help would be helpful.
Cheers

i use a wire brush attachment that goes on my 100mm angle grinder & it both cleans & take's off any sharp edges .
just dont keep it in the one spot to long.

would you recommend a brass wire bruss or a steel wire brush
I have a steel one that goes on the grinder but it is very stiff
cheers

Using a brass wire brush is also softer on the timber too :2tsup:

cheers I will pick one up tomorrow

There was another Sydneysider last week asking the same Q. He was also asking about sealing the edges once scrubbed down. Check out thread "newby stuck with red gum slab
