Here it may not matter that much because as you say the worktop will be fastened to something below but if you want the join as strong as it can be it would be advisable to sand to a finer grit if you first sand with a coarse paper. Or alternatively scrape or plane the wood, which will remove more material faster (much much faster) and still leave you with a smoother surface. | |
