Taking a slice of burl, and getting the surface flat has traditionally meant I have broken out the belt sander which (unless it is a particular shade of green) is NOT a precision machine. Some will use handtools – planes, scrapers etc to get the surface flat, but circumstances (and a complete lack of time) means I tend to select powered (electron murdering) machines, and the drum sander is particularly suited to the task.
