finishing puzzle piece edges.

[zimmerstutzen]

Just curious.  I am the type that must study things a dozen times before actually attempting it.  Some wooden kiddie puzzles that I see on line look as if the corners were rounded off by running them past an round over cutter on a router table.   I have cut a dozen or so half inch pieces of elm, oak and cherry to use for stock.  Rounding the edges slightly with a 3/16 or 5/32 ogee would seem to be a nice smooth edge for tots.

I do that with a 1/4" round-over bit. I also sand to 320-grit. This is just for the outer edges not the letters or inside shapes. The inside shapes I take to the sanding mop to take the edge off a bit.
