Dear list.

I have done the fitting of the board all around the perimeter, using a very
sharp ciesel.  What is left is a few millimeters that protrude at the belly
rail.
Is there a preferred method for trimming this ?
Chiesel again ?
Belt sander ?
Router with guide ?
Gluing the board first, and then sand flush with sanding block ?
I of course try to be as accurate as possible, while avoiding splits in the
spruce.
As always, insights and advice greatly appreciated.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin.
