Here you can see that the edge of the timber has been scalloped with an Angle grinder and flexible sanding disk, this technique is easy to learn and simply requires practice. Quite a lot of pressure has to be exerted onto the disk to get a finish like this. It is far easier to scallop the wood by clamping it firmly to a workbench, apply firm pressure to the grinder and move it away from the work piece whist still pressing down.
