It's important to get a glassy, burnished surface on those boards so they
show the cuts better. Then there's the grain-raising effect of the water
used to wash 'em.

P150 is good enough. You're only dressing up the pig to take it to the
butcher else.

Sand them to the grit that leaves a surface you are proud of, Len.
Seriously. It just "depends".
