Use a belt sander to flatten the surface so there is no noticeable ridge/transition from board to board. First, move the belt sander in a diagonal motion across the boards. Once the transition is smooth, then sand with the grain along the length of the boards.
Switch to a random orbit sander and to progressively finer grades of sand paper until the surface has no discernable texture. Random orbit sanders are faster and produce a finer finish that regular orbital sanders, using a dual action of a rotating sanding disk and an elliptical movement of the sanding platform.
Trim one end of the cutting board on a table saw. Place the cutting board in a wooden cradle that holds the wood steady as you slide it into the saw blade. Cut only a thin strip off the end, to smooth the edges of the three boards that you glued together. Establish which side of the cutting board will be the top—possibly by selecting the surface with the more attractive wood grain.
