Best sanding tool? (sh.itjust.works)

Our roof has these wooden support beams which are a pretty rough cut wood, I was wondering which electrical sanding tool would be the best for something like this, an orbital sander, belt sander...? Thanks!

If you have several tools on hand, just try each of them out on it and see which you like best. Don't overthink it.

Aside from that, in general a belt sander tends to be a more agressive tool than an orbital sander. You might use the former first, then switch to the latter for the final smoothing.
