2026 Cutting Board

2026 Cutting Board

Life has been going on with lots of activity. When I have a moment, I still work on Projects. I have been a woodworker for several decades and have never made a cutting board. We've been using plastic cutting boards but with all the talk about micro-plastics in our diet, I thought it's about time to rectify that and make a couple of cutting boards.

This first cutting board is going to primarily be used to prepare our proteins in our food so I wanted it large enough to handle all our needs. I will make a smaller one soon that will be for preparing other components in our meals. I like them thick so that they have mass and won't slide around plus with the added thickness, I can refinish the tops as often as I think I need and not worry about it.

Unfortunately, I didn't take hardly any pictures during it's creation. Here is one close to the end.

This is where it will live in our Kitchen. It is cherry which is the same as the cabinets.
