Not only does it not fit in the dishwasher, it mostly does it not fit in the sink, I have to stand it on end but I have a nice routine. However, that slight inconvenience is not a problem.

. Cutting boards are one of my favorite workshop projects as well. Since mine are usually given as gifts, I also favor gluing up multiple widths and colors of wood, which does add to cost and complexity.
Be wary of doing this if you have no way to flatten it afterwards.Those are some beautiful boards by
Like many hobbyists, I'm limited by the 13" width of my planer, though I'm thinking of doing wider cutting boards in two pieces then gluing them together. It'll take more sanding to get it right, but might be worth the effort.
I have an actual cutting block from a meat department almost exactly like this...
My kitchen faucet pulls out like a hose so your comment is more correct than you know. It’s the only way to hose it down. Haha!
You can certainly do that . Just glue up your halves at 12 1/2 " and run them thru the planer together , so you match the thickness . Sister them together using a straight edge 90 degrees to the joint on the surface of the board . I use wax paper here so the glue doesn't get to them . Then it's just some hand work to even it out . I did that with this coffee table top . Ran 2 halves then put it together .
I don’t think they are so long as the blade isn’t used as a food scraper/pusher horizontally on the surface (like my w**e does).
Not to derail, but is that a Craftsman table saw I see over to the right?
Yes . 10 " contractors model . I've had that 30 years .
Very nice. I have my dad's which is the same one and it's at least that old. I also have his Craftsman 10" radial arm saw and a bunch of his other woodworking stuff to include routers, planer, scroll saw, etc. He only bought Craftsman back in the day...
