That's not a Cutting Board. THIS is a Cutting Board... How about you?

[S-met]

Small bamboo, acacia end grain with trough, thick maple end-grain, bamboo with trough, larger end-grain and a white marble pastry stone. Not shown are a couple of synthetic ones that live in my camp gear, not that nice, but light weight and serves their purpose.

You guys got boards that are to pretty to cut on. My SIL is refinishing my Grandfather Rock Maple Butcher Table. 4 inches thick, 2 foot Wide and 6 feet Long. I want it for a Rolling Island in my kitchen...JJ

The only way to disrespect a board is to not use it, or not keep it well oiled. My boards see blades regularly. They seem to smile a little whenever I drop a fatty slab of meat on them.

I'm looking forward to using it as well. Just with everything going on, it's a low priority. Between the new Chicken Coop and Run getting done, the entire yard needing to be fenced-in and a falling tree smashing the front end of our van, money is tight. Plus the kitchen is not that big, so we are trying to decide if we want to cut it in half, which I hate to do, design a way to work with it full length...JJ

I'd like to see a pic . Man ,,, hold out on the cutting if you can .

Couple more I made , never used . Only because I'm hooked on a store bought I've used for the last 35 years .

That will be awsome. Glad my wife doesn't read this forum. She has been all over me to make an island for the kitchen to replace the cheap store bought we have.

I've still yet to put a knife to the new one. I'll change that Saturday with a cook. Got to get a good spread on it for the photo op!

Hey chopsaw, I'm looking to buy a new cutting board. Any tips/ideas? What brand was the one that you've had for 35 years?

Nice thread here. I just saw this, & thought it ironic since I’ve had the “make cutting boards” urge recently. I’ll try to post a pic of the one I’m almost done with. I still need to put the little rubber feet on it, take a couple of blemishes out. I wanted it bigger, but my planer is only so big. The board is about 11”x22”x1-3/4”. I plan on using it the first time for a brisket cook off I’m having on the 9th.

Walnut, maple, & Purple Heart.

Man, some of you guys have boards that look more like furniture than kitchen tools, I'd be afraid to ruin them. For the last 20 years or so I've used this white plastic board for just about everything, clean it with bleach and rubbing alcohol every time to make sure there's no cooties in the knife marks. I make the black lines with a felt pen and framing square at 7" intervals for linking sausage. RAY

Nothing wrong with that. My son made his mom one that she refuses to use. It’s four or five years old & has never seen a knife. See pic below.

What are you looking for ? Edge grain , face grain or end grain .
The one I use all the time has no name on it . It's a face grain board . Not even sure what it's made out of . Last a long time .
I like the edge grain boards . Easy to put together , I just put the first coat of oil on this one about an hour ago .

I'd be happy to put something together for you . I don't get real fancy with them . That one is for a gift , and I have another to do when it's done .
