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

[Misplaced Nebraskan]

Fresh out of it's oil bath of multiple days

Bad lighting in the kitchen, but still glorious!

(old 24x18 board for reference...)



Just got a new Cutting Board Finished up by a good friend. I've had this board in my head for years and finally pulled the trigger to commission my buddy to make it. Loooooove it!

36"X24"X1.5" End Grain
Purple Heart, Padauk, and Spalted Pecan
Juice Groove with a good sized Trough at the end.

I've got many miles on the "old" one and It'll still be used heavily but now comes the hard part of putting that first knife into this work of art!

How about y'all? any favorite boards or custom ones you've got? Dream Boards? Daily Drivers? Plastic or Wood? Edge vs End grain?

I've got different boards for different foods; dairy, veggies, raw meat, carving...

Just curious what others have or use. Obviously I've got Cutting Boards on my mind

That thing is awesome! I've primarily got some cheap bamboo ones, I've got a "bowl" one for use with an ulu knife that I got from Alaska, and one 24x18 cheaper wood one that is nothing special. I've been wanting to make a cutting board though!

That's so nice I'd be afraid to actually use it. I'd probably hang that in my kitchen!

I have one of those mezzaluna style knives and rounded board too! Board is long gone but still got the rocker. I've got a cutting board addiction... I think like over 15 or so...

Right?! Like a new car. The first scratch hurts the most but after that... game on. Hopefully anyway!

Haha. My kitchen doesn't have space for that many. I've got a tiny kitchen that resembles a hallway more than a proper kitchen, for now at least. Once I'm done with it it will be a lot more open and have more cabinet/counter space. That'll be the biggest change and the most expensive room when I'm done. Then I can expand my cutting board collection. All I know is this is a dangerous forum that has me wanting to spend fortunes on meat.

Thank you. Looking forward to it.

I've been messing with them myself . Made 4 or 5 over the last month or so . Nothing to fancy . Couple of face grain , 1 edge grain and a small end grain .

Forums are great at spending money for you! Through Forums I have met people that'll take my money for Cutting Boards, Laser Engraving, BBQ rubs, expensive meats, SWAG... and way more! lol!

I still want to eventually do a little side job of making some but I just keep paying my friend. He has worked for BBQ before so there is that saving grace

Got any pics of the boards?

 

[chopsaw]

Like I said nothin fancy . I like the edge grain board . Oak , maple and mahogany . The end grain board is heart pine .

Just a face board , but they last a long time . I have a few of those . Use them more as serving platters for sausage or cheese . All maple .

 

[motocrash]

Very nice.I too have been wanting a bigger board than 18x24.

 

[phathead69]

Played around and made a few
Simple face grain maple

Inlay face with walnut left first coat off beeswax, right no coating yet.

Pattern end grain maple and walnut

 

[chopsaw]

Nice work on those .

 

[phathead69]

Nice work on those .

Thanks and yours look good also. Don't know about you but for me that was " I wanna try that" and after a few " ok tried that, was fun but time to move on" sorta thing. May try one more round this winter adding juice channel.

 

[chopsaw]

I pretty much made those out of off fall , scrapes . Yeah , next one needs to be a challenge . Tuff to drop the money on exotic woods when I have 4 that have never seen a knife
Lol .

 

[HalfSmoked]

Nice job guys.

Know what you mean . First pic stays in cabinet outside with smoking grilling stuff for a board out there , used once. Last pic one on right is in kitchen and used a lot. Two in lays went to couple guys at work. Other one to a family friend. Funny thing is we have a small store bought bamboo board I use for small stuff like cheese or small amounts veggies. Its pretty rough but I still haven't had the urge to build one to replace it, go figure.

Looks great! Great wood selections. A lot of ours get used as platters/trays as well. This big one can be used as a table now

Those are neat! Inlay looks great and I like the wavy offset patterns. Keeps em unique. Colors work well too.
