Handmade Wooden Cutting Boards

 

Wooden Cutting Boards


While Ginger has been creating Christmas stained glass items. I thought I would make a few cutting boards to place on our Etsy shop. Each would make a wonderful gift.


 

The one above measures 16 X 10.5 


This handmade wooden cutting board made from Purpleheart, Yellowheart, Cherry, and Walnut wood.



This one is a 20 x 10 Handmade Walnut and Oak Wood Cutting board.

 


 

If you look real close the Walnut has a fishscale pattern that really makes this cutting board pop! 

 



Both handmade cutting boards are from hand-selected, rough cut lumber that is milled to size, cut into strips and glued to the rough shape and size of the board using a food safe and environmentally friendly wood glue. After the glue has dried overnight, it is planed to the proper thickness, cut to the proper size, edges routed and completely sanded. When sanding is complete, I seal and treat the board with scentless, colorless, odorless and food-safe Mineral Oil and beeswax to condition the wood to make sure it lasts for a long long time. 

I hope you enjoy reading,
