Hi All,
In the past I have made some cutting boards or serving trays but they have been round so I go from the band saw to the lathe and finish them up.
Well when turning them my rounding over was like a 1/2" or better taper into the board. Well I moved on the different shapes and LOML does not like the round over I am now putting on them with the router as she likes the slim edge.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can do this short of one lot of sanding??? Hope this is somewhat clear but I went from round to this.
Thanks, SydC:\Users\Syd\Pictures\Cutting Boards\DSC05026.JPG
 
Syd, I can't see the picture you tried to post (it's pointing to a photo on your C: drive), but for most of the cutting boards I've done, I used a 3/8" roundover bit on the router, then softened things up with a bit of additional sanding.
 
Hi All,
Vaughn, I have printed it out this time so now all I will have to do is remember where it is.
Ron, who cares about the the photos, come to NH for a ride in the truck.
Bill, not in your league for cutting boards--man those are nice!!!!

If I can do it anyone can, its really not that hard. I use the Wood Whisper's plans to start and went from there.
 
Hi All,
More rain so I got some computer time to try postings pics.
Al -- I tryed that but she wants more taper, I guess Vaughn is right - round over and sand.
Bill -- What is Wood Wisper and can I get there??
Now to see if the pics came out or not?
Syd
P.S. Two cherry abnd two corian.

Those are great looking boards, I call them bread boards not cutting boards but I really don't know why.
I really like the corian ones..

The Wood Whisperer is a young mane that does some really nice work and he as some very nice videos to help others learn.

If you go here and look down the list you will see #7 part 1 and 2, these are his cutting boards.

I agree...those boards look great, Syd. :thumb:

Here's a close-up of the kind of rounded edge I was making...
