I'm making eight long skinny cutting boards, like in the above picture.
My wife suggested this, as she says they have recently become popular here, in Japan. They are made for a loaf of French bread, or for laying out a bunch of snacks, appetizers or cheese.
We having a bunch of people over to the house for Christmas dinner on the 24th, there will be about twenty people all together, and a total of eight households.
Today I went to my wood wholesalers and bought some Maple, the guy gave me a couple of off cuts as a present, a nice piece of Poplar, and a 4' long 10" wide 1-3/4" thick piece of Southern Yellow Pine.
One down seven to go!!
I've got to make eight cutting boards out of this one piece of wood, and then I'll make one very special one for her.
I'm trying to get this done well in advance, so I don't have the finish drying on a project as I'm giving it to someone...... for once!! LOL
Good workout for the hand planes.
Cheers!
