CUTTING BOARD 101
How to make the cutting board seen in the picture.
GATHER YOUR WOOD
Cut the pieces you need on the tablesaw and miter saw
The 4 pieces you need are:
Walnut - 14" X 3.5"
Walnut - 14" X 1"
Hickory - 14" X 2"
Hickory - 14" X 1.5"
Glue Your Pieces Together
Use a wood glue to glue your four pieces together. Try and make it as straight as possible and then clamp them. Leave them overnight or until it's dry.
Put the Cutting Board Through the Planer
Go through as many times as needed to make sure the board is as straight as possible.
Sand
Sand your cutting board till it's smooth and you fell no rough edges. We also decided to round our corners.
Cut the Corners + Drill Hole
We cut two corners that were opposite of each other. We measure 4" in from both sides and then cut it off on the miter saw. Drill a hole in the corner using the drill press. We made our hole 1.5" diameter
Oil the Cutting Board
This last step will make your cutting board look a lot nicer and the woods will stand out more significantly. Make sure the oil is edible.
