My daughter, Tracey, was visiting from back east and
while she was here we talked about another project for her. This time
she wanted a cutting board that was a little smaller than the
first one I made her in
2006. This one will be 14" X 9 1/2" X 1" and should be much easier to
use.
One nice thing about this new one is that Tracey picked
out all the wood for it, including which piece went where and the size
of each piece as well. That works for me because it will be exactly what
she wants. The spices of wood that will be used are oak, cherry, hard
maple, sapele, black walnut and alder.
The piece on the left is cherry
and if you look close you can see two pencil lines that are two inches
apart near the center. Tracey asked me if she could have this section
for her project, which I said yes. So I'll be cutting on the line using
the middle of that piece and using said piece in the center of her cutting
board. Now that you know what I'll be doing, let's get started.
