Cutting board with a twist

[Montserrat]

4 little ones, or  1 big one, or two oblong ones 

 

use a trivet - or  

 

hold one and hang your glass of wine into it, while you pile you food on top

What a neat idea, Monti !...Very nice !....Like the bevel edges.  

[kywoodmaster]

That is just too cool.

[dgman]

Cool!

[Iguanadon]

Very nice.

 

I think we should make it Scroll Saw Village's goal to turn everything into puzzles.  World domination!  ;-)

[Dan]

Great idea! 

[DukeNukem]

Definitely a twist looks good. Jerry

3/4"

only mineral oil, because if will be used with food items - you can also use butcher block oil

Thanks all - it was a fun project, a fast project and because of the sizing it made an high-impact gift.  The recipients loved it. 

[penquin]

That is really different, what a great idea.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

Super idea. Nice job cutting and finishing. dave

[Rockytime]

Very clever and very nice. How was the beveling done? A small router perhaps?

[orangeman]

Monti,

 

More questions

 

You said it was 16" x 16". That means the squares are 8" square.

 

Ok. How did you plane it to 3/4"? My planer can only do 12"+ a little.

 

Seems to me that 1/2" would be better to handle with a wine glass and some food on top, no?

 

Looks like a great idea.

They were boards that came in that thickness - bought at the hardwood store. 

 

I like the thickness, but one could do thinner, if one preferred.  

[wombatie]

Oh wow that is so cool, what a great idea.  Great work Monti.

 Great they can turn in to beer mats as well. I am always buying chopping boards just bought one in olive wood which will turn into pens like magic and the surplus bits into crosses. Roly
