Drunken Cutting Boards #1: Drunken Alice in Wonderland Cutting Board

Nice review I’m sure the Chairman of the Board is raising his Toucans to this Blog…Blkcherry

I’ll drink to that! When I sober up I want to try one of those. Seriously, Thanks for a great blog and I really do have this on my list of things to do. Thanks for sharing.

test question :
if you do 3 boards , how many do you get ?
if you do 4 ?
or 5 ?
how about 6 ?
thats what this started as 6 boards
just count the different kinds of wood .

so how many boxes ?

Cool blog good Job well done

6 boxes? (I reserve the right to edit this to the correct answer) 1 box a board?
This is pure genius or complete insanity! Great, Inspiring Idea! I see it now. I was thinking when I was making these, you could make a table or panels out of these because the boards match up you could join a bunch together for a lid to a box or a door for that matter. I feel like we are drinking beers in the woodshop together.

Awesome Scott. Thank you for sharing!

the higher the stack ,
the more careful the cut .
if the blade gets to whipping , the top board ,
and the bottom board have slight irregulars in them .

your answerer is correct ,
how ever there are only 2 like this one ,
after the first cut and glue up i used the other matches for other stacked cuts

Scott,
This tutorial is great! It is so easy to understand and follow. I’ll be trying my hand at this soon.
Thanks for the instruction… with kudos to David and Larry!

Scott, this is a nice blog on the construction of these boards. I have been meaning to try one (of course I have to clear out some of my other “commissions” that my wife has given me) and this has been both an inspiration and a well documented tutorial. I will be following this series.

Both Curly Maple AND Curly Walnut !!! You’re my hero , Scottie : ) Thanks for simplifying this process for the weak at heart like myself : ) Your blog and photos are excellent and I am looking forward to your next post on this subject. What size blade are you using and do you draw lines to follow , or just freehand your curves ?
That’s a nice sanding drum that you have there . What’s the model # ?

Len, 1/2” Timberwolf. would do this fine. For this blog I left on my 1” 3tpi resaw blade. (lazy) I cut the curves free hand with out lines in a semi specific way due to the lack of any nessasary pattern. All I have is Curly wood I can’t help it. It’s the Grizzly drum and flap sander I think its a 4” drum, VERY handy for the cost.
When are we going to see your next project post? get to work.

Thanks for the feedback , Scott. I still haven’t posted my last project , because I’m going to Tewksbury to retrieve it on my way to Lexington and the LJ picnic this Saturday . I want to get some pics of it in the daylight and now the young couple have decided which side of the board that they want the juice groove cut into.
That’s one of the boards that I ordered some sweet Curly Maple from Poroskywood.com on Ebay for.
Ever hear of them ? The owner is one HECK of a nice guy and the products couldn’t be better.!!
Also , the fast shipping and care taken with packaging the products can’t be beat. : )

I try to avoid changing my bandsaw blade as well unless I really have too…I don’t think it’s a laziness issue as much as it is a necessary evil : )

Does it say anything about my sobriety if that board looks straight to me?

This is a great how-to. I might have to have a drink and try it out. Maybe not in that order…

very cool…
