Cutting Board

Cutting Board

image

I made this cutting board from Appleply. (Appleply’s a hardwood plywood similar to Baltic Birch) I cut it in 1 inch strips, laid it side to side and laminated it all together again. The top of the “cutting” board is this pattern of very thin, but consistant strips of hardwood. I finished it with General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish. Works great and weighs a ton!

Keith Jones home \| projects \| blog 19 posts in 313 days posted 310 days ago	The Appleply is 3/4” nominal. This board’s made of 15 strips (I think). -- Keith
Sef home \| projects \| blog 97 posts in 550 days posted 310 days ago	That is beautiful. Goes to show that quality ply edges don’t always have to be covered, as they can sometimes add a nice touch to a project. -- I may not know a lot, but at least I know that I don't know.?.?. I think. http://chathampenworks.com/

Keith Jones home \| projects \| blog 19 posts in 313 days posted 308 days ago	Heya! Appleply is just a domestic version of Baltic Birch plywood. There’re both made with Alder/Birch plys. I’ve bought both from my supplier, but the appleply is higher quality and more expensive. Do you have any domestic plywoods? I remember visiting a lumberyard in the Tablelands a couple of years ago and trying to figure out how to take all these beautiful Australian woods home on the plane… -- Keith
