Project Information

This end grain board is a custom order through my web site. It is 25"x32"x1.5" and solid cherry. It weighs 28 pounds and was a handful to wrestle while finishing. I have a Jet 16/32 drum sander, and even with the open end feature, feeding something of this size and weight through it takes a lot of patience and many light passes to make sure one side doesn't get too far ahead of the other side. My digital caliper shows 1.50167 on one end and 1.4998 on the other end. I usually don't subscribe to the "close enough" theory, but I felt this was close enough. Any more sanding could have taken it in the wrong direction.

I only have to figure out how to package and ship it to California tomorrow.

That is a monster of a cutter. I would hate to try and tackle one this size without a drum sander. But even at that I am sure it was a lot of work.

It is a beautiful board, but I wouldn't have a counter big enough for it to sit on!!

Wow, that's a monster! I would have thought the sander would have handled it with no problem though? Nice sale and good job.

Looks very nice. Great work. You mentioned in your profile that you used to work in the telecommunications business. What company did you work for? I have been in that business for 39 years.

If you don't mind my asking, roughly what does a beatie board like that go for?

Wow what a great board!! I went to your website, very nice products for very good prices. I can see why someone would order all the way from California. Your cutting boards would go for 3 times your prices in the town I live in.

Very nice, did you finish it in boiled linseed oil? I noticed the pot in the backround. Nice and solid. Love cherry!

No, it's just mineral oil and beeswax.
