Can I steal the idea… lol
Long and sweet.
I do like the line of the stripes.
Do you use a template to cut the shape?

Good color combo and shapes.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

any info on what woods those are?

Quite a utilitarian design that’s beautiful to boot. I can see all kinds of uses for a board like these…cutting bread, playing cricket, disciplining the kids…..

Good looking boards. Will you provide a little detail on wood selection and finish?

That size is great for cutting bread. What a great idea…I too will “steal” the idea!
Thanks

Thanks for all the kind comments. I had kept the description short because I tend to run on a bit at times…

Ericandcandi, the woods are, from left to right: figured maple with padauk and cherry, cherry with roasted maple and regular maple, bird’s eye maple with purpleheart and cherry, cherry with padauk and walnut, roasted maple with purpleheart and cherry. The finish is mineral oil as recommended by mtkate. I was thinking of other finishes (after all it’s a bread board, not meat or veggie). However, mtkate rightly pointed out that if there’s a board (any board) in a kitchen, it will likely be used for veggies or meat even though it may be meant for bread. So I decided to play it safe and use mineral oil.

Degoose, Ellen, by all means steal it. That’s what Lumberjocks is all about: the exchange of ideas and techniques. The wide strips are 1”, the highlight strips are 1/2”, and the smaller stips are 1/4”. Degoose, the template is paper and is drawn onto the board before cutting. The wholke handle section is 6” from shoulders to tip, the round handle being about 2 inches across. The hole is 3/4”. The boards are 5/8” thick. They just looked a little too chunky at 3/4” thick.

Scopemonkey, you think like my wife. She picked up one of the bread boards, whacked it in her palm a couple of times, nodded in approval, and went hunting for our 10-year-old. :-D

“went hunting for our 10-year-old.” .....LOL… I remember being the hunted one ! hahahahaa

These are great …very nice selection and design : )

Nice cuttin boards.

Roasted Maple? Not sure I’ve heard of that before. Surely you don’t roast regular maple? ;) ...or maybe you do…I have no idea.

Nice work on these…they have a very nice look to them.

Roasted maple….huh….(I say as I scratch my head…)

-- If, in your life, you attain the means to help; you incur the responsibility to act.

Hey ghazard. Yeah roasted maple. It’s curly maple cooked at a high temp and then rehydrated somewhat. The heating makes it VERY workable, almost like a softwood. It’s gorgeous, but not best for oiled finishes which tends to turn it almost black and hide the curl. Best with a finish such as poly.

Very nice——Thanks

These are really sharp. I like the shape for longer French breads.
