Long Grain Cutting Board

Excellent looking cutting board. Great combination of woods. I am sure your son will get some use out of it. Planers are nice to have when it comes to projects like this one….

Tom, it turned out great! Glad you like the Ridged planer, I think you will be very happy with your choice.

Thanks Max and Greg,

I’m glad that I viewed some cutting board projects on this site before I made this one, because little tips like, keeping the grain all in the same direction, can be important.

I was in a hurry to make something so I could plane it, and so this was quick and easy, and my son loves it.

Nice looking cutting board Tom. I’m glad you got you a planer. My Ridgid planer has been a great machine.

Thanks Greg,

It really does open up a whole bunch of new project options. I could have made this by using my hand planes, but I can really knock one out with this planer.

Hello Tom,

Great wood choice! It will be a shame to use it.

Nice job!

Thanks a lot Lee,

Not much of a project compared to guys like you and Mark (DeCou), but it’s still fun and rewarding.

Very cool. Sounds like your liking the jointer. Er, Planer.

Thos,

Thanks for rejoicing with me. I am grateful to have acquired it, and will try to put it to good use making useful and beautiful things out of wood.

There’s no holding him back now!

Great job Tom.

Great Job On the Cutting block. Just remind him to cut on only one side and leave the other side up for viewing.
