Walnut and Maple Cutting Board

Project by cckeele posted 740 days ago 1724 views 2 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Had some leftover maple from the butcher block table I did so I ended up making a couple of cutting boards I can hand out for x-mas. they both measure 17 X 11 X 1 3/4”. I didnt have enough lumber leftover to do end grain boards or else I would have but thats just my preference. Tell me what you think :)

Ditto. Maple and walnut compliment each other quite nicely. Well done. I like the finish. Is that mineral oil/wax or salad bowl finish?

Beautiful cutting board. Walnut and maple always seems to go together well.

The finish is Watco Butcher Block Oil which I believe is a combination of Tung Oil, Mineral Oil and Boiled Linseed oil. Im almost positive. Any butcher block cutting board or table would be well served by mineral oil alone if you ask me. The wood will absorb a lot of the mineral oil and doesnt seem to leave a finish. These combo oils definatley leave a finish very similar to multiple coats of Tung Oil. I found this in John Boos Mystery Oil and Watco Butcher block oil. I believe salad bowl oil carries similar ingredients but im not sure. I dont care to much for the shine of the combo oils myself, but its what I had available. so I think next time around im just gonna finish with mineral oil because with these im more concerened about the functionality than the flare.

Nice. As mentioned, Maple and walnut have always been a really nice pair. Nice to see a domestic cutting board look so nice and classic.

Can’t decide which I like better, the cutting board or the table. Both are very nice.
