Cutting Board

Always special when they are hand made Fritz. Nice grain match up on the board and like the spatuloons too, my wife uses them all the time (although junky store bought ones). Excellent looking board.

Very nice looking. The zebrawood adds a nice touch to the cutting board, and the walnut spatuloons contrast well with the board. It’s kinda creepy how good they look together ;)

I see you used the “Butcher Block” mineral oil. Hears a tip: I don’t know what ithat stuff cost but you can get mineral oil at wal-mart, or any pharmacy, for $1.50. It’s the same stuff.

Great cutting board and utensils. I am guessing they will be well received.

Very nice board. I like the utensils.

This would fit the “not just another cutting board” category. Very nice!

I really like the zebrawood. The mineral oil finish adds a nice touch to it. The spatuloons are a idea that is right on target for my new bandsaw. I really haven’t had a chance to do anything with it other than set it up. This looks like a perfect project for it.

Thanks for the post.

Nice job Fritz. Great signature.

I really like the way the board looks with the oil.

Thanks all!

Critterman – Thanks for the compliment re: the grain match, but I must admit i cut this from a 12” wide board. I too had a junky version of the utensil that was practically falling apart from years of excessive soaking, so I traced it and made about 20 blanks one day…... i have enough to give as gifts and use for the rest of my life.

Tony – Thanks for the tip on the mineral oil. Cheap is good when there’s no difference!

Fritz. A great looking cutting board. Did you tell her one side to use and one side to show?

EXCELLENT LOOKING CUTTING BOARD
THANKS FRITZ
BY THE WAY LIKE THE NAME

Beautiful board …I have a nice piece of Zebrawood but it seems to be a little soft between the dark stripes to use as a cutting board . Have you had any problems with yours yet ? How is it holding up to the knife blades ? Did you say that you used a roundover router bit on the fingerhole ? I really like the “Spoonulas” too LOL… You say tomato and I say…....
