wave endgrain cutting board

Looks really funky Moshe. I’m not sure if I would trust myself with a sharp knife on that board though. I think I might go cross-eyed and cut myself.

Reasonable under the circumstances…over all a nice board..

you don’t like it???? baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaawawawa!

Moshe, That is a striking item…. have you tried that Zinsser Bulls Eye shellac that is found in Miter 10? Speeds up finishes, great as an undercoat for cat laquer, great for anything wood.

i always look at it an wonder if i should buy it. most of the time i don’t like the exp date too much. i’ll give it a try on my next fallingwater lamp

Moshe, it isn’t a finish as such-it just makes things much better-like an extra good under coat. And if you spray catalysed furniture lacquers it is magic as an undercoat.

Ouch! Very appropriate gift in both respects,for the father and the son. Painful memories!

It’s very cool! I can just see the USA-ians now trying to figure out how to get the stars into the upper left hand corner on their version.

I think you would really have something if you worked some stars into the upper left corner…. it would look like a flag in the wind!

A cutting board for a circumcision is cleaver. Very nice looking project.

It looks great . Looks like it’s waving right off the counter. As for the finish you can use any finish for cutting boards just so long as it’s dry before you use it. I use a pure tung oil it absorbs better . Have you tried end grain bamboo for cutting boards it is the finest I ‘ve found for countertops and cutting boards . Shellac is a great product even if it is exspired it better because it’s thicker . I even take the lid off and let it sit for days because the thicker it is the better finish I found.

OUCH!! Cutting boards and penile snipping? Oh the irony is killing me!!! Nice work tho!!!!!!

-- I have metal in my neck but wood in my blood!!

So the board was made to guide the circumcision procedure. Interesting. This could be a lucrative business: designer circumcisions made possible by the CB design, and they get to keep the CB after. I love variation designing, and yours is right up there. Nice work!

Philip, I don’t spray…. no room for a spray booth. anyways, on cutting boards you want the finish to be soft, not hard like shellac. do you apply it with brush? My Fallingwater lamp is walnut and I never managed to get smooth finish from walnut (well i managed once, with tung oil and multiple layers of wet sanding but i am not going to repeat this anytime soon. took almost six months to finish)

Moshe, you can spray, brush or wipe it on.

really unusual purposes, but extremely beautiful creation!
great, Moshe
