If you can’t watch the first cut, put the old one back in? It looks good.

Never thought of making one of those to replace the ole 38 yr. board we’ve been using!!
I’ll have to remember this… for a good use of Special scrap! LOL
You did a COOL job on it…

I think that is the hardest part to watch your Cutting Board actually used for Cutting!! But, it is nice to see it being used…..............Jim

The replacement is a real step up! Next time make an end grain cutting board and you won’t have to worry about the cuts (as much)!!

I just made one of those too, but yours turned out way better. I made the front breadboard thicker than the rest of the board, thinking it’d give you a lip to grab. Turns out that it catches on the front of the drawer below it when you slide it in. D’oh.
How did you make that nice blood groove? Router with some kind of template?

Thanks, I made the groove around the top with a plunge router, 7/16” round core box bit and a guide on the router. This was my first attempt at this and I was nervous something might go wrong. A couple of practice rounds first on scrap helped. I did the same on the front under side with a 1/2” bit to make an easy finger grab. There are lots of opportunities to screw something up on these projects. NO??

My, that is handsome. A great improvement from the old one.
Good job with the routing. That is hair raising.

The board looks great. I would though recommend not using red oak (there are all sorts of issues that affect them when not properly cared for) for anything that will see meat or cutting involving liquids (fruit juices).
I made one out of red oak but it is only for cutting bread and only sees very occasional use (and is covered in beeswax and orange oil).
Looks awesome. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful…I’m with you, I would cringe at the first cut. My BF made us a really nice one out of Bamboo with a gorgeous pattern on it, and I have it laying on the counter so I can see it, but I use my old one to cut on. He says THAT’S WHAT IT’S MADE FOR, and I know it is…I just hate to “ruin” it…lol!
