A buddy of mine was bringing me some random lumber from his dads barn. He brought over some old black walnut that was stashed away. While I was running the board over the jointer and planer he was thumbing through a woodcraft mag that had plans for this peel in it and asked me to make it for him. Sure. I had a few scraps of curly maple that didn’t have a very pronounced figure. After I brought the peel to him he said he doesn’t even eat pizza. I then told him now is a great time to start!
Finish and adhesive: Watco BB oil and TBIII.

Very nice…What on earth is a peel?
You could also put strings on it and make a geetar.

How did you get the beveled end of the peel done? Just a belt sander..?

To get the bevel I clamped the board upright to a backing fence and tilted the table saw blade. I was really nervous on that cut….but I should have had a tall aux fence on my fence. Lesson learned.

I did the same thing for the bevel on my peel. If i were going to make more of them I would want to build some type of jig to make the cut a little less dangerous.

Very nice, but my biggest question is who doesn’t eat pizza??? Maybe thats the New Yorker in me

As an amateur pizza maker (strictly for friends and family), I am envious—nicest peel I ever saw.
Buon appetito!
