Butcher Block Cutting Board Butcher Block Cutting Board Butcher Block Cutting Board Click the pictures to enlarge them

A friend of mine is a fantastic chef and restaurant owner in Kansas City. He and I were talking about cutting boards and I told him I’d make him one. This cutting board is made of black walnut. It’s roughly 20”x25”x2.75”. I treated it with mineral oil only. No stains or finishes. I put Brusso brass feet on the bottom. It was fun to make. I’m thinking of doing a bunch of them at once because production wise this is an easy task. When it’s a one-off, this takes a great deal of time. I’m amazed at how many board feet it takes to do one of these. Costly, but worth it.

Very nice Thomas! The little feet are a nifty touch! Almost a shame to whack the heck out of it with a chef’s knife! lol. :)

This is a beautiful cutting board, Thomas. I agree with Marc’s comment about cutting on this board.

Nice job and thanks for the post.

Nice looking board!

I’m curious about your comment regarding how many bf it took to make. I’m figuring about 12 or so?

When he ends up on the food channel, you’ll get your name out there. It is a nice addition to any kitchen.
