Stove Topper

Cool I can definately understand her frustration. What do do with it when you are using the stove?

I love my smooth topped stove, but this does seem like a great way to increase the counter space, and life of the top.

If I made one of these for my wife, I would make a thousand of them for my wife. I know she would put it on without turning off the burners, and turn on the burners without taking it off. I would have to include some type of “tagout/lockout system. bbqKing

Really Cool Idea!

I have a friend who dropped a frozen turkey on their stove top- this would have saved a huge repair bill.

Glenn: That’s why I was concerned about weight, and planed the board thinner. When she needs to use the stove, she just slides it in next to the refrigerator. As to putting it on when the stove is hot, I’m thankful she just waits until it’s cool! As to the frozen turkey dropped on the glass top—what’s with this trend toward granite counter tops??!!

Thay are a pain to keep clean. That’s a great solution.

That’s a great idea. If you made it from end grain—- it would have been a great cutting board. Two birds with one stone. But end grain would have been a LOT of work. This looks great. I’ll have to consider it when I get my new stove.

Great idea and wife pleaser. You did good, keeping peace and making a beautiful cutting board. mike

Another good reason for NOT throwing out scrap wood. My only problem is it’s starting to over take the shop. I guess I need to make one of these to get rid of some of it.
Good looking board. I know your wife is happy.

Len,

This is a wonderful idea!! We are in the process of remodeling our kitchen and my wife wanted a glass top stove. I was not aware of the difficulty with them but this definately gives me insight into using up some of my “scraps”.

Nice post.

Len, nice work!
