Nice looking cutting boards. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Really Nice Boards!! What type of finish did you use?

And, Welcome to Lumberjocks. Looking forward to more of your projects.

Very nice boards. Every time I look at some ones cutting board I see something different to do when I make one. Yours look great.

tasty!very nice. what was your finish?

Thanks Guys, I really love the friendly and acceptable atmosphere here. It reminds me of the VW scene. I used to have a bug, and everybody (well mostly, anyways) was always willing to give a thumbs up or willing to help you in any way, shape, or form…Lumberjocks really reminds of those nostalgic days… Anyways, I only use beeswax w/mineral oil. I will put 2 to 3 coats of plain mineral oil, then use a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil to help seal the pores and create a more water resistant finish. Sometimes, I use a real thick paste mix of wax/oil. Then, the next day, when the oil is all absorbed and I have a nice coat of wax I polish it with my bench grinder/polisher. Although, I’m not completely convinced it’s needed. If I sand the board to 600 before oiling, it seems I get the same look, sheen wise. Still experimenting with different techniques. Thanks again.

Very nice boards.
I have made one similar to the last one – “with legs”, but my is sagging in
the middle. Have you done something to keep it flat?

Yes, after I glued the “legs”, mine was “sagging” too. What I ended up doing was using two clamps underneath the board from leg to leg (one on each end). I clamped just until it was bowed the other way. left it over night and havn’t had a problem since. How thick is your middle section? I made mine 1&1/2” and I don’t think I would go any thiner.

I can’t believe I missed this project when it was first posted. I really like the walnut one. They are kind of addicting aren’t they?
