How To Fix Tearout On My Cutting Board?

Just make another piece and throw that in the scap pile. (you will use it later.) If you have to use that piece just plane it down smooth.

Thanks for the response Henry, but if possible I’d like to save it.

Hopefully you have enough length to make extra cross pieces… I would just glue up all the lengths… cross cut and discard the one/ones with the divot..
Hope this helps..

Thanks Larry. I was thinking that if I used this piece on the outside where I can see it, then maybe I could position it to where the handles are routed or something. I guess I could scrap the one section and just make my board a little shorter. Should affect it too much. Thanks for the tip.

If you will be chopping it up to make a series of “Tiles” it seems you may have only messed up one block rather than the whold thing.
