Topic tags/keywords: tearout tear out cutting board zig-zag planer fix

Ok, so I am following McLeanVA’s blog on how to make a zig-zag cutting board, and while running my boards through the planer I got a major chunk of tearout on one piece. Now because this is a cutting board I know I want all my pieces tight and no holes or gaps for bacteria to grow, so how do I fix this? Do I sand it out and cut a piece and glue it in and then sand back flush? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Here are some pics of the piece and the tearout. Hopefully the show the spot good enough. Thanks in advance for the help!

P.S. That’s my daughters hand in the last one. She’s always trying to help. CDan’t wait until she’s old enough to make it into the shop.

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. -- Matt - http://breakingboardom.wordpress.com/
