Obligatory Beginner Cutting Board Gifts

[John Hulett]

Hey John.......what's that big chunk of lumber in the background of the pix.

Last Christmas, I made a Train Table for my then two-year-old so he could play with this Thomas the Tank Engine toys. (I thought I had posted pics here, but I can't seem to find the thread.)

Anyway, I wanted the legs to be 2x2 poplar that went up from the floor through the top of the table. That's the left-over stock. I used it as a caul to give me some downward pressure to help keep everything as flat as possible when I glued up the boards.

My first cutting board was in the outline of a pig. It was a two piece maple board.
It lasted for well over 40 years.

Solution. Take one and saw in two and give her parents a cheese serving board.

I still like making cutting boards... especially out of sacraps. Your look great!
