Last week I acquired a three speed furnace fan to build an air clear. The cost of the fan was a cutting board and mallet. I had several mallets on hand, so I needed to build a cutting board. Well if I am going to make one why not a couple extras. The boards are walnut and maple end grain, 12 inches wide and various lengths. finished with mineral oil. As always critic and comments welcome.

Very good Mike. Have you thought about some type of non slip feet? I hate having the cutting board slip about when going through hard stuff.From the "deep south" part of Canada

Really nice. I also keep meaning to make some to use up some odds and ends that have been lying around for a while. I have quite a lot of Walnut scraps but I was wonder what woods would NOT be good for cutting boards. e.g. I wouldnt think poplar would be a good choice and I know lots of folks use maple but does it have to be hard maple or will soft also be OK?Jon

Many fine grain woods (not open pores like Oak and Ash) would work for cutting boards. From what I hear, you just need to be careful when using walnut that the people who will use the board, or eat anything that was prepared on it does not have nut allergies.Comment
