For the past month, I’ve
been working on making a cutting board for my Mum for Christmas. I started by
cutting a bunch of rectangular maple blocks and gluing them together in a
stepping pattern.
Once all the blocks were in
place, I trimmed it down on the table saw so it was a nice rectangle shape.
After a good sanding, I
routered 2 ¼” grooves around the edges.
Finally it got 3 coats of
butcher block conditioner. That stuff really deepens the colour and makes it
look rich.
And now we know: the product
for wood boards and counters is fun to use, it’s got the consistency of hair
gel and you just rub it in
