What cutting board do you use?

Pic related is mine, I made it out of scrap maple and walnut.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 02:00:18 2017 No.9611851 is it a bunch of little pieces glued together?

>>9611851
I'll tell you how. Imagine putting together long pieces in alternating colors and glueing them together until the equal the size you want. Now imagine cutting them across about and inch thick and moving each segment up about an inch so that it looks like a checker. Then glue the newly cut inch thick segments and cut off the ends.

I weighed it at 11.4 lbs. It's about 2 inches thick.

I can flip it if I want. I just have to peel the rubber feet off and stick new ones on the other side. Don't know why I would ever flip it though. They can't be exposed to moisture for too long because the grain wicks up moisture, which can spell disaster if it's sitting flat on a puddle of water and has no airspace around it to dry. As nice as these end grain cutting boards are to cut on they do need some special handling.

I approve this thread!

>tfw still waiting for my cherry logs to season before I can start a butcher's block table and cutting board

What Tightbond did you use? I'm thinking 3 for the cutting board and 2 for the table.

You should use an anti-skip foam rubber mesh. Most dollar stores in the USA sell it in big rolls for super cheap. Just cut it to size. You can wash them separately too.

Until I make my own eng-grain cutting boards, I'm using these thin flexible cutting boards with this stuff >>9615116 under it. They are actually really nice because you can curl it up to pour the chopped up stuff into whatever container.

You guys should soak the wood in sea salt for a few days before making it into a cutting board.

It makes the wood much more water resistant and it also kills a good number of bacteria by itself (although never a substitute for soap).

Are there any difference between a wooden and a plastic cutting board?
I've been using a wooden cutting board for about 2 years now and the sides has rotted a bit but I still use it because it works.

Very nice anon ... keep them well oiled, with mineral or linseed oil and never store them while still wet and they will last you the rest of your life.

But ... TWO cutting boards that don't even match? One good board, a cheap plastic one for chicken and the rest spent on something else, like a decent knife or a whetstone might have made more sense ...

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 30 03:03:27 2017 No.9620863 >>9620097 I wouldn't use that board any more, anon. No idea what that black really stuff is, but mold and fungus do form carcinogenous substances, and they spread tons of spores, into the air you breathe for instance..
