End-grain Hickory cutting board |
My dad has a hobby farm near McAlester Oklahoma. He paid an Amish carpenter to build custom hickory cabinets for his barn kitchen. New appliances, nice space. All that's missing is a hickory cutting board for cutting and preparing food.
I've made a couple cutting boards, this is the first with a counter "lip," that allows you to rest the board flush with the edge of the counter. I think the look is nice, and it also keep the board from moving when you use it.

I think this is the last end-grain cutting board we'll do for a while. Getting these guys smooth requires a lot of sanding, especially with the hardwoods. Thanks to Schutte lumber, you can find exotic and rare hardwoods in Kansas City. Look for a walnut cutting board this fall, when our kitchen remodel is complete.
