It’s not entirely a brag thread, because I didn’t do the wood work myself. I wish I could do this, and I know some of you do, which I applaud.
I had a few slabs of black walnut I was going to make a dining table out of, but I didn’t dry them right, they warped, and I gave them to a friend who made me this. End grain board, wife thinks it’s too big, I think it’s perfect. Had him build it to dim so it fits in our sink. 38”x16.5”x2.5” Can’t wait to put it to use   Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I really need to listen to people and sell the ones I make out of offcuts and scrap.
Looks nice OP, kitchen looks more nice. |

I don't think a cutting board can be too big, that just means the kitchen is too small.

That’s beautiful, but probably weighty for women and children. How the hell does that fit in the sink? Like as a plug for the countertop.
I like it though. |

If the cutting board is to big, you need bigger meat

Beautiful. Only thing that comes to mind to me would be a juice trough (don't know what that's actually called in cutting board terms) leading into a hole so you can scrape scraps off into the sink if necessary.

End grain, those must have been some huge logs! Last walnut I cut was pretty big and as soon as the saw started up multiple guys showed up wondering what was going to happen to it once it was on the ground. (Just looked again, I see the cuts and bonding, excellent work).
That is a beautiful cutting board, I would have a hard time actually using it. Not to mention that I'm sure one of our boys would put it in the dishwasher. OP. Your cabinets look exactly like ones my wife and I had and maybe its the light but the finish started to come off of ours and it looked just like that. We called the manufacture and they replace all the doors and drawers no charge. |

My biggest cutting board has a groove around the perimeter on one side but not the other, so you can flip it over depending on whether you want the groove or not. |

@blacktaco maybe I’m missing something, but how do you get it back out of the sink once it’s in? I read that as the board fits the cutout in your counter for the under mount sink, is it is small enough one length or width wise so that you can get fingers under it and lift it?

Quote History@DieselEngineer @FuriousYachtsman I just realized BenchMade is in my backyard, and my Grandpa who gave me the gun used to live in Vanport during the war (same general area as Les). How is my Colt pistol hacked up? ETA - never mind, Les was cutting up guns because he didn’t like guns. That’s why we don’t support BenchMade around here lol. |
