Like many others, it would seem, I cranked out a few end-grain cutting boards for Christmas presents.
I was thinking about making some "bench cookes" out of leftover maple to give to the folks to rest the cutting boards on when in use, both to prevent slippage and to reduce the risk of the underside of the cutting board getting wet.
I thought I would cut the maple "pucks" with a large hole saw, and then use contact cement to glue some sort of non-slip material to the pucks.
Has anyone ever done something like this? I'm curious where to find a suitable thin anti-slip material, and how best to cut that material to get a clean cut (perhaps with a hole punch?).
