A Big Cutting Board

[Tim M Tuttle]

My cousin asked me for a big cutting board that two people could use at the same time. It ended up 36 x 16 and probably weighed 25 pounds. After a few months of nothing but shop projects it was nice to get back to making something for someone that will hopefully be in their home for years to come.

The board is made of walnut, padauk and yellowheart. First time using any of those species. LOVED working with yellowheart. Smooth as glass after going through the jointer and planer. Padauk had a little bit of tearout going on. Overall, fun project and the best part was the finish was super easy.
