This was my smallest project yet but i had alot of fun. I finally purchased a thickness planer and thought this was a good project to test it out on. Headed over to Highland Hardwoods and grabbed some Black Walnut and Hard Maple. I don't have a table saw so I used my Festool MFT/3 table and tracksaw to rip everything down to size. It was easy enough but made me yearn for a tablesaw .
Glue up and everything else was a breeze compared to the 10ft long cherry bartop I did and 5x4ft Sipo tabletop. I made the decision to go with General Finishes Salad Bowl finish on this. Man there are a ton of opinions on finish, sheesh my head was spinning. This was my "toe dip" into cutting boards. Next will be an end grain beast.
Final dimensions are 22.5" x 12" x 1.25"
Finished Product
Ready for that sticky icky
