MAKE YOUR OWN CUTTING BOARDS

Live Edge

Start with a slab.

This 11"-wide walnut slab was rough cut

with a chainsaw (and from a tree cut down

at my childhood home—it has been air

drying for a few years). Remove all the

bark using a chisel and mallet but leave the

natural, curvy edge of the sapwood.

Begin the flattening process.

Because this slab is twisted to the point

where it won’t sit flat on the planer bed, I

take down the high spots with a handplane

until the wobble has been removed. This

may or may not be necessary with your slab.
