MAKE YOUR OWN CUTTING BOARDS

7

INTRODUCTION

Ask a woodworker if they’ve made a cutting board

and nearly all of them will say they have in the past

and still do to this day. For many it’s their first

woodworking project. For others it’s their go-to

project when they’re looking for an excuse to get

into the shop. Every kitchen needs a cutting board

and nearly every shop is equipped to make them.

Cutting boards can be as simple as a single board

or contain dozens of pieces with multiple species

and shapes. Some require very few tools and others

require a whole shop full of tools. The beauty of

cutting boards is that no matter what your skill level

or how many tools you have, you can make cutting

boards—beautiful, useful cutting boards, to boot.

I got started in making cutting boards a few years

ago when I was getting ready for a local craft show.

When trying to sell my handmade items at shows I

encourage potential buyers to touch them and pick

them up. I want them to feel the quality and weight.

Selling cutting boards at craft fairs can be a

great way to make some extra cash to buy that

new tool or to get some of the fancy wood you’ve

had your eye on. Making cutting boards can also

be a great way to make handmade gifts for your

friends and family. Or it might just be a good way

to transform scrap wood into something useful

for your own kitchen.

Whether you’re an experienced woodworker or

just starting out, I hope you find a new technique

in this book that you can add to your skill set. More

importantly I hope you can find inspiration in the

shapes and designs and use it to come up with your

own style. You are free to make any of the cutting

boards found in this book and sell them for profit.

Who the heck am I? I’m a full-time blogger and

YouTuber on a mission to inspire, entertain, and

encourage. I believe everyone has the ability to be

creative if they search for it within themselves.
