The Woodshop Shed

Simple small bandsawn cutting boards

Furnished content.

As you can see, this is not a new project, or a fancy one.I would not have thought to post it except for the fact that my wife tells me a least twice a month how much she likes these simple little things.A couple of years ago, she had asked for small cutting boards for Christmas, and I said I would make her some… but Christmas Eve I realized that I had not. So I went out to the shop and found a little board of pecan that I had sliced from firewood on my bandsaw a few years earlier. Through the planer a few times and across the jointer (so they will stand on edge), ;then I penciled a cut line freehand and took it to the bandsaw. The ends I radiased on the bandsaw just using my hand as a pivot. A little trip to the oscillating spindle sander, a quick roundover and Merry Christmas.What the photos show is a couple years of daily use, including a recent strawberry.It's easy and she likes them.-Paul
