One of a kind cutting board...

[blissful]

This is from a local hobbyist on FB, a cutting board. $120 13x21x1.75 inches. If I was still looking for a cutting board, I'd consider this one. It's so unique and gorgeous.

looks like it should be on display, not all cut up and mangled from use!!!

If I paid 120 bucks for a cutting board I wouldn't be able to afford anything to cut on it!

That's awesome. We have a gifted board we only use for bread. One side is cutting, the other is for display.

My youngest brother, now deceased, was a musician and a FABULOUS cook. This cutting board would've been right up his alley. Beautiful, and I like Frank Z's idea of using the undesigned side for cutting. It would be a shame to chop up all those lovely keys.

Beautiful! I'd pay that for it. Where would I put it?? My big one is 18x24x1.75 so maybe I could just stack them on top of each other. It would be a nice fit! Then the next one, and the next, and so on and so forth

That's clever, and frankly a lot of work for only 120 bucks. I'm sure he has a chunk just in materials.

That's what I thought too, it's a lot of work for $120. It has 4 feet on the bottom too. Made from edge grain Cherry with Maple and Walnut keys.
I wanted to buy it for one of my sons but my husband doesn't think he'd really like it or appreciate it....I don't know.

I can see owning a board like that if you were into playing piano or organ.

There's a cook on youtube who pushes her stuff and uses gorgeous cutting boards made from tree rounds. Beautifully finished. She's always carrying it over to the stove to brush in the ingredients. It looks too heavy to me. Maybe that's why she does it.

She has nice looking handmade wooden utensils, too.

Her recipes are good and the video short. So I can put up with her commercial.

If there are feet on the underside, he cannot use the "off side" for cutting. That is a drawback. It is beautiful.

 

[pacanis]

Good point.

 

[dragnlaw]

large enough to cut between the feet, no?

I mean, you know, if you really, really want it.

Are you offering to buy me one? I can message you my shipping address. If I put my address in an open discussion, then everyone would send me one, and I only have a 612 sq ft apartment.

 

[dragnlaw]

Yeah but with at least two you could take the feet off of one of them!

I've done a lot of woodwork in my day - and 'special stuff.'

I've always been very pleased to see wear&tear&nicks&cuts . . . it shows me the giftee is using and enjoying the work/object/doohickey . . .

to find it stuffed in a closet, never used, pristine condition . . . not what I had in mind when I put the time and effort into making it for them.

I would like my son, if he liked it, to use it, knife marks and all, for years and years. I see...that you are saying the 'undesigned side'. It's solid, the back looks the same as the front.
If it was used for say 5 years, then sanded, then oiled again, it would look nearly new. I would hope he'd use it until he was an old man. (he's 35)
