My first cutting boards

By mwschilling, member May 01, 2012

I understand everyone has done cuting boards, but these are my first. I did the Walnut and Mahogany board first then did the checked one with Walnut, Cherry and Bocote using the CB design program.

Looks Nice, what did you finish it with? I made my first board and finished it was a combination of salad bowl varnish and mineral spirits and it still has a smell one year later.

That Bocote really sets it off; looks great. Was the finish mineral spirits or mineral oil? (Mineral oil is what most people use.)

Sorry, it was pure mineral oil, sold as Butcher Block oil at Woodcraft.
