| Registered User Jr. Member  |  Cutting boards for gifts.... I have been working on a few cutting boards this week. One for my sisters birthday, one is for a co-workers wife for their anniversary and one for mom just because I thought she needed one. This is my first attempt at cutting boards. I was unsure of how to finish so I went to Rockler and the gentleman suggested Kerf's Wood Cream for the finish. www.kerfswoodcream.com 3 cutting boards in the finish sanded stage  Sisters cutting board for her birthday - Purple Heart and Curly Maple  Coworkers cutting board for his wife on their anniversary - Oak and Walnut  Mom's cutting board just because she is mom - Walnut, Curly Maple and Cherry

| Registered User Sr. Member | Those look great! Well done! You might want to look into something called "Salad Bowl Finish" that's put out by General Finishes or good 'ol mineral oil. There's a video series called The Wood Whisperer that's out there and in two of the videos he works on a very cool end-grain cutting board like the checkerboard one you've got in your second photograph. In the videos, Marc covers everything from finishing to glue up very well. Part 1: http://thewoodwhisperer.com/?p=89 Part 2: http://thewoodwhisperer.com/?p=93 It's a neat podcast that I watch regularly.

Nice bunch of cutting boards! I guess it's a way to use up scrap (leftovers)...   Mineral Oil is the best way, IMHO, to finish them... | |
