Unvarnished Truths is a blog depicting my attempts to write about things I make, and about things that interest me. Sometimes I may try to explain why this is so, or why something was built a certain way as opposed to another, but usually I am not successful. I think about the best that readers can hope for is to be mildly entertained.
Cutting Boards and Such
Posted 13th September 2014 at 02:55 PM by Harry
Inspired by the unfortunate circumstance, posted on the forum, of an expensive bamboo cutting board splitting apart, I thought I would cast all modesty aside and post a picture of my cutting board, and a related project. This is the maple and walnut cutting board in my kitchen. It's been there 10 or 15 years...the exact number escapes me.
This looks like a cutting board, and could be used as one, but since it's only ¼" at the back, tapering to about 3/32" at the front, it isn't really intended for that. This is for removing take-and-bake pizzas from the oven, hence the long handle. It's much more suitable than two relatively narrow spatulas. I've made quite a few of these...they're very popular as gifts.
I'm still working on this: the two front corners will be rounded off, and the handle will become thicker towards the end for easier grasping. The restaurant cabinet interrupted my focus a little bit.
