I've seen several selling cutting boards at shows so when I spotted the hardware at Woodcraft, I decided a cheese slicing board may be the ticket for a new item to offer. When my first ones sold out in less that 2 hours, and Woodcraft showed it out of stock, I started searching the web and found the virtually identically ones at cheeseslicing.I'm betting it's the addition of the cheese slicer that's making the sale. Not taking anything away from the boards though!
They are any combination of the following: walnut, mahogany, cherry, maple, pecan and red heart. After sanding through 220, they are finished with a butcher block conditioner made of food grade mineral oil, vitamin E, beeswax and carnauba wax.Nice Mannie! Good move. What woods are in there? Do you coat them with any oils or anything? I'm not a woodworker yet.

I'm getting $40 for them (maybe not enough????)Curious how much your getting for them in your market? They look great!
Titebond IIWhat glue do you use?
I'm guessing Titebond 3 or possibly an epoxy?
From the info I gathered, either one will work....I use titebond 3 as it's recommended for water resistance.
None that I'm aware of.Very nice. No warping problems on the non-laminated ones?
Mannie, when cutting the groove for the cutting wire how did you go about getting the 1/16" groove in front tapering to a 5/8" groove in back? Purpose built jig?

I used the same instructions I used on the Woodcraft slicer. It says to cut a 3/8 groove across the board. If you cut a groove 5/8" deep and your board is 3/4" thick, that leaves only 1/8" left on that end.Mannie, when cutting the groove for the cutting wire how did you go about getting the 1/16" groove in front tapering to a 5/8" groove in back?
