Further Anatomy of a Cutting Board, parts 4 & 5

Because my sister so graciously asked for a cutting board of her own I decided to make up two more of them.  I think in this latest attempt I have improved, & with any luck these two chopping blocks will hold up & not come unglued.  I'm no Bob Villa when it come to woodwork so only time will tell if they hold up after much use.


Making the cuts & gluing them up.  Last time around I used a brush to glue the sides which really wasn't good for ensuring the entire surface had a good coat of glue on it.  This time the little spackling guy did the job.  


Below you see how they look through the process, from no sanding, to some sanding, to a complete sandy sanding.


Looking pretty good I do say.


This is after about five coats of salad bowl finish.



The end  product; making cauliflower chowder, it was delicious & the cutting board held up fine.
