A Pastry Board:
“I love baking, but my table has a seam in it, and when I roll out pie crusts, it messes up what I am doing, all my cutting boards are too small. I want a BIG cutting board about 18” x 24”. I want a PASTRY board. Oh and could you make it beautiful?”
Worth the Effort:
This project has hidden joinery no one would ever see if it weren’t documented here. Pictures can not capture the true beauty of curly maple and curly cherry.
With an oil and wax finish, the natural beauty of the wood stands out. It all starts at the lumber mill, being able to see though the dust an saw marks, selecting the right boards, and at the cost of attention to detail, sharp and tuned tools, and a few cold nights, you end up with more than one huge smile.
