Vintage Bread boards.
As in, the things bakers used to make bread on or sometimes slide dough in to the oven with (also called a 'peel'). Now the things people serve pizza on, or just hang on their kitchen wall.
In the photos below, I get the reason for the two cross grain pieces of wood. They keep the boards flat but also allow for some expansion/contraction. What I can't figure out is just how they are attached to the wood. I don't see any hardware or pegs. Nothing comes through the back side. I can't imagine they'd glue them in a dado, and a sliding dovetail seems way to labor intensive. What am I missing?
Thanks for your thoughts.
