    I was just going to order some off that new fangled world wide web, but i figured i could ask here. Would anyone have any walnut/maple (or similar) scraps they would be willing to part with for a modest price? I'm going for a 12x18 sized board :occasion1

    Cutting Board Finish?

    I know this has only been asked a few hundred times here but I can't remember what your supposed to use for cutting board finish. Heck, I've even made and finished a few boards in the past. I know we have a few pros in the ranks so I though I'd throw the question out one more time. My BIL...
