A Late Christmas Present for LOML

[PeteM]

I was supposed to have this done for Christmas but didn't quite make it. :dontknow:

Anyhow - It's done now and Carol likes it! :eusa_danc

1" thick, Maple, custom fit to the sink. I made a template of the sink opening and cut a rabbit around the bottom so it doesn't scoot around.

Pete,

Very nicely done. What kind of glue do you use? How about the finish on the wood?

 

[DavidF]

Nice!! I like that a lot.

 

[RandyJ]

Great idea Pete! Im sure LOYL will enjoy using that.:icon_thum

How did you make the template?

 

[PeteM]

Ray - Glue is Titebond II - Finish is a good soak in Mineral oil.

Randy - I just took some cardboard and fit it to the inside of the sink. Then I transfered that to the bottom of the board and added 1/2" all around to get the outside shape. Bandsaw the outside and then cut the rabbit to the inside line.

Thanks - pete

Great job Pete, I can see why she likes it! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap I'm sure loml would like one of those as well, might be a good first cutting board project if I ever get caught up on other projects. :gar-La;:gar-La;

That's a great cutting board! I'm guessing you have a disposal in that sink? I wish we had one!

 

[Canuck]

Nice idea, Pete!!!

Looks like a nice custom fit and extremely functional.
