That scraps board is begging to be a charcuterie tray.

My wife requested a charcuterie board for NYE and I had a lovely slab of Live Oak that was the right size.

I've be absolutely loving wood working designing/building my sons crib so I'm going to be doing projects endlessly going forward probably.

Making the actual boards took an hour or two of actually work and 2 days of time. Basically you glue the boards on edge, let that dry, plane it flat, cut it into strips and then do another glue up with the end grain sticking up. Once that's dry you plane it again and cut it to size.

The real time sink is sanding. End grain it the hardest part of the board and maple is a very hard wood. It took like 4 hours of sanding to get each board cleaned up.

Great chance for a podcast and a few videos. I don't mind the sanding :lol:

How are you planing? Using your router?
I don't mind long periods of sanding either, theres something about it that just brings me peace. Got plenty of audio books and podcasts at the ready.

You could setup a simple router sled with pole clamps which would work perfectly for final flattening of the board.

Damn son you've got the fancy shit!
I've got a decent router so maybe I'll try that method sometime when I need it.
