Cheese Slicing Boards
My 90-year-old Mother loves cheese but her hands are getting pretty weak and shaky when using a knife. Also, the fact that she could NEVER cut a straight piece helped me decide to make her a slicer so she could get a better hold with a little more torque. It worked great for her, and she also uses it for slicing hard boiled eggs for recipes, etc. I made both a small and larger one for her to choose, she naturally went for the "pretty " one. These two kits were from WoodCraft. Another supplier had a style that would probably work but admitted at the time they did not have wire backups for sale which I think they now have. The smaller one is out of Padauk, the larger out of Walnut. The kits have excellent instructions with them.

Just imagine all the anguish you could have save her if you made this 80 years ago...
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

I think there is a company in Tennesse that sells the handle and the wires. Just don't remember the name.

That's when you know a gift is a success!
Eric - Thanks, WoodCraft carries the wires for these now in various packaging.
BB1 - That's also the way I look at it.
