Pecan Charcuterie Board
I brought this piece of pecan home from Arizona and it was so warped from corner to corner that if I tried to flatten one side to run it through the planer, it would have finished at 1/4" thick. SO, I cut it in 3 pieces, flattened each one individually and the glued them together and planed the new flatter board and it finished at 3/4" x 12 1/4" x 18". It is finished with Walrus Oil cutting board wax.

Very attractive color of wood, worth the effort to save it.

Thanks, Eric. This is the darkest pecan wood I have ever gotten from the mill and it sure moved a lot. This last lot of trees came from California!

Ahhh, expat nuts!
If it’s from California, it’s defiantly nuts. Check your wallet after you work with it…

Pecan is a beautiful wood. Great Colour and Grain.
All it needs is some Salami and Cheese and a 6 pack of VB.
