Live-edge cutting/serving Boards

A couple of years ago, I was gifted a walnut log, about 42 inches long and 12 inches in diameter. I had it sawed into 1 inch boards and stored the lumber, stacked with stickers in the rafters of my garage. After two years the lumber had dried sufficiently to work. I managed to get a number of cutting/serving boards and lots of smaller projects from the free material.

I am pleased to have made so many beautiful pieces from this material that may have ended up in a landfill or burned in someone’s fireplace.

The boards have been planed and bandsawn into shape, drilled and sanded to 220, and then treated with food grade mineral oil. I added a decorative strip of maple on a few of the smaller boards.
