I was up north at a friends cabin this weekend. The weather was cool and rainy so we spent most of the weekend in the shop. My friend has a great wood shop where I put together my first batch of cutting boards.
I wanted to make a huge board for trimming briskets, something I have always wanted. I used Brazilian teak, Cherry, black walnut, Purple Heart wood and oak. This board is 20 X 30. I cut a juice groove in all of the boards too.
Here we are lining up all the sections of the boards and applying the glue.
Running it through the jointer to make sure the board is square.

Groove is cut!
I also made some smaller boards that are 20 X 15. I threw some oak in those board to add a little more color to the mix. Also, a few tiny boards for limes and what not.
After everything was done, I added some Boos Block Oil to all the boards and let them sit over night. That wood really popped once I cleaned them and oiled them up. The brisket board is a beast and it should be perfect.
