Good day to all!
In this article, the author suggests that you and I make a very useful thing, which you can’t do without in the kitchen, this item is called a cutting board. A cutting board is mainly used for cutting food during cooking, or we just use it as a stand for hot pans, in general, everyone uses it in their own way. Next, the author will describe the entire manufacturing process, which will be accompanied by a detailed photo report.
To make a cutting board we need:
Tool:
- drill;
- electric jigsaw;
- file;
- sandpaper;
- roulette;
- angular ruler;
- a pencil.
Material:
- oak board;
- protective oil.
Since the cutting board must be strong and serve us for a very long time, we use an oak board as a blank. You can buy this wood material in one of the special stores. The width of the board used by the author is 20 cm.
I will give what we need in the future.
We start by grinding the surface of the board, as the wood is solid, and we have patience.
Next, using a ruler, mark the future outline of the board.
The author decided to use this form.
We take electric jigsaws, and along the drawn contour we cut out the curly part.
It should be something like this.
So that the board can be hung on a hook or carnation, we drill a through hole on the handle of the board.
Then you need to take a file and use it to process the edge of the board.
After processing with a file, we take sandpaper with fine grain and pass it over the entire surface, smoothing and rounding sharp edges.
When finished grinding the part, take a rag and wipe the board from wooden dust.
Next, we take a special oil called Belinka, which is non-toxic and can come in contact with food, pour it into a container.
We take a brush and evenly cover the board with a thick layer of oil, then leave the board for a while so that the oil is absorbed.
After 15 - 20 minutes, you can wipe the board from the rest of the oil, for this we use a napkin.
The surface of the board should acquire a more pronounced color - the texture of the wood will appear.
Next you need to leave the board lying for a day.
After 24 hours have passed, you need to apply a second layer of oil, let the wood dry completely.
As a result of all the actions, we get such a ready-to-use cutting board.
That’s probably all. If you carefully use this product - the board will last a very, very long time.
Thank you all for your attention.
