For sale: handmade chopping board

[nephilim]

I do indeed do paypal. If you allow until Friday when it is physically made (well I will make a few...even if you change your mind by that point I will have a spare). I can then get it packaged and ready to send if that is acceptable for you?

[omegabrock]

im on your schedule lol. just message me when you're ready

[nephilim]

Ok well I will flatten the bamboo when the kids are in bed. I get the centre pieces of wood from my neighbour so could be oak, ash, maple, birch, Elm, alder, yew, sycamore or hazel...depends on him as he is a forester.

[omegabrock]

does the core really make a difference? i mean, those are all hard woods arent they? i would imagine that would be the biggest difference if it was hard or soft...but i don't know much or else i'd probably make my own lol

[nephilim]

Well the difference really is in the colouring. Lol. It would take a while to go through to the centre. I've cleaved meat, sliced meat, chopped vegetables, scrapped and scratched from the slicing, and brushed it with a butcher scrubbing brush and it's barely made a scratch to the surface.

I cannot oil it however as it won't be shipped as it classes as hazardous to the royal mail (which is a pain) but will get it made for Friday.

I shape the centre piece with my axe also, then use my draw knife when it's all glued and give a quick sand down. Any final touches are down to whoever.

If I didn't sell my soldering iron I would burn in some designs as well.

good looking, nice work.

Sounds great. My lady will have something homemade from England as s gift. Thanks Neph.

[nephilim]

So you'll take one as well Deebo? No worries, will get that sorted for you also. I will see if I can get it sent through work as it may be cheaper on postage (no guarantee)

[nephilim]

Ok...2 boards made. Need sanding but will do that tomorrow ready to ship tomorrow.
