I just finished these 5 cheese slicing boards, 2 are Cherry, 2 are Maple, and 1 is Hickory, I especially like the Hickory.the groove and hole must be cut accurately square to each other in order for them to work properly. A fun and easy build, may try some laminated ones next. bought the handles at cheeseslicer.com , finished with mineral oil and beeswax.
thanks for looking.

Very nice boards with clean lines and attractive woods.
Nice thing about this hardware is if you make a mistake, drill a hole a little crooked, cut the slot off by a little bit, the bar can be bent some to allow the right correction so the slicer work the way it should. I started building them for Christmas gifts later this year but so many friends are buying them up to also give at Christmas. I’ve sold over 40 in the last 2 months.
I have 2 craft shows to do in Nov and I’m gonna try to take about 30 boards to sell. I’ve never seen the cheese slicers at any craft show yet and I think they will sell great. They are just a piece of scrap wood, a $6 slicing kit and an hours total labor. Been getting $25 for them. I think that’s reasonable.

My family keeps breaking the hand-held slicer I bought.
I think one of these is the answer.
Great job Smitty.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking cheese boards,,One question, how do you remove any cheese that might become lodged in the saw kerf, maybe some kind of “Pick stick”?

to clean the slot, use a pipe cleaner, I think a stiff one would work best, I bought some from Walmart, and they are too flimsy and too soft.
Dave, I got them at cheeseslicer.com
thanks everyone for all the great comments.
