Pizza Peel

Tony, I’m with you. If making a beautiful pizza cutter like this gets me bigger and more pieces of pizza, It’s well worth it. Really cool the way you doweled the handle together. Nice work.

Tony, I am sure that your daughter-in-law will love this gift. I think you might even get two slices. LOL!!

Great gift, compliments.

That’s a great looking pizza peel, Tony!

I like the choice of walnut, being a dark wood, since it’s going to get a nice pizza patina. The maple is a nice contrast with the walnut and adds visual appeal.

All in all, I think she’s gonna love it!

(And yes, you definitely deserve extra pizza!)

Great idea and well executed
How thick is the walnut blade please ?

Snapper1,
The blade is only 3/16” thick and has some flex to it but it’s strong and will hold a pizza with no problem. I like the thin blade pizza peels better than the thicker ones; it’s very light weight.
The handle measurements are 1 5/16” W x 3/4” and the edges are rounded over for a comfortable feel. The rivets are also made of walnut and are only for decoration.
To make the rivets I made a walnut dowel using this method. I tried using a plug cutter but I didn’t get a tight fit.

I used Titebond 3 waterproof glue for this project.
Hope this helps!

Congratulations on your No. !. this project really deserves it.
That really is a beautiful colour combination and a great job. I reckon you will get at LEAST an extra slice for your efforts.
Good to see you making stuff again.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Awesome job Tony, That’ll be a fine addition to any kitchen!

Love it, has a simple elegance to it.

I made a peel for a friend, but it was far too heavy for use. For your thin blade, it looks like you possibly glued up 3 boards to make it that wide? Did you glue up thin pieces to start with, or were they thicker and planed down to the final width? I need to follow your method next time.
