Project Information
Morning!
Quick update on a project I've been wanting to try. This was also done by Johnny at Crafted Workshop https://craftedworkshop.com/blog/walnut-and-copper-cutting-board-serving-board-how-to-build-woodworking and was originally designed and sold by Meadors Made https://www.meadorsmade.com/shop-1/small-rectangle-serving-board who he based his off of.
I had the idea of running some curly maple down the middle to create some additional interest and I'm really happy with how it came out. This project looks simple enough, but there were some learning moments for me. I wanted to get through this one and figure out what is what so I can move forward with batching out a handful of them for some gifts etc.
Any feedback, questions etc. please let me know.
I do have a couple questions if anyone is able to advise. Looking for a better option on screws that would match the copper, once i hit these with some scotch brite I had to replace them as the coating came off. I'm sure it will be an issue on the others in the future if anyone tried to clean up the copper. Second, any ideas on how to get a better grip on the end grain, specifically the Walnut? Luckily the maple provide a better grip, but the walnut was spotty. Doesn't really seem to have much strength. I did end up having to fill two of the holes with Epoxy to ensure they had a better grip. Didn't know if there was a better plan for the next ones.
Thanks!
