A friend of mine was replacing all the windows in his house and removed all the maple jam extensions. He asked if I wanted the wood. I got it all home, surface planed it all to remove the stain and ended up with some nice stock about 3/4” thick by 1 1/2 wide. My wife wanted a smaller board for our kitchen so I added in some Walnut and made the first one for her. It measures about 10” x 11”. Then using just the maple I made one for my friend for giving me the wood. Its interesting how much variation in color there was in the maple. That measures about 12’ x 13”. A lot of time sanding and I finished with many coats of mineral oil and paraffin wax mix. I did take the time to build a crosscut sled for my table saw to cut the slices.

They came out really beautiful. Very nice pattern, wood colors and finish. I’m sure your wife and friend likes them. Great work!
Have your say...
