hi guys and gals.

Long time lurker, not frequent poster. But i do a fare amount of wood working.

I've recently thought of making a cutting board out of a burl. Full disclosure, this burn is from my wifes grandad, who is now deceased. SO i don't want to screw it up.

I'm planning on making a jig, and using a plunge router to even out the bottom and top, before sanding.

My worries are if the rings in the middle will chip out over time or get gunk stuck in there.

It's been in my garage for years, so i'm in no rush, but don't want to ruin it. I also have a plan b to make a massive family crib board, but just think it would look awesome as a cutting board.

any hints, thoughts, suggestions?

thanx
richard

im with the others i wouldn't use it for a cutting board,the natural edge will make it hard to clean and it might not hold up to heavy cutting abuse.
