Custom Maple and Oak Pull-out Cutting Board

This custom slide out cutting board was created for a client to replace their old one.

It measures in at 5/8 inch thick, 17 7/8 inches wide, and 24 inches long.  I used hard maple for the center cutting surface and oak for the breadboard ends.  The ends purpose are twofold, one to add to the look and two to help keep the board flat.

Once the board was finished I apply several coats of a food grade mineral oil to help preserve it.


Several coats of food grade mineral oil drying and it is ready to be shipped.

Custom finger groove on bottom side to aid in pulling out of cabinet slot.

Glued up and ready for edges to be rounded over, finger grooves cut, and sanded.

Each peel is individually shaped and molded to meet specific requirements for each peel.
