Custom Hard Maple Cutting Board Slide Out With Oak Pull

This large cutting board is on its way to Vacaville, California to its new home. This client is doing a major redo in his house. After working on updating the cabinets in the kitchen, he decided to also do the cutting board slideouts. During a google search he found me and placed this order.

The board measures in at 1/2 inch thick x 25 inches wide x 23 7/16 inch deep and was made out of hard maple. The breadboard front of the board was made using red oak 1/2 inch thick. 1 1/2 inches wide and 27 inches long. The extra two inches was to keep the board from sliding into the slot. Both sides of the oak got finger grooves routed into them for ease of pulling it out during use.

Custom Four Person Dark Walnut Box Style Cribbage Board

This custom box style cribbage board was made for a client in Massachusetts as a birthday present for their brother.  The chosen wood was dark walnut and they wanted me to use a piece of wood with a lot of grain pattern in it and then top it with a hand rubbed satin finish to allow the grain to show through.  I think the wood I chose meets that request well and turned out awesome.

Dimensions for this project were 16 inches long x 8 inches wide and 2 inches thick. The bottom section was the same size and had pockets created to hold a deck of cards and the custom metal pegs that come with each custom board.

Finished top of the board with engraved initials in bottom right corner.
