Large Pizza Peel for Paizano's Pizza continues...

This custom peel has now reached the glue up stage. Once the boards had been biscuited, the glue was applied and the clamp up process began. As you can see I have used several clamps. This is to ensure I get a good bonding of the edges, which creates a strong pizza peel. It will now be allowed to set overnight and checked in the morning. Once the clamps come off, I will begin the shaping process.

Large Pizza Peel for Paizano's Pizza

Work has began on a custom pizza peel for Paizano's Pizza in Baker City, Oregon. Follow Splinters exciting journey as another custom peel is created.

The wood chosen for this peel came from a nice clear piece of Birch.

Birch is chosen for its tight grain, appealing look, and durability. This peel will have a 25-26” paddle with an 18-24” handle, and will be used in the creation of Paizano's world famous 24 inch giant pizza's. OK...perhaps not world famous YET...but they will be!


The process continues with pieces of 5 inch wide birch being ripped to around 1/2 inch thick. The handle portion will end up around 3/4 inch thick and then molded to blend into the paddle.





































This photo shows the cut to size wood pieces that will be used in this process.






This shows the boards laid out to visualize what the grain will look like.














Then the edges are jointed to ensure a tight bond when they are glued together. Before the gluing begins biscuit joints are placed in the edges of each board to give more stability and strength with the final product.

















Once all this is done the peel is dry fitted together to make sure there is a nice tight fit in all the joints.

Custom Flag Display Box

As a U.S. Navy Veteran, this project is one which I am very proud to have been part of.


It holds a folded 5 foot x 9 foot American flag and is made out of popular with a poly glass front and a fiberboard backing. It is designed to be displayed on a mantle, table top or hung on a wall. It measures 4 1/2 inches deep and is 26 inches per side and is protected by a hand rubbed semi gloss poly finish.
This box was created for a client who will give it as a gift to display the flag received as a remembrance of a brave service person who served in Iraq.

It can be made out of any type of wood. If desired a base can be added and a brass nameplate, as well as a decorative routed edge.
