Etsy Store Updated!

Finally got a few items finished and posted up on Etsy!  Back by popular demand is my Kids Flat Pack Plywood Rocking Chair (named “For those who like to Rock!”)suitable for ages 18 months to 5 year olds (for average sized kids).  I love this design and plan to make more of these over the summer to keep up with demand.  New to the store is the Chunky Monkey, an end grain Pine Cutting board that’s just over 2.25″ thick!  There are two versions with slightly different handholds on the ends.  Both boards feature rubber feet to help grip the counter as well as a food safe mineral oil finish.  Why Pine? Well Pine has some natural anti-bacterial properties that make it perfect for cutting board use, and by making it end grain the soft wood is plenty durable for cutting board use.  Boards come with simple maintenance instructions.

52 Create – Walnut End Grain Cutting Board

52 Create – my weekly creative output for 2011.  Shortly before our move, I was trying to use up some of my scrap wood as it wasn’t worth moving it, but I couldn’t bear to throw it away.  I offered my brother a cutting board and he gave me the dimensions so it would fit in his kitchen.  In the end I had to make it a bit narrower in order to fit through my planer, and I ran out of wood so the length was a tad shorter than planned.

I used walnut and maple for this cutting board. The long narrow strips were a last minute addition as I found an extra piece of maple and was trying to extend the length of the board.  I put some rubber feet on the bottom so it wouldn’t slide around on the counter top.  The board is coated in food grade mineral oil.
