Spent a LOT of sanding time this weekend, Monday morning before work, and Monday evening after dinner. I am proud to say that I have seven cutting boards on the finishing table. I put the first coat of finish on the tops. This is one of my favorite parts of the process as they really come to life. The dusty, opaque woods that have been covered with fine layers of saw dust for the past several weeks are now glossy and rich in tone. I snapped a few photos this morning before work. You are looking at the bottoms of the boards with the recessed handles.
These babies will make perfect Christmas gifts, and I will begin contacting folks that are on the official list to see if they are still interested.
