I needed some shop time today to relax and clear my head, so I rummaged around and found a scrap of Cherry. Nice color, but not enough to do much with. So I made a cutting board with bread board ends and through-mortises. The mortises aren’t perfect, but they are snug and overall pretty nice.. I planed it all nice and smooth, broke the edges with a block plane and rubbed in a coat of (food safe) Tried & True Oil/Wax finish. I’ll give it another coat tomorrow while I clean up the mess in the shop and leave it to dry for a week. It looks nice and didn’t take long to do.
