Odds and Ends


Board cut offs from past projects and odd shaped pieces from re-milling beams provides an opportunity to create small unique projects that save scrap materials from the bonfire.

The cutting board pictured is glued up scraps of Walnut and Cherry banded with maple. Once flattened the cutting board will be finished with a food safe butcher block oil.

The mallets are constructed of beech remnants from re-milling century barn beams. Two of the mallets are treated with tung oil and the other two are finished with an Elmer's wood stabilizer.

The mashers are glued up ash and walnut scraps with a oak handles. The mallets and mashers are built using common joinery techniques, a through mortise with wedges.
