Asymmetrical serving board

  • What is your project?
    • my project is a small serving board
  • How did you make it?
    • We cut many pieces of cherry and walnut ignorer to create our design
  • What do you like most about your project?
    • I like the non standard design of my board. Most people chose to create or use symmetrical cutting boards. I also like that I created a large chamfer on the Bottom edge to create a floating look.
  • What was challenging about this project?
    • it was challenging to decide what points to use so the grain would align nicely.
  • What would you change about the project if you did it again?
    • I would cut the chamfer to be on the other side. it looks fine but I think it could be better.
  • What is your plan for it now that it's done?
    • it will live in the kitchen and be used from time to time with guests.

Design Tech Cutting Board

By
 💫💖My Amazing Cutting Board💖💫 By: Olivia 💕💝😍👅 Our project for Design Tech was to make a cutting board. I made it with three different   types of wood, cherry, walnut, and maple. We sketched our ideas and figured out the dimensions for the cutting board. Once we knew how much wood we needed, we cut it out and glued it. My partner and I (Angelica) finished gluing the wood strips together and then cut it in half so we could each have a half. Once that step was finished, we flattened the board and sanded it. Then we used two coats of finishing oil. After that, we burnished twice. I also did the extra step of engraving my mom's monogram on the cutting board. My favorite thing was engraving the letters on the board and seeing it all come together. The hardest thing was getting over the fear of cutting the wood because the blades were very scary and fast. I might do more engraving because it was really fun. I am going to give it to my mom for Christmas.

CMW Cutting Board - Design Tech Project

  What is your project? My project is a cutting board made out of a combination of walnut, maple and cherry wood. How did you make it? I used a table saw to cut out 6 pieces of walnut, maple and cherry wood. I proceeded to glue them together and use a planer to make the surface of the cutting board smooth. Lastly, I used a router to smoothen out the corners of the cutting board. What do you like the most about your project? What I like the most about my project is how the different colors of the wood compliment each other really well. What was challenging about the project? The most challenging part of the project was how to get the exact length of each piece of wood properly as the wood would sometimes be too short or too long and it was quite annoying to get the pieces of wood to the right length. What would you change about the project if I did it again? I would probably make the pieces of wood a little wider as I feel that my cutting board is a little too small. What is your pl...

Personal Kitchen cutting board - design tech project

For this project I made a cutting board. We started by paring up into partners. Next, together with out partners we sketched a design for our cutting boards including the pattern dimensions and type of woods that we will use. After that we cut our different pieces of wood into the strips we need using the table saw, and glue the pieces together in our chosen pattern. After the glue dries we put our wood into the planer to make sure everything is smooth and even. And back to the table saw it is to cut the edges so they all line up and divide the board into two different cutting boards for each of us. In this next process we use the router to create an edge of our choice, for my cutting board I decided to round all of the edges. Then it's time sand. Once we are done sanding we varnish our pieces of wood and let it dry. Once done drying we vernish our pieces of wood with metal wool, this makes our pieces of wood feel softer. after that were done. This was my final product.  My favorit...
