I ran into some really sweet spalted maple a couple months ago at a really good price. I’ve been able to make Michigan cutting boards with it.

Here are three that I finished up this weekend. The one in the middle was made up from scrap strips that I had laying around from when I made glue up cutting boards.

Those cutting boards look awesome! Although the one in the middle is boarding Buckeye Colors LOL. BTW, just because I am living on OH, does not make me a Buckeye LOL…. I’m a lifelong Badger!

Welcome to the forum. Those are some sweet cutting boards. Love the wood grain. Looks like more of something I would hang on the wall than cut my food on. Nice job

Here’s a cool piece of spalted that’s on its way to become another cutting board.[External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

What type of finish will you put on it?

tugnut1Member since Jan 2016Mar 1, 2016 7:21 PM CT

Mineral oil.

Have you ever tried using beeswax dissolved in mineral oil? I hear that you can get good results, but have never witnessed it first hand.

I have not, but I have heard the same thing. Mineral oil is just really easy and can be reapplied by anyone.
