Hello! Here, in Poland, academic year just have started. It's the end of holidays for me and beginning of something new - my student career. Yep, I'm a freshman :) But it's not only a time of changes in my life, but changes in the blog as well. It will be less technical and more interesting for people not really enjoying working with wood.
I managed to make something different this time - a project that would be practical and simple. Anyone could make it even with really basic tools, but as people become overgrown by all those screeching machines they seem not to derive pleasure from the simpliest one-step projects like this one.
To kill my perversy of being too technical about the items I make, I won't really describe how to make your own cutting/serving boards. They are so simple that you don't really need any plans to make them.
Yet I want to give you one good advice, choose the most crooked naturally-shaped boards to start with, they give the best results as you don't really want your tray to be too regular - it has to have a soul, it has to make people think about it not as a piece of houseware but as a natural organic piece of wood.
These two items are just a beggining of my whole work on wooden boards. I am planning to launch a whole line of cutting boards/serving trays/cheese boards in our shop. It will be called 'Shapes' - meaning that there will be a lot of funny and interestingly shaped boards in our offer soon.
