Do It Yourself -
Chopping Block
| Step 3a |
After the glued wood is dry, all pre-determined dimensions are measured on the wood and trimmed via a table saw. |
| Step 3b | With the help of an electric hand planer, we levelled all the surfaces of the wood. |
| Step 3c | Using a homemade concoction of very fine sawdust and Elmer's glue, a putty is made which matches the wood coloring. Let the putty dry for a few days or until it has hardened. |
| Step 3d |
All surfaces are now sanded using an electric orbital hand sander. We started with 80 grit sandpaper and worked our way our to 180 grit. |
 |
All cracks and small holes are filled in generously. |
 |
This is the most important step. Make sure the surfaces are super smooth and no cracks, dents or unevenness appear on the chopping block.
