A while back my wife was at a 2nd hand store for something and found a used cutting board. She thought the wood looked nice so she bought it for 50 cents and brought it home. When I saw it I just kind of laughed and told her it was nice wood but I didn't really know what I could do with it. It was about 12" x 15" x 1", well used and hacked up pretty bad. Today I decided to try and renovate it and make a round cutting board out of it. So I ended up with an 11.5" round cutting board, 3/4" thick. It has some walnut oil rubbed on it. The only wood I'm sure of is the center piece of maple but it was all nice, pretty, hard wood.
