How to make a Cutting Board | Recycled Hardwood Flooring

What happens here

The project begins with the selection of materials. The creator uses leftover walnut hardwood flooring, which is conveniently already planed, flat, and true. He unbundles the flooring pieces by cutting the strapping with a utility knife, revealing the raw, untreated walnut planks. These planks will form the primary material for the cutting board.

Goal: Acquire and prepare the hardwood planks for the cutting board.

Tools and materials

  • Utility Knife — Cutting the strapping around the hardwood flooring bundle
  • Walnut Hardwood Flooring — The main material for the cutting board
