How to make a Cutting Board | Recycled Hardwood Flooring
What happens here
Adjust the table saw fence to the desired width for the cutting board strips. Carefully feed each planed walnut plank through the table saw, ripping them into consistent, narrower strips. This step ensures that all pieces have parallel edges, which is essential for a tight glue-up.
Goal: Cut walnut planks into uniform strips with parallel edges.
