Butcher Block Style Cutting Board
We bet you've got a friend who loves to cook!
This fun and easy project lets you make an attractive and durable butcher block style cutting board. While this is an easy project, the finished cutting boards can be quite expensive when purchased in kitchen supply stores. Of course, the cutting board works well for carving your prize after a hunting or fishing trip, too.
