Presentation-cutting- Boards
« on: August 23, 2020, 05:11:17 PM »
I need to sell about four of these a month @ $150-$200... there will be a store here, again, selling these things and other items i make in the shop- i can carve school/team stuff as I did here... this will cover the costs here, i hope, as it seems nothing else is paying the bills!  
:) 












or I can go another way with the personalized things like this:





this little one was $50.... 



this one was $150 with the insets... 





at any rate, I thought I would 'shop' them here (and know that if any of y'all do things like this you're welcome to 'shop' them here too)...  I've got seven to do and I'm taking orders... generally, I like to get an 'idea' what folks would like instead of doing things precision ordered... i've yet to have a disappointed customer.  

by the way- the top two boards are what i call "presentation boards" as they have the juice sluice offset to the side (still sizable area, though) and the carving visible... the sluice ought to protect bread or even a stack of smaller plates (and of course show off your team or whatever you have going on there)... 

some of the others have juice sluices, some don't... some are pretty sizable while others aren't.. but ALL of them are solid wood- and not something that will diminish over time... they're at least 1.5" thick which allows for re-finish... insets are at least 1/4" thick if not more (usually they're 1/2" thick if they're on the cutting surface).  the resin is tough stuff that takes a few days to fully cure, and used over hand painted lettering/design.  Insets are glued in with both purpose made wood glue as well as epoxy.... the epoxied surface is flush with the board.  

these things should never be submerged in water for more than a few minutes... a wipe is generally all they need- uses solvents/cleaners if you must... every six months or so they appreciate a wipe (and allow for absorbing) of board oil... the food safe kind... IF you scar it up, well, that's the reason I make them so thick... a few passes with increasing grit count sandpaper, then a oiling- and you're back to new. 

thoughts?

Whatever you want... my planer is 12 1/2" and the CNC bed is 34" x 28" those are my two limiting factors, bit I can always adjoin and make larger pieces too...

The top two pics/boards are just over two feet long and 12.5" wide, 1 1/2" thick.  The ECU pirate board is 17" long iirc,  and 1.5" thick... i think D&B board near the same...

man it feels like i'm always on here at times... i spend most my time on a board south of this one and in attempt to keep those guys engaged... not that they need help, but running in and tossing gasoline on a topic and running out keeps the place hopping... they account for about 70% of the 'new' traffic that arrives here, while this board brings in 29%... this board has @ELA and @847badgerfan to keep it ticking... the rest of the site? is... slow... I'd love to see the XII come back to life but man, they took a blow with the loss of @CharleyHorse46 ... 

I hope things with you and yours are well too, Sir.

I try and poke the bear from time to time.  Seems to work.

I'd like two cutting boards for my kids if possible.  I can mail a check.  They are both OSU grads.  THE OSU, that University of Ohio State thing.

"presentation cutting board" @Cincydawg ?  they're the long ones- around two feet long and a foot or so tall, with the 'juice sluice' to the side... or... one like the "ECU Pirate" board above?  It's something like 17"x12"... both will be around 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" thick... Initials/monogram? 

you can type it up here or send me a message.... I've already got a notion on design that seems like it will be a fantastic board (in my head, anyway) :)

Yeah, 17" long is probably better for them.  I'm thinking some kind of OSU emblem, I forget their mascot, some kind of tree I think, or useless nut.

Maybe initials on it?  

I'm open to suggestions, would be a Christmas present.  One has a law degree from Capitol U but I probably would skip that.  OSU with a Bulldawg would confuse everyone.

They are hard to buy for, and they both told me to stop sending them money, which I infer means I did a good job as parent at least on the financial side.

Send me your home address and I'll put a check "in the mail", heh.

I trust your design, their initials would be LPD and TK.

Drew, what would a rough cost be for something in the 18x24" or 18x30" size? Probably a design somewhat similar to the B&D design. 

Something most likely either with 6 inset letters for their last name, or a big "R" inset with CNC milled or resin-filled remaining letters...
