I designed this chopping board as a gift for my partner. I got it CNC machined from an Ash offcut at a local CNC machinists:
I opted for a design that has a single curved face with a large chamfered edge that allows you to move any chopped veg onto a plate easily.
I finished this board with food-safe Tung oil. You can see how it has held up after a year of use in the middle photo. I would highly recommend this finish because it keeps & enhances the woods natural colouring but hardens to a robust durable food-safe coating.
We have been using the chopping board for over a year now. My partner said she appreciates the chamfered edge and accommodating curve which makes transferring veg, pizzas (especially good) & fruit easier with less chance of spillage.
If I were to make a mark 2 I would think about reducing the overall thickness as it is quite heavy but overall it is a useful addition to our kitchen which we both use whenever we cook.
