And if you are relatively new to woodworking, this is a great project to hone your milling, glue-up and tablesaw skills. A custom cutting board makes a great gift and many woodworkers make them in batches every Holiday Season. Im not sure if its the “back to basics” simplicity or just the fact that it is one of the most useful projects a woodworker can make, but something keeps bringing me back for more.
One of my favorite woodworking projects is a butcher block end-grain cutting board.
