Popular Post treeslayer Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I know I didn’t know what one was either, it’s a fancy board for cheese, meat, veggies and dip, crackers, used for when friends or family get together. This one is for my wife’s birthday, Hard Maple and Sapele with box joints on the ends and bent lamination strips down the middle, thanks for looking guys 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you do the dip down in the middle with the sides? Yeah that was on purpose Drew , not! yours looks great as does all your work. The center was cut out with my Forrest dado stack, start and stop points marked on the rip fence then a little sanding and card scraper, a couple of coats of mineral oil for finish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I would have never guessed to do that. That's a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 That's really slick! Did you put the bent lam in before hollowing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ross ,The process was glue boards together, box joint the ends, bent lam strips, remove waste from the middle, taper the bottom of each end, taper the 4 corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chet Posted March 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Dave that is just plan beautiful. Really different design.

If you cover that up with tasty snacks it's just more motivation to eat more tasty snacks.... as if more motivation was ever needed . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 You never cease to amaze. Beautiful job Dave! So you dropped the board down on the dado stack at a starting point like you would for a stopped dado on the router table? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Coop, yep the dado stack was set for a 3/8” deep cut and just lowered it down slow at the startling point and picked it up slow at the end point, just repeat for each 3/4” wide pass, i can’t wait to fill it up with delicious meat and cheese treats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Sawdust Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Dang @treeslayer can you please design something for me to build? Looks great! If I had some good local elk sausage or something to send you I’d be proud to say that food was on your tray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks @Chip Sawdust, I’ve made a couple of other ones out of a single board, nice looking but not much challenge, originally this one was going to have the maple ends attached with sliding dovetail joints but I thought that was too much work for too little show, I thought about using thru dovetails on the ends of this one, maybe on the next one I build I’ll try dovetails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 This looks awesome. I saw a similar type process as you are describing done on here I think? Not carving out the center like you did but around the sides. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8bBNfOjSR4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
