Footed Cutting Board
6:00:00 AM
A butcher board scrap becomes a fun footed cutting board.
This scrap of butcher block countertop was the perfect size.
It just needed a little pizzaz!
I cut feet from old table legs... no painting required, they were the perfect color and chippy beauty.
Then I gave the wood a coat of vinegar/steel wool solution to darken the butcher block wood.
You can see the gray color streaks the vinegar solution created in the different woods giving it an aged look.
When the vinegar dried I gave the new cutting board a coat of olive oil (affiliate link) to season the dry wood.
This was a great use for this butcher block scrap.
It makes a great pedestal at the dining table too!

Great looking for sure... will be curious to know how the super glue holds up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joyce! So far so good, one month and counting...
DeleteSusan that is a beautiful reuse-repurpose. How great with a big loaf of crusty bread on the table, now you've got me thinking! Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good, love the little feet, they just make it. I always use mineral oil on my boards, it doesn't get rancid like cooking oils.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will try that next time!
DeleteGood morning Susan!
ReplyDeleteLove this project, that is a perfect use for that butcher block scrap! The little feet really make this piece. Love it as a pedestal on the table.

Excellent! Reminds me to look past the size of some scrap to see what it can be turned into in a smaller state.
ReplyDeleteEaster Blessings.
