SWMBO asked me to make a cutting board that would fit over one side of our double sink in the kitchen. There needed to be a hole so that vegetable cutoffs can be pushed into the sink below. There also needed to be a rabbet so the board would fit down into the sink recess (so that it wouldn’t move around). The rabbet was the only challenging thing – the sink recess was rounded at the corners so the rabbet had to be rounded. A lot of chisel work, finished up with a router plane and shoulder plane. I wrote a blog about the build here, if anyone is interested. The 12″ x 16″ board is finished with three coats of mineral oil.

@jotato – Joe, I don’t know why that permission would be denied. The link works for me. But then, when it comes to computer stuff I’m fairly clueless. Maybe try again later.31 August 2016 at 8:04 am #139811I’m getting the same when I try to view your blog.

The blog permissions is set to “public”, so I don’t know why it won’t allow viewing. You can always try the web address “https://tinyshopww.blogspot.com/” and if it’s no longer the latest blog entry, look in the archive for August, 2016. If anyone tries this, please let me know if it works.
31 August 2016 at 7:57 pm #139827@mattmcgrane I see now the problem with the link in the original post. When I hover my cursor over the link, it’s showing that it’s a link to edit the post rather than a link to the post itself.
I can get to your blog by just pasting tinyshopww.blogspot.com in to my browser.
7 September 2016 at 9:02 pm #139984Whoa, I just saw this thread! Fantastic idea, Matt. Like it a lot. How’s it holding up?
7 September 2016 at 10:00 pm #139985@delong1974 – Hey Derek. So far we’ve only used the board a couple times, but so far so good. I’ve washed it each time with water and a rag. I’ll keep an eye on it, though. If/when it dries out, I’ll give it another coat of mineral oil. I’m not going to worry about knife marks, but when I cut veggies I’ll try to use the knife cross-grain or diagonal so that I don’t get any divots with the grain.

it’s been a while and I hope you still enjoy the board. How is it holding up after 2.5 years? Is it still flat and did it bend?
Cheers, Thomas10 March 2019 at 5:57 pm #555497Hi Thomas. As it turns out, we only use the board occasionally. But it is still totally flat. I make sure to clean it off after use and it hangs near the sink when not used, so it dries completely. Good luck with your project.
