Well, instead of watching TV, I decided to see if I could make a Walnut edge grain cutting board. Turned out to be fairly simple and quick to make.
Thought I would share.
The cutting board sits flush on the counter. I chose not to put feet on it and instead create a recess on both sides for your fingers to grip. As the board weighs close to 7 lbs, having your fingers grip something makes it easier to lift.
