The IKEA Numerar butcher block slab that we used for our kitchen island was about 10″ too long for what we needed. Handy Hubby cut it to size and in the end we were left with a skinny sliver of butcher block. What to do? We decided to cut our leftover piece in half and make 2 custom cutting boards…one for us, one for someone else. We simply sanded ’em down and oiled ’em up (with mineral oil). For the cutting board that we’re keeping for ourselves, Handy Hubby suggested we add handles to the ends for easier carrying and cleaning. Isn’t he smart??!! Here’s our new lil’ cutting board now…
As a ‘thank you’ of sorts, I promised Handy Hubby baked apples today. I thought the prep looked pretty enough to photograph, so I did.
(Notice the snazzy handle on the end.)
Can’t you smell the cinnamon and brown sugar already? Nummy. Thank you, Handy Hubby!
