Hi,
I have loads of beech, oak and cheery. Logs, trunks etc.. So I thought I would do something with it.
I plan to start very small and just use the router to make a beech chopping board but I was hoping to get some helpful advice.
What age wood do I use? And if it's very well seasoned how do i cope with all the tiny fine cracks from drying out?
Also any advice on the type of cut for best look / durability? I could just go across the grain or rip cut lengthwise, or diagonal or I could even go through a large join where 2 boughs fork maybe that would look good.... etc...
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you.
