Just finished two experiments which will be birthday presents for my mum. When my parents redid their kitchen, they had a few things made out of black walnut, and kept the offcuts. Since my mum has said she wanted a cheeseboard and matching breadboard, I spotted a present opportunity!
Both are very simple as they're my first attempts into their respective techniques. For the cheeseboard, it's the largest thing I've turned (15"), as I usually do spindlework. So I kept it simple, focused on the finish. For the breadboard, all I had was smaller pieces, so I needed to do a block laminate effect - again, my first time doing that as an end product. Kept it simple, focused on the finish.
I'd welcome any comments and criticism! Oh, they've been finished with danish oil.

I created a silver birch cutting board, finished today with some de-waxed shellac, this wood was in a skip near me! so it was completely free.
I was planning on giving it away to a friend, but now I might have to keep it.
I used a coping saw, rasp a no4 stanley plane and sandpaper to make this, no power tools needed.

Knocked this together today with off-cuts of Jewsons' finest rubbish 'joinery grade' reds. Notice the short T&G board...it's only for me so I don't mind too much.

Blimey, that's unbelievably good!
The precise and even rounding to all the edges (including on the end grain and around those internal and external corners), the absolute symmetry of the handle, the tightness of the glue lines, the flatness of the surface, the way the jointed boards are perfectly balanced on each side, the complete absence of any tell tale flats or facets from a rasp, and even the professional jauntiness of the design.
I'm blown away, I really am!

After using a temporary screwed-to-a-bit-of-MDF-in-a-workmate job for more years than can strictly be considered "temporary", I made one of these:
And to celebrate, one of these - to replace the temporary-old-glass-placemat which we'd used for more years than could strictly be considered "temporary":
Since I know it's all you guys really care about, and also since I need the practice, I did the corners with dovetails:
And then stuffed things in it so it's useful:

Those are some very impressively tight dovetails!
Isn't that Sapele?
Was there a lot of splintering to deal with?
