Materials
Pine board
Coffee
Mineral oil - food grade
Pieceof leather roping or twine
Instructions
Use a plastic bowl or other round object to trace a rounded shape at one end of your board.
Use a jigsaw to cut along the lines.
Then use a 3/4 inch spade to drill a hole at the middle of the rounded end of the board about 1/2 - 1 inch from the edge. (this is used for hanging the board and is optional.)
Sand all the edges.
Place one cup of coffee grounds in a mason jar.
Pour boiling water over the grounds and let sit for 1 hour.
Strain out the coffee grounds and use the liquid to stain the board with a sponge brush.
You will want to cover the entire board with the coffee stain several times allowing it to dry slightly between coats.
The next day coat the board with food-grade mineral oil.
Tie a piece of leather roping or twine through the hole to hang.
Notes
Pine is too soft to use as a cutting board so you won't want to place hard blocks of cheese and a sharp knife on this one.
