Equipment

  • plastic bowl
  • Jigsaw
  • Drill with spade bit
  • Sandpaper
  • Sponge brush

Materials

  • Pine board
  • Coffee
  • Mineral oil - food grade
  • Piece of 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.
