In between big furniture builds, I like to spend a little time catching up on shop organization and smaller side projects, like these cutting boards made from scrap wood. In this casual, vlog-style video, I take you along as I refine the shapes, sand the surfaces, laser in the TWW logo, and apply a food-safe finish. It’s not a full cutting board build, but a peek behind the scenes at how I prep products for sale and use up valuable leftover material. Plus, a little shop talk, some tips, and probably a cat cameo.
