I could have named this post identically to yesterday’s. More cookies, more crochet and I also started using the beeswax finishing paste on the cutting boards. Not all of them have been treated yet, and I see one that still needs to be sanded, but the center ones in the photo have been and provide a good idea of how they look once treated.
By taking over the finishing, my husband has the time to keep cutting, gluing, planing and sanding. This isn’t my craft, but it does show you what has become of my dining room table. Do you see that the fall table cloth is still on there under all that wood? It has not been clear long enough in the past month to even change it out.
One bonus benefit of this is the paste works as an excellent hand softener which means less snagging of dry winter hands on my yarn. 🙂

Those are gorgeous
I’m impressed with him. He spends a lot of time picking out each piece of wood.
Each one is unique. I like wooden cutting boards.
That’s all I use any more. After a while, the plastic ones never seem to look clean to me.
These are absolutely Beautiful!
It’s going to be hard to give them away, but we are keeping one of them for ourselves.
What beautiful cutting boards!
Beautiful! I love how the wood grain pops. Love the idea of bee’s wax. You husband did a fantastic job!
The beeswax really raises the grain and makes it shine through.
What a great, useful hobby he has, too! I wouldn’t mind knowing the recipe for your finishing paste . . .
It is a great hobby, even if I haven’t seen him much this month except in passing between his two workshops. 🙂 For the beeswax paste,I used these instructions. http://rusticcraftdesigns.com/beeswax-mineral-oil-wood-seasoning-butter-recipe/
the oil can be adjusted to make it a thicker or thinner paste. I also used a large can in a water bath since I wasn’t sure how difficult it would be to get the oil out of my crafting double boiler.
It has a nice, subtle honey smell to it.
Thank you so much!
