Cutting Board DIY Kit

The 6in x 12in Charcuterie Board

Simply order through Amazon, no saw necessary.

If you know you want to make several of these boards, I would recommend purchasing the orbital sander to streamline your process. Sanding is the most time consuming portion of the project.

Precut Wood Bundle (Pick 1):

  • If you do not own a saw, make sure you buy the same length wood if you’re mixing and matching:

Maple ($13)

Walnut ($14)

Purple Heart ($17)

Clamps:

2 clamps ($11 Each)

2 steel pipes for clamps. Make sure the pipes are 1/2 in in diameter to match the clamps ($7 each)

Wood Glue:

One bottle of Gorilla Glue is enough for 1 board ($3) or Titebond Glue (food grade safe claim - $7.50)

Sanding Tool:

  • If you plan on making 1 cutting board, a manual Hand Sander will work (Free, but will take time).

  • If you plan on making multiple boards, I would recommend a basic Electric Orbital sander ($25) or DeWalt orbit sander ($60).

  • If you plan on starting a business and mass produce, I would recommend an electric planer or drum sander ($$$).

Sand Paper:

2 pieces of 80 Grit ,

2 pieces of 120 Grit ,

2 pieces of 220 Grit,

1 piece of 320 Grit (optional).

Cutting Board Oil:
