I really want to do another post on how to build these boards, but I want to include pictures this time. Now that spring is peeking out from under the snow, I may be able to get back into the shop to do that. --Larry Steven,

I don;t find it worthwhile to go that far since my boards are designed for light kitchen use. Consequently I use only mineral oil. Some argue that they have a difficult time getting mineral oil to properly dry, and that it leaves the board sticky. I have not found that to be an issue. Of greater concern is getting user of the boards to actually apply oil on occasion and to dry them after washing. Then there are those who put them in the dishwasher and cause them to disintegrate. :) Thanks for the comment! --Larry FloppyPaws,
