This board has been 2 years in the making! Storytime! During lockdown Dan's mental health had taken a dive. But, one of the things that helped him through it was getting into cooking. One of the people who inspired him online was Andy Cooks @andyhearnden. Next thing I know, I'm watching too, getting Dan a dough scraper, and a giant piece of wood (from @therusticwoodbarn) so I could make him his very own giant chopping board. Then we decided to move house so there was no point customising it to the size of our old kitchen worktop. 18 months later we finally moved. Soon after, Dan was investing in a new chefs knife and mis en place bowls for prep... Then it was finally time to complete the board. I knew I had to wait for my new circular saw as I didn't want to ruin my expensive slab! Then I had to get some new router bits and some special wood wax (@natashacraig_woodworker) for the occasion, and I got it done in two weekends! It looks so good in our kitchen WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT GRAIN and Dan is happy to finally have his giant chopping board. Hope you liked this special episode of Hey Babe, What do you Want for Dinner? And if you are into cooking and don't follow Andy... Go check him out! #heybabe #andycooks #cuttingboard #liveedge #diyish #woodworkher cutting board woodworking live edge
