Part of our primary business is turning hardwood spindles. We do all our own planing, cutting and glue-ups, so we end up with a lot of scrap hardwood. It is beautiful Maple, Alder, Sapele, Cherry, and sometimes Oak. What to do with this wood waste? We can always find people who LOVE to have this kiln dried wood scrap for kindling. But that wasn't cutting it for me, I wanted to create a product out of this beautiful wood.
So out of that came the cutting boards, cheese boards and trivets or "pot lifters". They are still in the stage of being developed, but we gave some away at Christmas and they were a huge hit.
There are more pictures up if you follow our flickr link.
