Cheese and Bread Boards from Old Flooring/Barn Boards

With safety gear and best safety practices in place (eye protection, ear protection, safe cutting spaces, etc.), use a mechanical saw to cut a piece of old wooden flooring to the size of a bread or cheese board you would like. If you would like to hang the board, drill a hole at one end or the top of the board. Using an orbital sander, smooth the surface and sides of the old wooden flooring until they are free of splinters, paint, and any old coatings on all sides. With a commercial food-safe bees wax, coat and buff the side of the board you want to use until it is smooth and all the cracks have been filled. To clean, rinse in warm, soapy water. Add a leather loop or old boot lace to the hole for hanging purposes, if you so choose.
