>>1188>also jsut get a OSB panel you pussy, spending a week on a desk is pointless not cyberpunkOSB cannot be used for foodware - the glue is toxic and splint will chip under knife. Also OSB cannot be washed because it'll curve.
Hardest thing is to obtain decently sized piece of right wood. Pine or fir cannot be used because it is too soft and darkens in humidity. I had a log of 60-year-old apple wood, approximately 50cm in diameter, but as it dried out it cracked right through the center (as wood shrinks as it dries), and it happens with majority of fruit trees: I've tried apple, plum, cherry and pear. There is trick for preserving medium-sized branches, but big ones always crack.
>>1178To make a decent butcherblock you would need band saw and milling machine to make surfaces flat. Keep in mind that when making all wooden foodware, only cutting instruments must be used - no abrasive tools allowed. Picrelated is kuksa. Traditionally cut with only curved and straight knives.
