My woodworking isn't up to par with you cutting board makers, but I wanted to share a recent COVID project. I picked up some rough cut (red oak I think) lumber out of my wife's grandfather's barn a few years ago. Well it has been sitting in my garage for a while. Finally found a co-worker with a planer willing to lend a hand. This stuff was hard/dense enough to throw the breaker if we planed off more than half a 64th. So it was a slow go, but we got them flat and true.
After that it moved along pretty quickly.
The base is a vintage lathe base that I acquired off ebay a few years back.
I'm a fan of the vintage industrial look. This thing is probably 350 lbs assembled.

Nice work man. Very cool. I love it when stuff is reclaimed into usable pieces.
