Breadboards and Vintage Handles

In my last post, I shared some of the salvaged wood breadboards I've been making.  I also said I would let you know what I decided to do with the vintage wood handles I picked up at an estate sale a while ago.






They'll all be serving as handles for some of my breadboards.





I just finished this one.




I'm also working on various round designs.





This piece was cut from a vintage tabletop whose legs were broken off.  I knew I could make use of the wood.  Cut, sanded, and, given a food safe finish.





This next one sold right away on Etsy.  I almost kept it.  However, I'll be making more with the same overall design.




Obviously, I'm still in a woodworking mood.

See ya soon.

    You are a genius, Rosemary! I love that you used an old tabletop to create a cutting board. Love the round shaped one. And those handles are perfect!

    Rosemary,
    That's a really clever and cool reuse for the handles. Love your cut out breadboards from salvaged wood.
    I'm posting tonight and showing your urn silhouettes, check them out later. Oh Rosemary I am so enjoying all the wonderful cuts outs you made.
    xoxo,

    I love the different patinas on theses. Each tells a story. Great use of the handles you scored.
