Breadboards, Hearts, Crosses, Oh My

With the snow melted, and, the break in the temps, I've been able to get out in the garage.  I've been rummaging through my stash of wood, and, decided to make a few things.



I've been cutting all day.  Piles of wood turning into breadboards, hearts, crosses, etc.  I just did a freehand sketch, and, whipped out the power tools.











I have ideas for more designs, which will include these old wood handles.





I'll let you know what I come up with.

I'm in woodworking mode.

    Always awesome to see what you come up with. I'd love to see some bread boards with longer handles too.

    So glad there's a break in the winter weather - my word it was a long one.

    Take care.

    You constantly amaze me! I told hubby I am going to learn to use his table saw, mitre saw, scroll saw, drill press etc. etc. Our shop is full of woodworking tools...even a planer. I have used some of them ,but usually have the hubs do it for me. Family ties to cabinet building etc. Can't wait for it to stay warm. Hopefully I still have the energy by then. Haha!!

    Rosemary,
    The reuse of woods into breadboards with all their unique grains and age is so comforting visually. I will be checking etsy for them.
    Glad your weather is improving we thought in Philadelphia with the warmer temps of last week Spring had sprung... But snow is arriving on Thursday into Friday!
    xoxo,

    What a clever idea to create your own rustic breadboards. Looking forward to seeing what you do with those handles. Thanks Rosemary for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.

    I just love them!!! I cant wait to see more with those handles!!!
    Just a question:are you gonna use them? What do you use to protect them and make them food usable??(I think I just created that combination of words).
