I don't think its ragged Kev, it looks like its a flattened bamboo nodule.

Do they sand out or do you have to fill them?

 

[Robbi]

that is it sanded mate, you're just seeing the grain.

Now you've finished it what does the bottom end look like now as it was a little ragged?

I think Kev was referring to the ends of the board in the first and fourth pictures where it does look rather ragged and in need of filling

Honestly it will need a bit of filling with sawdust and glue however I am on holiday so lack the sawdust and glue to do it right now. Also however I did it with the mrs and kids away at her mum's for the weekend, so had the free time to work on it.

Apologies it isn't fantastic. I could sand it more but it would lose the rounded corners so it's the choice of whoever wants it.

I could see what else I have to offer up when I am back.

No worries Steve, are we stuck on the chopping board.

 

[Mesquite]

Stuck solid for almost a month now

Just a suggestion, but given that things seem to have a less than 100% chance of arriving when using the Royal Mail, maybe it would be better to use a courier. I post a fair bit of stuff due to my ebay obsession, and have never had a problem with couriers. Usually a lot cheaper than the Post Office, with the reassurance of fast and signed for delivery.

 

[Corso]

never had a recorded delivery go missing myself....

Yep no one wants a chopping board it seems......

 

[nunzionuk]

had a couple go missing on me before. so I always put a return address on.. sometimes they come back, some times they show up a few weeks later.

 

[nephilim]

I will see what else I have for giveaway, may not be much however

*edit*

As it happens, I have some leather strips which are good for strops.

 

[Robbi]

post up some photos mate and lets try and get this moving again, it's been far to long sitting here stagnant.

 

[nephilim]

Will do when I get a chance!

Been manic at work (moving offices, so long hours) and home (2 month old, just had jabs, and is teething already, not a pretty picture! haha). Soon as I can, I will post up pics Either chopping board which I can finish up (will sand it a bit more so its all nice and smooth) and some leather strips which would be good for a lap strop.

 

[nephilim]

As nobody wants either the leather or chopping board...how about 50 ft of paracord?

Let's see pictures or at least a decent description of the leather first

 

[nephilim]

Scissors for scale.

*Edit*

I was sent these by another user. I've made an axe sheath (bit rubbish but it was my first, and it's floppy, but did it because I wanted to try), made a lap strop and kept a piece back as my daughter likes it and wanted me to make a skirt for her teddy.

I'll send all of this to whoever wants it.

[nephilim]
