Home Improvement > Kitchen > How to Make a Cutting Board

Learn how to make a butcher block chopping board with a notch for scraping food into a bowl.

Cut three 17-inch lengths of 2-inch thick clear maple on the miter saw. These are straight cuts--not miter cuts.

Alternate the wood grain by flipping the middle board over so that its grain runs counter to the outer two boards.

Apply wood glue to the edges of the boards where they will join.

Clamp them together while the glue dries.
