Also, wetting the board before final sanding is called raising the grain! Very pro tip from you!

GREAT RESTORE! FYI... A power Planer would work for this board fine, but DO NOT plane and engrain cutting board! It will separate the grains and chip out the trailing edge as it goes through! Hand planing is fine on end grain, but not power planing!

[@TheFlippersGuide]

Okay, I had no idea. I only used a hand planer. Thanks for sharing!! Thanks for being here!

[@aliferefurbished]

This is a great rescue Autum! And for a moment I thought the craw dad was a scorpion. 😄

[@TheFlippersGuide]

[@the.veiled.world.itself]

Where did you get Walrus oil?

[@TheFlippersGuide]

I linked it in my description ☺️

[@annabelleheseman8163]

What’s walrus oil?

[@TheFlippersGuide]

It is a cutting board oil and sealant 💕

[@cindys9858]

Looks better before, that yellow look to it is not pleasant, so much so rather see it trashed.

[@TheFlippersGuide]

No worries, we all have our own opinions. The before was literally stained from years of use so couldn’t keep that 🤷🏼‍♀️Be sure to watch to the very end. The yellow look is more from the lighting and when it was placed in my kitchen you can see a more accurate color ☺️
