DIY Wooden Bread Board
This fun project uses the remnants of another wooden DIY project I just finished. I found rough hewn wood, the most rustic and least expensive wood in the wood department, is found at Home Depot. I bought a 6' piece for my last project and today I'm using the rest!
I cut my board to the size I needed with a small circular saw then used a jigsaw to cut out a simple handle for my bread board.
I drilled a hole into the top of the handle so I could add twine for hanging.
I stained my wood with my very favorite stain... Rustoleum Transformations.
I bought it at Home Depot.
You just brush it on and wipe it off for the perfect coverage.
As you can see I use it all the time and I'm definitely ready for a new can myself!
Now the fun part!
