Hi there Ron,

I baby all my boards with a regular mineral oil bath that is all carefully hand-rubbed into the board. The boards now have a lovely patination from keeping this up over time.

One board I've had since I was pretty much a kid is now developing a small running crack with age (from age related internal dryness of the board).

I propose we start a forum on how to thwart/repair (wood) chopping & serving board cracks when they are still relatively new--verses not having the crack 'travelling' or 'spreading' the length of the entire board and therein ruining it permanently.

This reparative topic could be addressed by all members in a clear, stage-by-stage instructive narrative with FOOD SAFE applications on how to apply the needed corrective measures.

Maybe things like matching fine sawdust particles could be applied into the would-be foodsafe glueing agent so that the repair will be more aesthetic and less obvious to the eye perhaps?

What needed prep would be necessary?
How would it be applied therein?
What method of repair is the most non-toxic?
What repair will stand the test of time and everyday functional board use?

Cheers and thanks.

starstarstarstarstar 		Arbutus burl chopping board
by: Arbutus Ron

What a gorgeous picture!

Unfortunately it is real hard to find such a big piece of burl in Arbutus and even harder to find it without cracks.

Arbutus or Madrone burls crack lots when they dry.

I'll keep my eyes open though for you. I found a giant dead Arbutus tree and will be bringing it in this winter. Perhaps it will have a piece.

Good luck,

Ron
