Ever wonder if you can do something and then just go for it? I'm totally that DIYer. If I think it might work, then I'm going to try it. Especially if the cost isn't that high. Well, I saw these random tree stumps laying around our neighborhood that I had already found useful when making a Tree Stump Rolling Plant Stand. I decided I wanted to make something else. So, I decided to make a butcher block cutting board and; guess what? It totally worked! Today, I'm sharing How to Make a Cutting Board Out of a Tree Stump and it's so easy!
To get the step-by-step tutorial, pop on over to eHow where I've explained the whole process.
*Oh, and a special thanks to my Dad for giving me a hand with the chainsaw.

You are my savior. My husband and I have been arguing over a cutting board for probably a year now. No joke! But I do believe this gorgeous thing will appease us both. Thanks for the inspiration 😉

You are quite welcome! A tip - try to use dried out wood if you are going to make one. Different types of fresh would can split as they edge and dry out.
Maggie Jordan
This is wonderful! I was wondering what kind of wood you used. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Ashley Mayes
I have no idea!!

Question.. I have 4 slabs, but they are quite wet. Should I let them dry? Sand and wax until I'm ready to tackle the 3? Trying to sort out a plan. Any help would be great!
Ashley Mayes
Yes! You need to let them dry or you can take them to a wood kiln (some of the woodworkers in town have these).

Logs that come from a old tree. Can they be cut and heated (low in oven) to remove fungus and mold (I think)?
Ashley Mayes
I've heard that but never tried it!
