Nesting Cutting Boards

Sketch a freehand cutting-board silhouette with a wide handle opening onto the first board blank. Drill a starter hole if the handle opening is fully enclosed, then cut the outline out with a jigsaw.

Lay the finished first board against the edge of the second blank and trace along it, then complete the second board's outline so the two will nest together once cut.

Cut the second board to match your tracing, then sand or rout-round the edges of both boards to match each other.

Finish both boards with food-safe mineral oil.

Tape a printed egg-holder template to a board with spray adhesive, jigsaw-cut along the untaped edges, drill the egg wells, then remove the template and finish the same way as the boards.
