I am all about recycling, reusing and repurposing,
so when I saw this metal base laying forlornly at the local dump's take it or leave it I took it home. It was awhile before I found the perfect partner for it; this solid wood cutting board.
They make the perfect pair. Both were scrubbed then the cutting board was power sanded with my orbital sander till smooth and most knife marks removed. Leaving a few of course gives the piece true character of its past.
Both sides were hand rubbed with dark wax to seal and give a lovely warm sheen.
My handy husband drilled holes thru the salvaged metal stand so I could screw the stand to the cutting board.
It is complete and such a great collaboration between two pieces married to make one don't you think?
