End-Grain Ambrosia Maple Cutting Board (Butcher Style)
This board can be made in pretty much any size you wish, with or without feet or a perimeter groove. They start at 10" X 16" X 1.5". This particular board was made to fit in half of a double farmer style sink. Thus it is inset so it is flush with the counter top and stops even with the sink divider. The cutout is to allow it to be lifted from the sink easily, and used with the other side up for heavy chopping - leaving the top as nearly unmarked as possible.

Meet the Maker

ShopDog Turnery
I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.
In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.
I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.
Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

Dec 9, 2023Working with Jim Barbour was a very positive experience. I especially liked Mr. Barbour's prompt communications with me about my custom, personalized cutting board project and I was promptly informed of the status of my project along the way. I highly recommend this craftsman.
