It is a set of puzzle shaped mini-cutting boards (I used maple) that assemble together to form one large cutting board:

It is also great if storage space is a problem, since you can take the pieces apart and stack them and they store with a tiny footprint. But if you need a large cutting board you could attach them end to end and have a long oversized serving board on a buffet or down the center of a table.

And there is little waste lumber, since the finished outside edges are the edges of your board. (Which is great when you have to buy your wood by the linear foot.)

I can’t wait to share just exactly how easy this was to make!

Supplies:
- High Quality 1x8 Board (I used maple and I bought 3 linear feet.. you can adjust the length to however many pieces you want)
- Scroll saw or Band Saw
- Router with round over bit (I used a plunge router and freehanded it, but you could use a router table to make it easier)
- (This can help you decide which one is right for you)
- Palm or Random Orbit Sander
- A detail sander would be useful too for inside the curves, but I just sanded by hand '
- Food grade mineral or tung oil
Tutorial:
I first made a paper template of the male end of a puzzle piece and made a mock up out of cardboard to be sure the wine glass stem would fit without falling out or being too loose.I traced the paper template onto the board repeating every 10 inches (making sure to start and end the board with the puzzle shape.

I sealed the boards with FOOD GRADE mineral oil, although you could use any food safe finish. (I liked the natural wood color since I had paid so much for the nice clear maple!)

This would be such a fun hostess gift and it is a great way to hone your precision cutting skills. The entire project (4 mini boards) only cost me about $15 and tool less than an afternoon!
