If you have a laser engraver, you can engrave an image onto the surface of your project. If you don't, you can still make a bread/cheese board.

I also used the laser engraver to cut the shape out of wood. I made a top piece and a bottom piece. However this can also be done by hand, with only one board if wanted.

Sanding

After cutting it, I glued the two pieces together, keeping all sides flush.

I then sanded the board with 150 grit sand paper, 220 and then 320. This gave me a smooth feeling board.

Oiling

I then oiled the board using a cutting board oil (food grade) and followed the instructions on the bottle.

Completion

I then decided to put a leather strap through the hole in the top of the board so that I can hang it in the kitchen
