I'm using this plain wood board for the table.
But first I cleaned it and give it a rub down.
I used a mixture of olive oil and white vinegar
to re-condition the wood. I also like to use
mineral oil for natural wood pieces and

Larry added the riser strips on the bottom.
They serve a purpose when I'm using the
board for it's other purpose.
It keeps the board from slipping when
I'm using it as a bath tray.
Simple.
Back to the breakfast table.
The risers elevate the board just a bit.
It's now a rustic fall table runner.
I can't get bored with this board.
It's a good spot for a hot-from-the-oven casserole.
Like 'Chicken Waikiki Beach'.

I love the uses youve pulled off with this board! very creative,great job!
ReplyDeleteHow clever you always are, using it for two creative and different purposes. I don't use mineral oil since it is a petrochemical product. What I've been using is Walnut oil. It's all-natural and is one of the few oils that doesn't turn rancid. You can also add as much beeswax as you like while you are warming the oil for application. It works really well. Maybe I'll get hubs to make me one!!!
ReplyDeleteHow terribly clever! And I'll definitely be checking out your recipe. I've had very good results with your recipes before, and my family always enjoys trying something new. (i'm lucky that way.)
ReplyDeleteNow how fun is that!! Great idea. You are so creative!

This is a great idea to "elevate" one's tablescape without making it impossible to see across the table. Lovely post, and I really like the red and white dishes.
