Reclaimed Wood Breadboard

I have been drooling over this breadboard for a while now.
It's from the Miss Mustard Seed blog, one of my favorites!
She's so fun and inspiring and I love her style.

When my son Taylor decided a few months ago that he wanted
to get into working with reclaimed wood, I knew exactly
what I wanted him to make for me!

I sent him a picture and he brought over a gorgeous big old

heavy piece of oak.  It looks like it was a wide stair tread or

part of a barn in it's former life.  I drew the pattern I wanted

with chalk and he cut it out and gave it all a good sanding.

I gave it one coat of Miss Mustard Seed's Hemp Oil

and this is how it turned out!  Isn't it cool?

I've already requested a small one to layer with it, maybe

in a lighter color.  I'm thinking clear furniture wax instead

of the oil will give the lighter contrast I want.

He's eventually going to open an etsy store

and when he does, I'll be sure and let you know!
