DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board

DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board | Club Crafted

DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board | Club CraftedWhen Excel Blades contacted me to try out one of their products, I was immediately excited to try their wood burner. I’ve never used one before, and it had been on my wish list for quite a while. I started practicing with it right away, and decided to share this DIY honeycomb wood burned cutting board with a hexagon pattern. Now I love for cutting fruit, chopping veggies or even styling my photos. 

DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board | Club Crafted DIY Honeycomb Wood Burned Cutting Board | Club CraftedA girl can never have too many cutting boards! That’s what I keep telling myself anyway as my collection continues to grow…

I was really excited about the honeycomb pattern and how the project turned out! I was worried about how well I could use the wood burner, but as you can see, it went pretty well. I practiced a bit on some scrap wood and then jumped right into this project. Take your time and you can make a really pretty customized cutting board!

Supplies:

  • Standard cutting board
  • Wood burner with pointed tip 
  • Pencil
  • 1-inch hexagon stencil

Step 1: Make sure the cutting board is clean. 

Step 2: Either cut small hexagons with a cutting machine or punch, or use a pre-made stencil. I cut 1-inch hexagons using my Cricut Explore Air.

Step 4: Once your pattern is traced, heat up the wood burner. Give it about 5 minutes to heat fully and carefully burn over your pattern. You may need to go over some spots multiple times to get an even burn. This will take time, so take breaks if your hand begins to hurt. 

This was my first time using a wood burner, but I found it very easy to use. I highly recommend practicing on a piece of scrap wood to familiarize yourself with the tool first. 

Step 5: After your pattern is burned, wash the board to remove any residue from the pencil marks.

Wood burned cutting boards are easy to care for – simply treat it like any other cutting board. It adds some fun character to the board, and I also updated this one with a piece of suede string looped through the handle. This makes it easy to hang if you want, but I have a stack of cutting boards leaning on my counter. I can’t wait to use this one more often now! I think you’ll see it make appearances in future photos here on the blog.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
