View Full Version : Cutting board give away - to a good home
I made a custom cutting board for someone i met at BR2, i sent pictures before sending the board, no objections were raised then. they got the board, said they liked it, again, no objections raised. patiently waited for the agreed payment to be sent, finally after a month of waiting, they finally decided to tell me that they didn't like it, declaring it wasn't 'fancy' enough. fine, either pay me, or send it back.
well, i finally got it back today, it's in good shape, having never been used, and barely unpacked.
so far, i have about $75 into this, about $25 in shipping, and about $50 in materials and consumables. long gone is my fee for making this. fine, lesson learned.
so here's the once in a lifetime offer to all y'all:
tell me, in a brief manner please, why you would give it a good home. i'll take submissions on this thread until next week Tuesday, May 17, 2016 at midnight MDT. i'll drink copious amounts of coffee and water the next morning, judge the entries according to a super-secret methodology (including grading for humor, grammar, spelling, verb tense, etc), and select a winner.
you can appeal to my emotions, to my logic, you can tell me it's for a family/friend and why they would really like it. basically the only rule is to be succinct. brevity is the soul of wit.
yes, the above rules basically mean Gene will need help if he wants to enter. :rofl: my Gene-translator is decent, but not perfect.
as for Spence....please, no Latin. or verbose ramblings. and no references to trains. :slap:
winner has to promise (cross your heart and pinky swear) to send me $30 to cover my shipping to you. i will haul my sorry ass to UPS again and send it to you via UPS Ground (if you want it faster, i'll get a quote and you can pony up the extra $$). payment can be either via snail mail and check, or via paypal (i'll PM you my account email addy).
they wanted a board with the initial "S", so that's what i made.
dimensions are 12-1/2" wide, 14-1/4" tall, 1-7/8" thick. maple and cherry.
pics below:
good luck.

It was either that or something like this:
That thing is beautiful; obviously created by a true craftsman, and made with love. The joinery is without fault, even on the edges of the letter. I definitely lack the skill and patience to create such a masterpiece and I would be positively thrilled to own, display and use such a marvelous object even though there is no "S" at all in my name. I am in awe of the talent and creativity used to make that board!
Any customer who might find fault with the quality or construction of this artwork should have their heads examined, and if they be members here face censure for having the poor taste to complain. However, since karma can be quite the bitch, I am certain that what has gone around will come around again.
In closing, allow me to entreat you to choose ME over anyone else who will ask that they be lucky enough to have fortune smile on them in this manner!
However, since brevity was requested, and I so seldom "win" anything I decided to be brief and odd enough to be noticed.:seasix:

Douglas, this is a fine gesture of a kindhearted soul. Much like when my friends and I donate money to one of the local single mothers to help ends meet. Her name is Satin. She dances on the front stage and my friend Mike has tried everything to meet with her ends.
I don't have an "S" in my formal name, buy my wife often calls me "sumbitch" if that helps.

4. My family portrait taken as we found out we may not win the cutting board.

Hello Mr. DAB,
I am writing on behalf of my dad. He told me yesterday that there was a wonderful gentleman that he knew from the interwebs who is incredibly talented in the field of woodworking so I had to check it out for myself. With the experience that I posses and the vast knowledge that I have acquired as a 2 month old I must agree. This is beautiful workmanship. Seeing the "S" that is beautifully crafted into this board put a big smile on my face seeing as my last name begins with an S! This would make a gorgeous, as well as extremely useful addition to our newly remodeled kitchen. I do have to confess that there is some selfishness behind this as well. Soon I will be eating solid foods. I fear that my daddy will simply cut things up for me on the table. My hot dogs will taste so much better when prepared with this beautiful board rather than being rolled around on the table. My mama saw this last night and agreed that this was an awesome cutting board that would be used with much love. She also agreed that daddy would probably feed me from the tabletop without it.
We would be honored to have this beautiful piece of functional art grace our kitchen.
Sincerely,
D.C.S.

OK, just to influence this approach a little bit: If this is the winning deal, I will send DAB his $50 stated material cost. From what I can see, DAB has already contributed in Island14's memory; I haven't. So this way, MrPeabody pays shipping (if I understand correctly), DAB contributes his time & skill, the eventual auction winner contributes his/her winning bid, & I cover material cost.
Does this make any sense? Am I understanding everything correctly?

as noted above, i'm into this for $25 shipping and $50 materials so far (those are approximate). had to ship it once, they shipped it back and paid for the return trip.
i had planned to add my fee to my gun, ammo, and tool fund, but that will have to wait until i build something else down the road.

I would have no issue with adding to your fund.
I'm in the middle of building a deck so I can assemble Mrs. DAB's new greenhouses. Then need to tile the master BR so I can then finish and move a new bed. Then I need to build a bowl and cutting board for my sister. Then move my reloading bench. Then I'll have time to make more stuffs for others.

I'm also thinking of making a custom board for someone in this thread.

I just used the VB cutting board for a Big dinner (not for the first time) from the auction for Tim's family.
During that whole time, I could hear it telling me that it was not big enough to handle all the food I was preparing on it.
I heard its cries for mercy. I ignored them. Selfishly relishing in my food preparation. My delight in slicing and dicing knew no bounds. The board took it all and asked for more. It struggled under the shear weight of the produce. Barked back at me from the meat cleaver coming down on it. Squealed with delight when I washed it off and started right in again. It begged me to get a relief board. Something to take the load off. Anything to relieve the pressure of my mad chopping and slicing.
It is now resting, somewhat painfully. Still telling me that it needs a friend to help with the huge load of work to be done next weekend. Afraid that the next experience will be more intense than the last.
Please give my cutting board a relief catcher. :D

Well, first off, I have the exact same counter, so you know I am a man of great taste.

My wife's name is Sue, so the S is perfect.
She has decided at 54 years old to start doing fitness shows and has been cutting lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. The cheesy plastic board she has is not up to the task.
She has been working her ass off (literally) and entered her first show in the fall and took third.
https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/12038129_10207732710614929_2211889564301904134_n.jpg?oh=53e4c4d082969a81d2df30cc024e7281&oe=57D5BEFA
She is very competitive and didn't like third so she has been at the gym constantly since then. She hired a trainer and has been putting in a lot of effort.
She has been getting ready for a competition that is coming up this Saturday.
I lost track of how many hours she has put in at the gym.
Sunday night, she was running and tripped and hit the ground face first. I took her to the ER and she ended up with stitches on her forehead and a huge black eye that covers half her face. She just cancelled her show because she doesn't want to go on stage with a black eye and a head bandage. She is pretty bummed out having to quit after all her hard work. The cutting board would certainly cheer her up and would get put to good use. We would most likely start a thread of the adventures of the DAB board as well.
Plus, if she doesn't win, she may beat me.

Plus if I win, I will send some unlucky bastard my plastic board which most likely has some sort of sars or something on it by now.

She just cancelled her show because she doesn't want to go on stage with a black eye and a head bandage. She is pretty bummed out having to quit after all her hard work. The cutting board would certainly cheer her up and would get put to good use. We would most likely start a thread of the adventures of the DAB board as well.
Plus, if she doesn't win, she may beat me.

Plus if I win, I will send some unlucky bastard my plastic board which most likely has some sort of sars or something on it by now.

It would be easier if you just shipped it to me. :D
About 2 hours and 48 min remain.
I'll review tomorrow and announce the winner.

Having breakfast. Will review and decide shortly. :sneaks:
i could justify several peeps getting this board, but after re-reading all the entries, and consulting with Mrs. DAB, the winner is:
Hello Mr. DAB,
I am writing on behalf of my dad. He told me yesterday that there was a wonderful gentleman that he knew from the interwebs who is incredibly talented in the field of woodworking so I had to check it out for myself. With the experience that I posses and the vast knowledge that I have acquired as a 2 month old I must agree. This is beautiful workmanship. Seeing the "S" that is beautifully crafted into this board put a big smile on my face seeing as my last name begins with an S! This would make a gorgeous, as well as extremely useful addition to our newly remodeled kitchen. I do have to confess that there is some selfishness behind this as well. Soon I will be eating solid foods. I fear that my daddy will simply cut things up for me on the table. My hot dogs will taste so much better when prepared with this beautiful board rather than being rolled around on the table. My mama saw this last night and agreed that this was an awesome cutting board that would be used with much love. She also agreed that daddy would probably feed me from the tabletop without it.
We would be honored to have this beautiful piece of functional art grace our kitchen.
Sincerely,
D.C.S.

please PM me your address and i'll get this shipped out in the next few days (i don't go to town every day). think i'll give it a quick sanding and fresh coat of finish.
congrats.
i don't have any kids, just one dumb doggie, so i'd like to think this will still be banging around a kitchen somewhere long after i'm done making sawdust.
thank you all to everyone who entered. :hurray:

There is no doubt about it, this one will be around (and used) for a loooong time.
This will officially be the first thing that the boy has ever won in his life. (He gets all of the credit here) Kinda cool to think about it like that!!!
:cert::cert:
On a somewhat related note, I did like the idea of auctioning it for Tim's family. I will be donating the original "cost" to that very worthy cause.

the original agreement with them was for $275, that included me covering the shipping, so i would have netted about 200. guess i'll have to make something else to replenish my gun,ammo,tool fund. :DAB:

Absolutely did. This board looked good in pictures. But in person, just... wow. Awesome. Absolutely awesome. I can't believe how beefy the thing is!!! My only fear is that Mrs. GTO uses the thing as a weapon someday! :willy:
Thanks Doug. :cheers:

I can't even believe you have to ask that. The answer to that one is easy...
Absolutely!! Love it. :cert:
