Keep an eye out for renovations or demolition around town, then either speak to the workers and ask politely for a cutting-board sized slab of discarded wood, or raid the skip when no-one is there. If you've got a saw, a planer and a sander you can make one up in about an hour. Then just treat it a handful of times with cooking oil and you're good to go. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) Saw, plane, sander, time invested.
