Basically $3 per person and most of that is cheese.

Pizza 1: honey ham, home grown bell pepper, mushroom.

Pizza 2: pepperoni, mushroom, olive, banana pepper.

Cutting board: made from poplar. Made from passive aggressive spite. You should never frame a board like this one is. The normal swelling of wood as it absorbs and sheds humidity will cause it to snap itself apart. It was made in 2019 to test if a thin enough board could survive. I have only ever used it for cutting pizza because poplar is soft for a hard wood and every knife and pizza cutter leaves a mark. It's great for end grain boards but not face or edge grain.

Anyway, the board refuses to break despite more than 200 pizzas.

Lure me into the post with pizza, stay for the woodworking talk. Well played! (The cutting board looks great!)

Dang, some delicious looking pizza with a little woodworking info thrown in? :O

The pizza looks delicious! Please share your dough recipe.

It's that standard "5 minute no kneed artisan bread" recipe that lets you keep the dough in the fridge for 2 weeks. Towards the end of the clock it makes a better pizza dough than bread loaf. I'll mix up a four unit batch and use it for whatever over a week or two.

Mmm pepperoni mushroom and banana peppers is one of my favorite combos, with lots of parmesan on top

Poplar is pretty much only good for burning.

Seriously, try it for end grain. It also makes nice boxes.

I built kitchen cabinet carcasses out of poplar plywood once. Dumbest idea ever.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah. That would be very bad. Maple or pine are the ways to go. Depending on how long you want it to last. But never poplar for a kitchen. Like I said. Boxes. End grain.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Particle board only on the carcasses. Dimensionally stable, not humidity dependent (unless you get it actually wet for a while). I gave up on plywood unless maybe Baltic birch for cabinetry.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

This is the first year in a few that my house has had any real humidity control. My 40 (80?) year old ply pine cabinets are suffering a little. I would never dream of using particle board.

But Baltic bitch is definitely an option.

Baltic bitch

I know this is "birch", but it still made me laugh.
