Inexpensive gems in the paint isle

The “Big Box” hobby stores also have a lot of unfinished items that make a great start to projects.

Dollar stores as well usually have unfinished bamboo cutting boards that you can add your unique flair with… I then finish with beeswax and makes for a perfect gift…

I wonder if those are consistent SKU’s for them or if they change all the time. If they were consistent would it be valuable for us to make Easel templates for each shape?

Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot, Deb. These wood plaques are only carried in select Home Depot Stores and not online. You can check availability in your area by entering your zip code under Store Finder at the top of the screen. If they are not carried in your area, they may be able to special order them for you. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot.

Craft stores such as Michaels and AC Moore also carry some of these items.

The dollar stores do not sell bamboo cutting boards. They are selling the thin flat plastic sheet ones. I have been hitting the goodwill / Thrift stores and found some cheap cutting boards there.
I have not cut them yet. I am still trying to get the system to work properly.
o.O

I have tried over and over again. no dice

Michael’s Arts & Crafts has a lot of stuff like this. I’ve done a bunch of little DIY projects using the wood pieces they have.

It makes me chuckle when you feel the need to correct my sarcastic joke… Thanks for the lesson on bamboo material fabrication though… I feel educated.

No, I missed the winky face, I was distracted by the misspelling of hollow.

There are already common notations for sarcasm, as well as other common idioms.

Have a good one man. Always enjoy the banter with you.

I get bamboo cutting boards at Ikea for about $8 each. 11x18 in size. They work great for engraving signs.
