Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

My wife's younger sister made this cutting board for us as a highschool woodworking project a little over 50 years ago. It got very worn and finally cracked in the middle. We still kept it as a kitchen ornament. I always figured I would rehab it someday. I glued it back together and planed the bottom side then glued a piece of 3/16 ply for strength. Next is surfaced the working side flat and added 6 costs of butcher block finish.

I've been corrected! She was in Jr. High and 12 years old,,,,53 years ago.

I haven't really decided yet. It all started off when I was clearing roads and ran across the tree blocking the road and it was too big to move with my d4. I called a buddy to give a hand and he brought his 661 Stihl and I switched to my d5 that's much heavier and more power.
It could end up as a new woodshed or maybe some log cabin type hunting blind. I'll have to see how the wood is when I get around to milling it.

Woodworking never interested me one bit, but my grandfather loved it, visiting my mom this week. She told me it’s time to take some of my grandfathers stuff back home to MT , I think I’ll be taking these three items back with me

Good looking little Cat. Is that your D4 or D5?
