DIY Wood Slice Serving Board

Sharing is caring!

This week I set aside some time to get creative. I’ve been able to get in a lot of computer time while home schooling the kids, but it hasn’t been as easy to get projects done during all of this. But you know what, it felt SO good. Letting those creative juices flow and getting in my zone is just what I needed. If you are in need of the same thing, I am sharing this quick DIY wood slice serving board project today. It only took me about 30 minutes to make!

I’m also joining quite a few other bloggers as we all share upcycled DIY projects today. To keep scrolling down to see them all!

Like most of you, I don’t have the luxury of heading to the craft store to grab supplies whenever I want, so I headed to the garage to see what I could find to work with. I made this tray using 100% left over materials from other projects and I LOVE that. I will link everything for you below though so you can order everything!

Sitting out here has been a little escape for me. It’s still a little cooler out up here but I have really enjoyed putting the fire on and relaxing a bit… I mean 10-30 minutes depending on how long it takes the kids to find me ;)

PS. You can see more of our spring porch decor here.

I found this large wood slice in my project supplies. You can also use one you cut yourself from an old log. You will just want to sand it down quite a bit so it’s smooth. This was already done for me!

After the surface is smooth and prepared, you’ll want to seal the wood to make it food safe and so it doesn’t stain as easily. I used this Butcher Block Food Safe Oil. You apply using a circular motion and keep applying until the entire surface is covered and even. I probably put 4 coats on since this was the first application and the wood really absorbed it.

Let it dry a bit and then add the leather handles. You can make these a variety of ways. Like I said before, I was using only things I found in my craft supplies so I was limited with these pieces. You want to make sure you use thicker Leather Straps so they stand up and are sturdy.

*NOTE: I also suggest adding a little wood glue or super glue under the tacks to make them more secure.

I almost personalize it with our last name with the wood burning tool, but decided it was better just clean and simple.

I decided to use mine as a charcuterie board, but you could also use it as a simple tray to put vases or flowers on!

Now shhhh, don’t tell the kids I’ll be out here for awhile getting some peace and quiet!

When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between When we moved in, we didn’t have a door between our bedroom and bathroom. So we  decided to install a modern barn door over the large opening to be able to block it off. Practical and adds dimension!

I love that each of our kids have requested a read I love that each of our kids have requested a reading corner from in their rooms. While they don’t always read here, it’s always nice to walk in and find them relaxing, playing on games or electronics and feeling like they have a space of their own that they helped create! And I must say, I’ve spent some time in this chair while we do homeschool and it’s pretty cozy!

Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing Ready for a good before and after?! It’s amazing how much this section of our family room has changed this year and also with just three changes. I took out the carpet and installed hardwoods, did a German Schmear on the stone and covered our existing mantel! That’s it! It’s crazy how much it changed the look. Ok, and we moved the tv to the wall and replaced it with a mirror, so four changes 😉.

I’ve been working on the small finishing details I’ve been working on the small finishing details in this room all week, the things I put off doing forever and honestly really have no patience for 😂 but they have to get done. Like adding quarter round, wood filler, caulking, and making things looks more polished. It’s not very exciting but necessary! Hoping to get starting on some new stuff soon!

Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box Happy Friday! Did you know I do a weekend Q&A box in my stories every Friday night?! If you ever need a link or have a question about a space, product or just general question for me, this is the best time to ask! Sometimes it’s hard to see every question in comments (especially if they are on older posts) and IG really needs to update the messaging system so it’s easier to organize 😅. Just wanted to share that here in case you haven’t seen it!
