As always I will put links to some of the things I used at the end of post. Also check out “my attempt” at putting a video together on how to make this.
Materials
Not a lot for this one. I was able to pickup both of the boards I used for this at a local hardware store. You could easily make two or even three of these at the same time for just a slightly longer maple board.
- (1) 3/4″ x 6″ x 6′ Maple Board
- (1) 3/4″ x 2″‘ x 4’ Walnut Board(I only used about a 6″ length for the handle)
Milling & Assembly
Finishing
To finish the peel, I sanded it using a standard low grit, and moved my way up to a 220 grit. I also broke the edges of the peel with sandpaper and gave it a round over look. To finish it I used a product called salad bowl finish. It’s supposed to be safe for wood that comes into contact with food. I applied five coats to the peel.
Finishing the Pizza Peel, I used five coats of salad bowl finish.
