How To Make A Spooky Cutting Board That Glows In The Dark

ADVERTISEMENT

Interested in using some creativity to make a Glow in the Dark cutting board/serving platter? My new DIY project instructions will show you how!

I run an Etsy store called “Cutting Boredom,” and I am constantly trying to think of ways to create amazing DIY cutting boards that make as fun of a display item as it does a useful thing!

This fun DIY board is made from Walnut, with wood carving done by a Co2 Laser. A photoluminescent powder mixed with a 2 part wood resin creates the glowing effect and a perfectly smooth top surface that makes a great serving tray or display. The backside is left blank for you do to the “dirty work.” This is fairly easy to create, as long as you have access to a CNC router, laser, or you are skilled with a router!

Please check out my instructable for step by step instruction on how this DIY project for home was done! If you’d like to see any of my other unique design boards, please see me on Instagram or facebook @oliverstuff!

Using photoluminescent resin, this Cutting Board is surprisingly easy to create

What a great idea - and so creative! Thanks for showing how this is done, but I also want to buy one from your Etsy shop.
