Been in Wickes, and they are selling off tiles. They have 400x400mm bluey
grey granite at ?4 each. This gave me an idea; might make a cheeseboard
by
sticking four rubber feet on the underside, or cut 100mm strips to line a
bathroom ledge. Fine, but the edges are cleanly cut, quite sharp, and
unpolished.

I can't understand why marble / granite / glass cutting boards are made -
okay they look good but they're the best way to knacker an expensive knife.
Rubberwood is your mate in these situations, or tacky plastic. Doesn't look
as nice, but functionally better.

Nice soft pine.
Whip over it every few weeks with a cabinet scraper to keep it from getting
tatty.
