I had a blast looking around... but I have to admit, her projects tend to be much more feminine than anything I'd usually do. Candleholders and such. I got tired of looking after searching the first few pages.
Honestly with all the wood I have laying around, I could just trace out the shape of a cutting board and cut it out w/ a jigsaw. That'd be no $ at all - that's of course if I planned on painting the board, not staining it. It might be harder to create a realistic-looking cutting board out of one piece of wood if one could actually see the grain. A real cutting board is made from slats of wood, not one piece, obviously. See how she's distressed the paint job? Very nice. I really want to get into that. Especially using milk paint. She didn't, but it produces similar results. Very beautiful colors that lend themselves well to antiques.
The Scrabble tray that the tablet rests on could be something as simple as a length of funky moulding from Lowe's. The wedge that acts as a stand = another random piece of wood. And for this kind of project you really wouldn't need anothing more than a good wood glue. I trust Titebond III. And according to the manufacturer, it's FDA food-safe, in case you're gluing together a cutting board or any other food...ish surface.
