General overview and qualifications
Cutting boards serve as a platform for grinding various foods. Reuse of such products, but for another purpose, will depend on many nuances: appearance, size, functionality.Material of manufacture
The most common are wood products, which are permissible to systematize in the following categories:
- One piece.
- A set of stove from pieces of different breeds.
- Plywood.
- Combined option.
This material allows you to fully show a fantasy of creativity in the manufacture of kitchen items. At the same time, with intensive operation, wood even hard rocks is very short-lived. After all, cutting planes are exposed to sharp knives and even kitchen toporists.
From other common materials, such types should be mentioned:
- Plastic.
- Glass.
- A rock.
All of them have their advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic lung, hygienic, easy to clean. But it does not tolerate high temperatures. In addition, he, like a tree, is not particularly racks to long-term mechanical impacts.
Glass solid, but fragile. When working with it, there is a special flaw: quite sharp sounds from the knife strike along its surface. In addition, excessive hardness leads to regular wear of the blades of the cutting tool.
Exterior form
The simplest view has products from plywood, plastic, glass and stone. Most often it is banal rectangles, circles or ovals.
The planks from the whole piece of wood are already much more diverse. Stylization of forms under natural elements (leaflet of plants, fruit, fungus) or items that are not associated with the kitchen (guitar, rocket) look very original. Also in the colorful embodiment two opposite planes It is advisable to be divided functionally : One working, other decorative, decorated with various art methods:
- Thread.
- Paint paints.
- Burning.
- Milling edge.
The manufacture of cutting boards in the form of sets of several pieces is very common, where each instance is designed for certain products. Most of these products are equipped with a comfortable handle and suspension device.
Reuse
The idea of the new application of old cutting boards will be fully based on the analysis of the above nuances.First of all, if the thing is already decorative enough, you can simply stop using it in direct appointment, consolidating only the role of the interior decoration.
Raising decorativeness
In too simple products, artistic value will have to enhance. Even a conventional plywood cutting plate can be turned into a rather attractive object so as not to throw into the trash. Drawing with paints or decoration with the help of burning will turn it into a picture that is not ashamed to hang on the wall. In the absence of artistic talents, it will be sufficient to portray it with an inscription with an ornamental font, any comic kitchen motto or the popular saying. Relevant in such a picture will be a collage of dining rooms: spoons, forks, knives.
If to one side of the board to attach pockets from the fabric using glue or stapler and hang on the wall, you will get a convenient place to store things that should always be at hand: kitchen tools or spices. If there is a whole set, it is realistic to arrange a real organizer with a specialization of the contents of each pocket.
Contracting practical application
From a small board with a handle to make comfortable sharpening for knives . To do this, it will be necessary to align the worn surface with the help of a handbank or on a planer electric machine. Then it should be saved with its sandpaper paper of the desired grain. You can store such a thing in the kitchen table or suspended on the wall so that the salary working side is not visible. If there is a set of old boards, it makes sense to each separate sample to cover the sandpaper of different varieties.
Easily feasible idea - stand under a hot frying pan. Although new cutting boards are used in this capacity, still adapting an instance for this purpose is much more efficient. Very by the way will be caught one of the sides of the board with fine ceramic tiles. If you try to do it beautiful, you will get another bold plus in the kitchen interior. It will be nice to look like both round or oval coils of a tree branch with a beautiful internal structure.
Plastic and other materials
Glass or stone products wear most often implies chip or cracking. When pumping one corner, you can try to shorten the product with glass cutter.
With full cracking, the practical use of fragments is likely to take place, but this is already a completely different story.
The constituted plastic boards use the same way as wooden is unlikely to succeed. They are few decorativeness. But for those who are engaged in painting, they can be involved as a palette for breeding paints.
Another aesthetic application is a laying stand from plasticine or clay. Especially in the topic it will be for schoolchildren attending various creative circles.
Tourist Mission
Tip for completely impractical and non-tore people - use worn kitchen utensils for direct purpose, but no longer in the walls of your house . For example, as part of the snap in a tourist campaign or on a picnic. Even for cooking on the fire there is a need to crush foods. Worried, but not yet lost its functional destination thing will be here very by the way.
If there are two boards with handles in nature, it is permissible to use even more exotic ways. For example, as tennis rackets for the entertainment game on a privala. Additionally, only the ping-pong ball will be required. With its absence, the pine cone or yeld will come down.
When crossing through water barriers on a homemade raft, cutting powders can serve as elevated. Particular samples are especially suitable for this purpose, resistant to moisture.
