So, years ago I needed a big surface area in my kitchen where I could cut food, chop vegetables without having to worry about where to set aside what I chopped and don't thrash my countertop.
I also needed a surface where to mix dough without having to worry about space.
So, instead of buying 40€ of cutting board/surface area, I picked up a hobby, spent thousands of euros in tools, built multiple skills (from sharpening, to hand planing, from chiseling, to chopping mortises and dovetailing), watched hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, read a bunch of books about forgotten woodworking styles and techniques, occupied what it should've been my car's garage to amount to this, a chopping board made of European beech and white oak.
I regret nothing.
