Home Made Slate Cheese Board.

1. 1

   ["Get some black slate tiles. Home Depot and Lowes has them a few dollars each.

2. 2

   Choose ones that are chipped a bit or have some texture on the surface. I think they look better for cheese plates when they're a bit rough.

3. 3

   Some custom tile places might have larger sizes and broken tiles which are perfect for this project.", "Wash and let them dry over night. Put them in a 200 degree oven and turn it over to get them very dry.", "Put a just a bit of the Mineral Oil on a dust free cloth. Go very light. Rub that into the slate. Let it dry a day or two and repeat. Do this about three time. Remember to use very light coats or the oil will clump up.", "Let it dry a few days to harden. Wrap this up with kitchen twine and include a box of dust free chalk.

4. 4

   Use the chalk to write the names of the cheeses and meats on the board.

5. 5

   Food Grade Mineral Oil can be found at most drug stores near the laxative section."]
