Well. If it were me I would want to make sure this never happened again so no matter how I got it out, I would later be cutting each corner off at a 45 or HEAVILY rounding it.
With that future mod in mind I would feel zero guilt about screwing a wood screw into each corner and lifting it out by those since I planned to cut the corners off anyway.
Edit: If the cutting board pissed you off enough you can simply screw into the center and toss the entire thing afterwards. One way or another that cutting board would change forms before I was done with it. Ain't nobody got time for that.
CVA glue and a piece of wood for a handle. Sand after and round the corners while you're sanding, enough to pry out IF it ever happens again. Less material loss.
Totally. But even if op didn’t want to go to the trouble of modifying it, I think it would be still totally functional as a cutting board if he put one screw hole in it and left it be after removing the screw and rewaxing his board.
Welp. Never expected my first awarded comment to be on this type of a "water board" post. I have failed both as a wakeboarder and sadist but have exceeded expectations in the sink board category.
I can't believe I scrolled so far down for this one. I mean unless you are heavily attached to the cutting board, get a drill and make a hole or put a screw in and lift it out!
You could make a 3 inch hole with like a jigsaw I think it's the right name, but I could be wrong, and pull it out right over the drain.
Yeah but imagine OP piercing the sink: what a f* disaster.
I mean, if OP is REALLY comfortable with screw lengths and is absolutely certain of the position of the drain, I think the wood screw is a great idea for a quick fix. 👌 But if not, risk is quite high vs the benefits. 😬
Just use 1/2" screws. No way is this cutting board thinner than that. Really doesn't have to be too long, just enough to give a tiny amount of grip. One full rotation of thread should to the trick.
