Covering for OSB cutting table top
Hello,
I am making a cutting table using 2 of the better homes and gardens 4 cube shelf organizers from Walmart. My table top is a piece of OSB board 40"x 50". I want to cover the board with something instead of the bare surface shoeing since my cutting mat is only 36"x 24". I was thinking of contact paper, but wonder if there are other ideas out there.
Thanks

For something quick and inexpensive, how about a nice vinyl flannel backed table cloth...you could wrap the OSB like a package and staple gun it on the under side......and replace it easily and cheaply whenever you needed to.

I did think of counter top material but wonder if I could get a small piece as the top is 40" x 50". Never thought of making it a big iron surface like Sharon Schamber's pressing board. I have made several of those.
The flannel backed tablecloth is also a great idea. Thanks for the suggestions.

I would put laminate on it (Formica, Pionite, Nevamar, etc). OSB is rough, can't really clean it and it delaminates w/moisture. You can go to one of the big box home improvement stores and you can order exactly what you want. I have a large cutting board 36" x 60" and the ironing cover for it. Love it.

I have a 60X80 table on large caster that I had made to use for my home dec sewing that I used to do. I put an old wool blanket and some cotton batting on it, then covered it with the Teflon coated ironing board fabric. I stapled it down under the edges of the table. On one end I lay my 32X60 cutting mat. That way I can take it off when ironing or laying out quilts and backings.

I'm using a VERY old folding table with a wood top as a cutting board. It's sitting on four 3 lb. coffee cans to bring it up to the height I want. Covered it with some old naugahyde. (don't think I spelled that right) Anyhow, it's easy to wipe clean.
