Making a Pizza Peel

I bought a pizza oven a while ago and ever since I’ve wanted to make a pizza peel to go with it. I start by cutting my wood to width on the table saw. Then cut to length on the miter saw. If you’re going to make one make sure your handle piece is wider than you plan on it finishing. Mine is all curves and I want everything to flow together. So if you want the same I cut all my pieces at 2”. After my pieces are cut I arrange them to look good. Using a couple cabinet maker clamps and some glue from ‪@Titebond‬ I make a pizza peel panel. I’m using cut off scraps from different projects so I want to make sure one side is flat so I can plane it down after. I also like to clean off glue squeeze out as much as possible when I do glue ups. Once I got my blank peel ready to start laying it out. I make sure to find the center of my handle so everything can come out symmetrical. I wanted the peel to look more curvy and round so I used a large kitchen bowl and some bottles to get the shape I wanted. I jump over to the bandsaw to cut out my shape. Note if you don’t have a bandsaw a jigsaw would work too. I smooth out the shape on the oscillating sander. This was really helpful with all the inside rounds I had. A quick round over all around before I layout the large bevel on the front. I had to play with this a bit. I started small and went bigger as needed. I’m sure there is some scientific math problem to do this but I still bang two rocks together to solve my problems. This being curved the way it is I chose to use a flap disc to carve the front down. Note that if you don’t use an angle grinder often I’d use 40 or 60 grit sandpaper instead. Take small passes at it and don’t rush it. I took the bevel all the way to the bottom bringing it to a sharp point that if not carful can change the shape of the peel. Now that I got my shapes all done it’s time to sand it. I do the standard sand through the grits method. I forgot I needed a hole in the handle to hang it when not in use. I quick trip to the drill press and it was good to go. Note that I should have drilled the hole before the router process and done everything together but I’m just stumbling through projects here. Wanted to add a little laser etching to the piece. So I made a little pizza logo to burn into it. For finish I’m using ‪@rmpfinishes‬ tung oil. This peel is going to see some use and I want a food safe finish I can reapply with out having to sand it down every time. I love how the oil made this grain pop. With the peel all done it’s time to put it to use. As you can see it works great. I’d say the bevel angle on the front could’ve been a bit steeper but I’m very happy with the build. I’d love to see yours if you make one. Let me know what you think in the comments. Till next time.
