Stained Glass & Mosaics

Huge glass cutting boards good for anything?

16 years ago

I found 2 (but didn't buy) glass "Surface Saver" things today at the thrift. They were huge- desk blotter sized glass things. The same rough-texture glass material that glass cutting boards are made out of.

But they were heavy.

Very heavy.

So to add more glass & grout for a GOG to these would make them SUPER heavy.

They had no hangar thingies, but had little rubber feet.

What would you do with these?

I have one of those. It's just too heavy to use for anything other than a cutting board. ( in my opinion)
Maybe someone else can think of something. I'll be watching this post for ideas.
