Just received some clouche cloth from a friend, so it's time to bake some baguettes.
Find that I also need a flipping board (flipping peel) to load bread from worktable into my oven. I can buy this item on-line for $10 -$20,, but isn't this just a piece of wood that I can find at any Home Depot, cut to size, for about a buck ?
What am I missing that makes this piece of (scrap) wood so expensive on-line??
I’ve heard that some bakers get a piece of that thin wood plank flooring. Anything that is somewhat thin and stiff enough to handle the weight of the dough should work fine.

Picked up a few feet of laminate flooring plank and cut it down. 4 or so years running, and expect it to last another 40. Cost maybe $2-3USD.
I went to Lowe's/HD to the lumber section which has smaller dimensions and finer finishing for crafts...there were good options there...
I have six pieces of 1/4" plywood with the front ends filed down. I don't usually use them as flipping boards as I don't proof on a couche, but use them as peels all the time. Pretty much free as I used scrap wood we had in the workshop.
