Today, as I make my way out to the workshop, ideas are flying around… having looked at the information on lamination design that Scott sent….wow… so many new thoughts are spinning through my head… I had an inkling as to how it was done… but now the technical part is explained…
So, to the shed…..rip, glue, crosscut, glue, crosscut at a different angle and glue again… then sand, sand, and sand some more…
These three boards were made using a design from WoodTurnerPro. [available for free download.]...Can't wait to see how this all works out….although I think I will stop at the second…. for the time being anyway…
NB… I did not make these boards… they are made by WoodTurnerPro… I use them as illustration only…
wow larry…looks like you have been busy being creative, and less time suckin down the kool aid…....themj brain cells are growing back…lol…....oh and dont forget to sand …
Larry, you are unstoppable. Very unique design's with lots of character. I like the border, it remind's me of how the old fashion bread boards were made.

Dang Larry - will you marry me! (bring the cheese boards).
Seriously, those look really neat makes me want to run right out and start one. Of course, I still have all those other designs you've shared to work on.
I went out last night and grabbed the PDF on this project. After a bit of reading my eyes crossed a bit. I dont know how you do it man! Looking at glue up here I see exactaly what you did and how to get these results….just amazing.
Like these huh….what I think would be really cool (on a 1st gen board) would be to come back after chevron glue up and ripin the white about 2" from the chevron on both sides and add in another thin strip of the purple then glue the ripped piceces back on…..
Again not finished …. New Guinea Rosewood with Purple Heart and Antique Hoop Pine Chevrons…
and the one on the left is Silky Oak aka LaceWood with single stripes of Purple Heart…
You may also notice that I have altered the width of cuts… something a little different…
the width change gives it a 3d effect, nice change up. Is the Hoop Pine color variation the heartwood and sapwood mixed? I like the shadow look. Great designs my friend.
