taking a jab at some cutting boards

Project by EricW posted 410 days ago 1122 views 5 times favorited 20 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Hey everyone, I’m new to lumber jocks, so this is my first post…

I made these cutting boards maybe a year ago… it was my first try at using hardwoods, let alone a cutting board. At the time, i only had a chop saw and a belt sander. (although since i graduated high school and have a job, i now have a full shop.)

I realize that the first one is not really exact.. i hadn’t gotten the dimensions just right for the correct look yet. It’s been hit and miss.

the first is made with bubinga and maple, the grouping of 3 are made with a combination of padauk, purpleheart, and red oak. The 3rd board is made with narra and maple.

-Eric

Very eye catching design! The illusions of the first cutting board are great.

What the hell is going on here my eyes I can’t see staight. Oh it the way you made the board. Do you look at this and fall into a trance. It must have been diffcult to finish not knowing where the end was.
How do you LJ’s think up this stuff. Than make it.
Now that’s what I call eye popping….

Very nice designs! The optical illusions are quite mezmerizing. I like the simplicity and the intricacy of the designs.
