This is my first cutting board – I based it on the Wood Whisperer method, but with a twist. I ripped the first pieces on angle. IMO it looks a lot cooler than a plain checkerboard, although the first glue-up is a little more difficult since the pieces try to slide against each other.
Hard Maple and Purpleheart, 10”x12” and 1.25” thick.
Finished with mineral oil and wax.

Yes a great design. Just don’t go to use it after a few drinks.

Very cool. Can you post the dimensions of the milled stock? What angle did you use to rip it?

newTim,
I started with 6” wide pieces of 8/4 lumber and milled it down to 1.5” thick, and then ripped the strips at around a 70 degree angle (no rhyme or reason to that, just eyeballed what looked right).
