My first attempt at an end grain cutting board/block. It is 1” x 9 1/4” x 10 1/2”. I liked the contrast of the greenish poplar against the dark walnut. I sealed it with mineral oil. To help plane this small board I glued longer (14”) end pieces and then trimmed them off after running thru the planer – which prevented the planer from digging in (cupping I cannot recall the exact term – but you all know what I mean) as the board comes out.

It’s called snipe, and may be able to be reduced or eliminated by setting the outer edge of the planer’s outfeed table about 1/16” inch higher than level.
Good work!

Thanks Kewald, I knew there was a specific word (snipe) for it. I’ll try your remedy. This site is full of wisdom and experience. Why reinvent the wheel! Thanks
