End Grain Cutting Board

I looked slowly and couldn’t tell! Great piece Josh. Beautiful wood and execution. Thanks for sharing.

this is really nice. Such a piece is on my “to do” list.

Josh -

Sweet! That was a great set of episodes on the Woodwhisperer. Excellent job!

Definitely on my ‘to-do’ list also. I really love the purpleheart, it’s one of my all time favorites for bowls, pens and flutes. Great looking board Josh!

Beautiful piece! You almost ended up with a cutting board you could play chess on. :-)

It truly is a nice item.
At the Wood Show in Jan where our guild has a display I was surprised that the end grain cutting boards took first place in the “other” category, Plus they got a number of “best of show” votes.
Yours is nicer IMHO because of the way the eye follows the curves, not just linear.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Nice project. I like how you made the hand holds.

Josh,the is terrific. When I first saw Mark’s video on making this I said to myself this is something I just have to make. Thanks for the reminder.

That really came out great Josh! Nice work. And I really like your placement of the routed hand holds. Can I steal that idea for my next one? :)

Good job, Josh. I made some end grain cutting boards for my friends last holiday season. Your cutting boards turned out great. I know what it takes to make that style of cutting board. You did a great job – super project.

Bill – I am up to the challenge of cutting boards. LOL

Beautiful job Josh,
When I first looked at the image, it kind of reminded me of an optical illusion. The routed ends cause the lines to look bent. Cool !

Great job Josh. How did you get those hand holds in there? Router?

Thanks guys, ive made a few more since. will make good mothers day gifts.

Panamajack, Yes i used a v groove bit in the router.

Congratulations Josh, TWW wants to use your idea of the finger grooves. A nice compliment indeed.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

nice indeed! I like the finger grooves too and will try to remember to add that feature. I have 6 WoodWhisperer boards in the works right now, don’t have enough clamps to get them done as fast as I’d like, plus my drum sander needs a new feed belt <sigh>.

Great looking cutting boards,... or an interesting new spin on chess!
