Can you Bear another cutting board?

hahha…that is really cool…and colder on that white stuff—-what is that???

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

very unique Dennis, maybe you’ve started something for a new design competition, “The-not-your-normal-cutting board” here at LJ.

Zuni Bear Fetish cutting boards…Dennis there is some rich gal in Scottsdale,Taos or Albuquerque that wants to drop $250 on this for you. Need to get you wired into those SW folks.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Nice cutting board Dennis. I like the different style. Maybe you are on to something there.

I don’t want Dennis getting wired into the SW folks… take all my business away… It’s hard times… :-)

Dennis, nice job man. Very sweetly made.

Regards, JM

Dennis, I must admit I’m pretty sick of looking at cutting boards, but this one is one is great! I mean….... it bear-ly even looks like a cutting board.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Good imagination and design. Bet you sparked some folks out there, besides myself.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

once again Dennis creates a piece of art! Awesome.
I’m sure there is some Native story being told in the design. I really like it!!

Dennis, this is a unique design and a nice way to use those offcuts they seem to lie around the shop for eons.

Nice job.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Nice board. I like it.

Now Dennis can start the whole bear family, and use up more scrap wood. Then there are birds and other animals too….a whole nature scene

Great Dennia. A very nice board.

That’s right Bill. I’ll call it the Goldilocks collection. This cutting board is too small, this one is tooooo big….
Thanks for your comments!

very well done … reveals your artistic side

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

A very nice design to change from the ordinary. Nice work.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

great pattern look. I like it.

-- making sawdust....

May be a cutting board Dennis – but it sure is a different one – great job!! You have snow out North of Jerome, heck we are in the sun belt South of town – been in the mid 30’s – maybe I can send you some sun shine tomorrow.

Oh yeah, gotta grin and BEAR it!! That is a dandy, Dennis. Aint’t it fun to get to use up those scraps and do some of those things you’ve always wanted to do?? I might be poor but I’se a havin’ fun!!!

-- Thos. Angle

Very novel approach to a project that can easily be mundane. Thanks for sharing

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Wow, that’s really nice, Dennis! I don’t know if I could use a knife on that!

Hi Dennis;

Nice looking job.

Maybe you have found your niche market.

There are some people who would pay dearly for things like that.

An artist sees the unique in the ordinary. The shape and the offset of the rays are really slick.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Well I don’t know how you managed to shuffle the pieces and “bearly” upset the grain pattern in the Cherry…Still scratching my head over that one . I’ve got to compliment you on your photography skills as much as your craftsmanship on this project : ) They are both excellent ! How big is this critter anyway ? And the finish is ??
