lattice cutting board

Very nice job.

The grain of the ash really looks like it is the best choice of woods here. I like it.

Outstanding, I was thinking about making the one from the Wood-whisper using Purple Heart but this one is a bit nicer! do you have any measurements for this or a plan? I’m new to wood working.

That turned out very nice. Great contrasts in wood.

The cutting board is vey nice. I would like to learn more about the technique used to create the pattern.

This is really dramatic! Could you give us an outline of how you glued it up? Because there is no dividing line anywhere in the piece, it looks like it had to be glued as one giant piece, squeezed from both directions simultaneously. That must have been quite a trick.
Congrats on a beautiful piece.

beautiful look you just don’t see anywhere. great job!

Astonishing look. It would pain me to cut on it.

As an extra added touch, it appears as though you cut the ash strips from the same piece and kept the grain going. Nice work of art, not a cutting board.

Check out this posting from some time ago by Tony. It is very descriptive and should answer some of the previous questions about size and process.

Great looking piece of artistry that can also second as a cutting board. Viva la difference.

I’m getting ready to glue up a board of this design and find that its a bit more complex than I thought. Of course if everthing was cut to a perfect 1.500 inches you could pull it all together with two clamps and a board that runs across the entire board. However mine are cut perfect except for a few that got away. Since I have to make 15 of these for the family I know there will be short pieces. This requires ME to put pressure on each piece. That’s (for Me) eleven on one side and seven on the other side. That a total of 18 clamps. Well we know I can’t do that so I’m making a fixture that is 2,- 3/4 MDF pieces glued together forming a 1 1/2” x 2” wide thick board and than I have to cut dado’s every 1 1/2” apart so I only touch one piece of the board at a time. Than I have to apply a piece of rubber on each one to allow for pieces that are .010 or .015” short. Now you say WHAT the HECK is he talking about.
Now I appreciate all the lace cutting boards even more.
Your’s looks perfect and I know now that its not easy to do.
