Those ribbons of curly wood really stand out. Fantastic job!

Good looking board. Too bad you have to let it air outside before using.

A very nice looking board, what is the accent (orange) wood? and I’ve never heard of Boos “mystery oil” . Have you ever tried bees wax and mineral oil that are blended together?

-- Dan Wiggins

Thanks Miket : )
Thanks Karson …fortunately it won’t be here for long : ) The customer said that is the oil they prefer , so I think I’ll give them the bottle as a special gift ! hahahaa I thought BLO was stinky stuff until I used this stuff..

Thanks Dan .Not only is it “mystery” oil , but “Authentic Mystery Oil ”. It’s from Boos Butcher Block Co.

Beautiful!! Dusty you should do a US flag!! Blood wood, tiger maple, and blue dye for the corner!

Classy looking board!
I usually use titebond III for cutting boards, I like the increased water resistence it claims.
Of course boards as pretty as yours probably won’t get imersed in water very often.
Thanks for shareing.

Dusty,
I second the comment on the curling wood for the design, it really looks nice. I think that a rounded corner might made the board a little friendlier.

Okay, dont want to sound like that dumb blond, but I dont get it. I would paint the stripes. Much easier for me. I do agree though, you need to do the flag. I think this looks great!

Hi robbinscabin , sorry but this was a commissioned piece for a housewarming gift . thanks for the comment : )
Hello cabinetmaster , Thank you for the nice comments : )
Hi Matt ..sounds like a great idea for a contest : )
Hi Tim P. I’m hoping to finish this gallon of TB II soon and possibly switch over to TB III even though the TB II has never failed me to date. I don’t know which one has the longer open time or better tack rate , but I’ll find out before switching over. I furnish all of my customers Care instructions for their boards. #1 on the list is to NEVER leave the board submerged or put it in the dishwasher !
Hello alholstein , Thanks for the compliment. The corner design is the customers choice . They have clipped corners on all of their countertops and kitchen island as well . I offer several custom corners and profiles to my clients and let them decide : )
Hello rosewood , I’m waiting for you to send some of your local , beautiful Rosewood to make into a board ! Thank you for the compliment : )
Hi Janice…LOL regarding painting the stripes on a cutting board : ) Thank you for the compliment : )

Very striking,simple design, but stunning because of the wood selection.
Always let the wood do the talking.
