Well done! What are the dimensions? Any cook would be proud to have that in their kitchen.

This one looks like a real pain to build. The alignment looks way better than the only one I ever made, years ago, and mine was a simple checkerboard.

This is a very well designed board and would be a welcome addition to any kitchen. Nice choice of complimentary woods as well.

Thanks. It’s 12 3/4” square x 1 1/4” thick. I used Mineral Oil to seal it. Has anyone used that salad bowl finish, is it worth trying?

Looks great. Do you think anyone would use a knife on it?

That came out real nice! I have been experimenting with some fancy designs and I find that if you use Titebond3, and let it tack up a little while aligning the design, then when you apply the clamping pressure do it evenly and slowly things stay put better. But I am intrigued by the pin nail idea..I wonder how that would work…

Hahahahaha! firecaster, I was thinking the same thing. It looks so nice I think people will be afraid to cut on it. I see so many nice cutting boards on here, that is always my first thought. Great job, I love the pattern and look forward to seeing more.

Awesome job and I like the wood combination. I mentioned in my plan gluing 4 or 5 rows at a time to minimize slippage issues but your pin nail ideas sounds like a good idea. thanks for sharing your rendition.

Hey!! I share..and will be posting a few more blogs on some other stuff I have in my head!
As to the slippage. did you have cauls along all four sides when you clamped up?

I bet that is a pain to line up. I have been wanting to try one of these cutting boards but have been lazy the past month since retiring.
