So my wife asked for some new cutting boards for her birthday so I grabbed some inspiration from LJ for some nifty patterns to try. I guess this one is the Wood Whisperer pattern, though I think I slightly tweaked the center section.

The board is made up of walnut, hard curly maple and jatoba (Brazilian Cherry). It is an end-grain board and was finished using Deft Danish Oil. She loved it of course.

Very nice cutting board!! I really like the center pattern mixed in.

I made a cutting board for my wife that has a similar pattern without the center. I was not sure what to finish it with and used butcher block oil. It looked great when I finished it but as soon as it was washed for the first time the shine went away and now looks very dull. Would you reccomend Deft Danish Oil?

I like the pattern. Very nice looking board.

>MWF – if you haven’t already you might want to look at the wood whisper site. He did a finish on his latest board that looks very durable. I will use in on the board I am currently working on.<

We have not washed ours yet but I told her to keep it out of the dishwasher. We will let it rest a few more days, the finish was applied the same day I gave it to her. I will let you know how it holds up. I recommend DDO for most applications, it is my favorite finish so far.

Well done Rich! I like the pattern tweaking.
I am wondering though, why I like the second photo of the CB
better than the first…more appealing angle maybe?
