Magnolia cutting board

I really like the pattern of the wood and the cherry is a nice touch. Nicely done.

I don’t know anything about the durability, but it sure is beautiful!

Beautiful board. The way it’s put together, it looks like it was “created” that way as a single board almost. Maybe it’s my brain after a long work day.

I love the look of the Magnolia. If it is durable enough I’d say go for the counter top. You might also check about how much the wood moves over time. It might be beautiful and look fantastic but if it starts to fold up and warp after a year or two you could be in for a lot of repeat labor.

I’ll have to keep my eyes open for some of that wood for my projects.

Great looking board. I have turned some large bowls with Magnolia and they seem quite stable and durable. My wife has used them regularly for about 18 years. I wish I could get more of it.

Thanks for all the comments. The board id finished with just mineral oil. Talked about poly or epoxy for the countertop.

Man – that’s some lumber! Great job.

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

That looks gorgeous. Good to see what Magnolia looks like. Cheers.

That will make a wonderful countertop. Please post the photos when it’s built.
