This is my favorite Cutting board and I’ve been wanting to try one. This is a project I owe directly to LumberJocks, and degoose Thanks! I had a lot of fun making these up and it was a real lesson in accuracy mostly cutting on the crosscut sled. They are roughly 12” square and are made from Curly Hard Maple, Walnut and Cherry. I can see how the combinations of wood could be endless and I will probably change it up on future boards. Helpful tip: It took Two 30” glued up strips of the Maple and Walnut and one Cherry to make one board (I ended up with enough for three so I went a little over board). The first board I did had a few tiny gaps so I fine tuned my sled and the next two came out tight and nice. I used a homemade thin strip jig to rip the HM and Walnut I got the idea here Thanks David my jig was a little cruder. Glue up consisted of 16 bar clamps, one bottle of Titebond III, and six beers all in honor of the Chairman! Turns out there is a simple way to glue these up but I just had to make it difficult for myself.

Scott, this is a nice board. It certainly does look like it would be a challenge and I have been meaning to do one of these as well. So thanks for the inspiration.

Scott, you have done yourself proud!!! Is ‘curly hard maple ’ the name of ‘your’ band lol And you got a three for one! Fantastic choice of timber and well made even if you had to use the 16 clamp and 6 beer method.. Your joints are very tight and that shows the craftsmanship that goes into a good, no, great woven board. Thanks Scott, and David too..

Scott, these turned out beautifully. Amazing work. My wife (after seeing these) is starting to get what woodworking is all about. She’ll never become an LJ, but she enjoys looking over my shoulder and asking me why I can’t works of art like these. I tell her that I need more power tools and garage time. To which she replies, “ok nevermind.”
