Well, if your mother doesn’t want it…..... I really like the idea of using quilt patterns for the cutting boards. Cool work.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Another very nice board. Love the quilt pattern.

Keep it up.

This might be a project in my future. My wife is an avid quilter and this would make a great gift. Thanks for posting.

I had to really look for the so-called flaws you mentioned… I think you did a fantastic job.

and you learned something for next time! it doesn’t get much better!!

I really like this design..I think I might have to give it a try!

Nice to see some different boards here.

so how did the other ones turn out?

btw, quilters often have the same issues with points!

Ned,
They got tired of waiting and took other boards I made.
I have never made another one of these boards. I might though…

I love this. My mom is a quilter. I’d love to make her one of these.
Curious as to how much you were going to sell it for?

I can’t see the flaws. We are our own worst critics. Looks great!

This is an AWESOME board! I have made a few simple cutting boards but am planning on trying my hand at an end grain one for my wife. This pattern is perfect. Could you explain how you cut the triangles? Thanks!

Lisa,
Just like everyone else, I love this pattern too. AWSOME ! I’ve been an avid fan of woodworking for years, but have only recently been able to make anything. I’ve made two cutting boards and a box so far (will post pics later). I really liked both projects, especially making the cutting boards and would love to make yours. How did you cut the triangles? It looks as if you’ld have to square them oversize, then cut the diagonals or you’ld loose too much in the cut waste. Again since I’m new any tips would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks.

Thanks chuck !
If you look at the pattern closely it is done using squares made from two triangles.
I did a review on some clamps “here”
It shows how the “blocks” are done in two strips of 45 deg cuts glued together then cut to thickness.
Hope this helps,

Lisa
