Negative Mirror Image

Project by degoose posted 140 days ago 572 views 0 times favorited 20 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Just playing around with designs. I cut some Tasmanian Blackwood and some Silver Ash with a 70 and 80 degree bevel and glued them up alternatively from the centre and then cut and rolled to make a butcher block endgrain board. Mirrored but with a negative image! Nice for a small cheese board or for use at the bar. A little slippage in the glue up.. using Titebond III for the first time.. A little longer tack time.. The corners have been rounded.
.
In the background.. something I am doing more of…is a piece of timber I bookmatched from the small sections of logs that the neighbor gave me.. he was burning them and noticed the nice color of the heartwood.. I don’t know the type of timber.. hard to tell from the small sample. But it is definitely a hardwood,, Australian Native of some sort. And it burns well I am told..sacrilege !!

If you look at it long enough patterns “pop” from the board. I see a couple of band saw blades, a Japanese flush cut saw, I think I see a scroll saw blade, and then it after a while it looks like another beautiful cutting board.
Nice work once again Larry.
You say this is the first time for Titebond III, what were you using before?

Hey what’s that teaser board in the background? The round weave board, haven’t seen that one posted yet!

Actually, looking at some of your stuff makes me think of looking up some tapa cloth designs and seeing if those could be worked into a board…

Really cool looking board. The negative image really adds to the visual experience and the need for me to get stronger glasses!! hehehe. Looking forward to see some of that mystery wood in a project.

Another great cutting board. Where do you get the time? Where do you get the skill? Where do you get the wood? And lastly, where do you get the energy?
