Project Information
What do you do when you have amassed various small pieces of beautiful exotic hardwoods too small for any furniture project? You build a one of a kind seriously intricate end grain cutting board.
After a full year of building numerous large projects I had again amassed a treasure trove of beautifuly figured exotic hardwoods. I don't normally build cutting boards but when my treasure box begins to overflow I like to create what I call global cutting boards. As you can see from the pictures, the board is constructed of hundreds of pieces of multiple species of hardwoods. I call this a global cutting board because different species of wood used in its construction come from 3 different continents. Woods used include:
Zebrawood
Bubinga
Purple Heart
Padauk
Figured Black Walnut
Quilted Maple
Koa
Figured Cherry
Quartersawn Wenge
Quartersawn Sapele
African Mahogany
Genuine Mahogany
Sipo Mahogany
Birdseye Maple
Ambrosia Maple
The board measures approximately 20" long x 13.5" wide x 1 3/4" thick and features side lifting grooves to allow for easy moment around the kitchen.
