Breadboard with book-matched stripes.

as usual this is stunning, I love how the book matched is sandwiched between the contrasting meranti (im a big fan of using contrasts)

i love titebond III. I wish I could use it. maybe in a month or two…. it has the perfect consistency for a glue.
the timber is fantastic. Does it smell of camphor? I have never heard of this timber. I will have a coupe of nicely grained cutting boards to show soon.

Nah mate,, just going for the corporate look lol.
I too am fond of contrasting and complimentary timbers,

Hello Moshel.. yes the camphor laurel smells like camphor. It is the tree from which they get the oil !
Looking forward to seeing some wavy boards from you!

Out of curiosity, how did it look facegrain? also, what finish did you use?

Just looked like a piece of wood, I didn’t take that much notice.. swirls and wild grain… hard burnishing oil finish,

Beautiful wood

Larry Some beautiful design. The wood looks fantastic. I’ve got a couple of camphor logs but vedery plain looking wood. It completely destroyed a carbide resaw blade on the bandsaw.

The first couple of slices went great and then it got harder and harder and the last slice bairly made it through. I was cutting pen blanks so they were some 3/4” slices about 4” wide.

Corporate as in the new Wee Beasties Spokesperson and major stock holder perhaps ?

The grain is excellent and such a wonderful idea to share with us wannabe cutting board enthusiasts : )

I agree with all the above.

I must be doing something right… SWMBO came up to the shop and claimed this board for the kitchen. So I had to take it off the website. She thinks this is the best board I have ever made and a lot of folks agree so who am I to argue if she wants it.

WOW, Now that SWMBO is happy, you got ‘er made larry ;-) !!
