I’m impressed too. I’ve had my bandsaw way longer than you have and I haven’t done anything like this. Really nice job on these. I expect we’ll be seeing more great stuff off your bandsaw in the future.

poroskywood,
Nice looking cutting boards. I too have a Grizzly bandsaw the 21” model and love it, though I have yet to make a cutting board either-LOL. Is your new saw the 19” or 17” model? It looks so much like mine it’s not funny. I have used it to slice some mighty thin banding I’ve made on it, some being only 3/64” thick with great success so far. That insert for the blade is quite fragile, or was on mine it got replaced with shop made ones the second day I had my new saw. I’m sure you’re probably aware of the Wood Slicer blades sold at Highland wood working, they work wonders on those Grizzly bandsaws. Congratulations again on the nice cutting boards and the new saw.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Cool, wine and cheese go good together, with this cutting board no need for too much wine.

It’s a 19” GO514×2 I’m learning about drift and adjusting my fence today. What a blast.
I was not aware I should look into Woodslicer blades, I got a 1” 3tpi and a 1/2” Timberwolf for general purpose, after reading some other posts. I wouldn’t know the difference if you hit me in the head with 40 lbs. of it.

Nicely done!

Dude, either I have to lighten up on the dizzy pills, or that board came out AWESOME!!!

When you start cranking out some wild jigs and stuff, take pictures so those of us with two left thumbs can ride your crest.
Speaking of thumbs, remember to “tuck’em in”........

Thanks for sharing!

Really neat. Hard to spot any mistake in those. You guys really hurt me when you show your big Grizzlys and I’m standin here with my little 14” Ridgid. LOL

-- Dudley Young USN Ret.

Very cool design and construction.

-- Bob A in NJ

Congrats on the saw, nice looking boards.

-- CJIII Future cabinetmaker

Wow I love those new boards !! Hope you dont mind if I borrow your design a bit? I just gotta try one or two!! And isnt that a form of flattery anyways? :- )

-- Jimi _ Measure twice, cut once.......@#%#$@!!!......measure twice, cut....

Now don’t thank you, I was watching your wonderful cutting board and didn’t realize my wife was behind me :

Her : Oh, that’s nice
Me : indeed, <click>
Her : isn’t that the same bandsaw that you have
Me : hum, seems like it, <click>
Her : well his cutting boards looks much better than yours…
Me : <add>, You’ll find me in the workshop

I know what I’ll be doing next…

Thanks a lot for sharing

Hey Scott
They look great congrats on the new saw . Just wondering were did you get that beautiful figured wood?
:-))

Of coarse the design was inspired by Larry and his drunken chess board. However, (by accident) I have discovered that there are two different results that can occur while making the second set of cuts. The first board above is one of the results a “Alice in Wonderland” off drunken checker design and the other more like Larry’s, a smooth flowing drunken checker pattern. If there is interest I may do my first how to blog on the subject, demonstrating the difference.

This is awesome work. I love it. I would like the learn more of how you went about this…

Thanks for sharing!

-- Matt, Arizona

I, for one, would be interested in learning more about the serendipity of the first board.
I never let a chance go by to learn more of the art of woodworking.
This is what David aka patron and I have been advocating for some time.
Move out of your comfort zone.. take what is offered and change it.
Scott, you and a few others have taken that challenge and I know you would be the first to acknowledge that this is a scary but satifying thing to do.
I salute You.
I am a little jealous of that very big bandsaw you now have to play with.
I, on the other hand, have to settle for playing with my new Jet Perfomax 16/32 drum sander which should arrive in the morning.
Keep up the good work.
Larry

Nice work Scott. To be that curvy and still accurate on the glue-up is indeed a work of a genius. I’d be happy if my right angles turned out that nice.
