Beautiful cutting board, great selection of woods.

Beautiful board, Smitty!
The design is very unusual. I really love the wood combinations and how you skewed the last two woods.
You will give Larry a run for his money!

Nice board, I will be posting my first soon, I hope it comes out anywhere as nice as this.

Looks like a great Christmas present idea for my wife. I like it a lot.

The only problem with making your own cutting boards is trying to get people to use them. Everyone will think its too pretty. I made one for my wife and I had to cut on it a LOT before I could get her to use it. Nice job Smitty.

Very nice! I like the angles you applied to the wood. Very striking!

Larry, coming from you, I take that as high praise, thank you very much, but the inspiration came from you and all of your wonderful designs, it gives the rest of us something to strive for, again, THANK YOU.

I thank all of you for your kind words, I really appreciate all the good things you have said.

Ellen, I was planning on not telling Larry, I was going to sneak up on him before he knew what I was doing. LOL

Excellent job !! I’ve got to venture away from the straight and narrow path one day , but I hate to waste the wood by cutting shapes out of it. Your design is awesome though : )
