Nice grain orientation, the frame adds an attractive quality to an already beautiful cutting board.

Nice board!!! Interesting idea to use the sap wood to your advantage.

I bet in person your board is REALLY good looking .I for one use sap wood a lot to accent with .Even over the web your creation is darn gorgeous .

Great eye for complimenting the woods and grain flows… very eloquent. Too nice to be used.

Holy Cow. What a terrific looking board. I have got to try some of this end grain stuff myself. I guess I need to really start looking at the wood and try to visualize it more than I do. This one is terrific.

Thanks, Yeah Rob, in person the board is off the scale OMG I was excited to post it and let down in the translation from real life to the web.

dustyal: Now you sound just like the last 100 potential customers to which I reply “The beauty part of this board is you can cut on one side and display the other. Which makes this a versatile kitchen tool and the centerpiece for your kitchen counter top.”

I think I may try a Ambrosia Maple End Grain next just for giggles.

Very nice work, I love the look of curly maple, always have and the walnut endgrain looks great with it.

Nice looking board you have created there… Good use of contrasting woods and I like the symetry you created in the dark wood… Very well done…

How big are the pieces of end grain that you cut and how thick is this cutting board? I have never done one like this but I must try.

Just beautiful!

Very interesting. It has a rich luxurious look and feel to it.

Jerry, I ripped random width strips of walnut from a board with sap wood on the edges, I cut them 30” long, glued them back together in a 18” x 30” blank, planed to 7/8” and cut the end grain strips 1 5/8” thick, for a finished product of 1 1/2”.

You created such a unique design with using the sapwood. Great idea and well done.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

That’s wild looking. Dark and ominous. I bet it strikes fear in the hearts of any knife-fearing vegetable. I like the frame of curly. Very interesting look.

-- Measure, cut, curse, repeat.

Very, very impressive. Great choice of wood and excellent design/assembly. That there is one fantastic board.
