A client asked my 1 week ago if I could make her a 20” x 20” chopping block for her by November 7th. Here it is. Sugar maple and black cherry from Eastern Canada. 3” thick. Good clients get great service.

I love it. Thats a very substantial end grain cutting block. Nice.
Did you use a finish on it?

Nice, I never thought of molding the sides.

Geesh, I hope your client has help for lifiting it. It has to weigh at least 25 lbs. She could carve up a side of beef on that slab. One thing is for sure, she will never wear it out. Nice job.
