This came out of one of the woodworking magazines. I’ve been making a lot of end grain cutting boards lately for people, and needed something fun to build. The body is QD white oak, and the top is white oak that was painted a burnt amber color. The insert is made out of zebra wood, and the whole think was finished with a oil blend. The cord and socket came from Home Depot. It has a 7 watt bulb which give off a nice glow at night.

That is great. It is simple yet refined. Great wood choice. Beautiful finish.

Beautiful! I love your wood choices, they go well together. How did you cut the square holes? Drill then chisel? Thanks

very nice. Do these have a specific room waiting for them or was it simply to change from cutting boards?

Each side is cut into three pieces. I used a dado blade to cut the square hole. Then glued the three pieces back together. Bill I’ll take a picture with the light on when I get back home. Thanks for the comments.Thanks again!
