Beautiful! Love the dark legs on the corners! I have thought about framing end grain cutting boards, but talk my self out of it from concerns about expansion resulting in separation. Any comments on this?

Wow this looks great!!

Newbie question – Would there be any concern about splitting/cracking on something this size due to the grain direction differences of the checkered center and the aprons?

Just my lack of culinary awareness – but what would make this a Sushi board? Is it a target size?

I know when I get Sushi it comes on a board about 4 inches wide and 10 inches long with a small bowl for wasabi and soy sauce.
I like the look of it the ebonized legs and spalted frame are a nice touch.

Ive had some questions about wrapping the board concerning seasonal movement. To be honest Ive never made on this way but with careful application of glue I think movement will be minimal in regards to the maple moving from the board itself. Im open to any suggestions.
Thanks!

Wow, Beautiful! The legs and wrap are Great! a wonderful look.

So.. I did a end grain Black Walnut I wraped the end grain board in 2” of flatsawn Walnut. It held up great in the shop and in the house After two weeks of heavy use, I think as the beeswax and min. oil wore off and it took on moisture the end grain expanded and blew apart the sides. I ended up cutting them off and just going with the endgrain which was fine. I hope this turns out better for you, this is so nice, I’m a little worried.
