I built this cutting board for my neighbor. It is mostly hickory. I added a little walnut just because it was laying around in my shop. The pink looking wood is some dogwood that I got from the same neighbor.
He had a lot of dogwoods on his land that just died for some reason so rather than burn them he gave them to me. I am still trying to get enough to build me a workbench top out of it. I will post it if I ever get it done.

Clay, this is a gorgeous cutter. You chose a nice set of woods for it construction. This is the first time I have seen dogwood used in a project.
Good luck on finding enough for a bench. Here they seldom get bigger than 1 foot in diameter. And those are not very common.

Nice, solid board. I like the look of the hickory.

Great looking board. Nice use of laying around woods.
