My influence for this board was the art of the American Southwest. I gave it to my daughter Rachel as an anniversary gift and she displays it on the hutch.
Photo #2 shows the finger recess.
The woods used are: Eastern Maple,Cherry,American Sycamore,Peruvian Walnut,Western Maple,Bloodwood,Wenge,Claro Walnut,Birch,Mahogany,Vermillion and Purpleheart.
This has about six coats of lacquer, because its for serving/show..I prefer mineral oil if the board is going to be used to cut on.

Very unique…reminds me of a native american rug. Don’t think I’d use it either.

WOW ! That is the most gorgeous cutting/serving board I have ever seen! I have made hundreds of cutting boards but none that match that. Great Work.

Astounding! That’s no serving board, that is sculpture.

Hey Andy if you want people to actually use them you’ve got to stop making them look so nice. If I were the owner, the first person to spill something on it would have much restitution to pay.
-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Impressive cutting board – it’s a “cut above” the rest for sure.

I appreciate all your kind comments.
FYI: These are easier to make than they appear.Its alot of careful setup and cutting, but its pretty straight forward.

Andy,
Beautiful board! This demonstrates what musicians call “artistic license.”
