Another display board,this one has a sculpted/wavy surface.It hangs on the wall in my co-workers office.
The background is figured American Sycamore.The inlays and banding are Bloodwood,Walnut,Vemillion,Maple,Cherry,and Purple Heart. I shaped the surface with a grinder and sanders,creating a wavy effect. The finish is Deft lacquer.

I got a little carried away with this one.A lot of pieces…whew!

This is the coolest cutting board I have seen. More like art than utilitarian.

Is that a cutting board. I thought you were going to make a frame for it and hang it on the wall.

Looks like something from Alexander Calder. Yep, this is art in wood. Great piece, Andy

Great looking piece of art. Sounds like a Cutting Board Challenge may be on the horizon?

Thanks guys.
By the way,I have to admit that this one actually does hang on the wall.
There is one caveat regarding ART that I really like…..you can make anything and call it art,and whos to say your wrong :-)
Bill, I think thats a good idea regarding a challenge.Good clean fun.I think boards encourage us to try new ideas,hone our joinery skills and use up some scrap wood in the process.And a weekend is about all it takes.So,you can count me in if someone knows how to get it started.

What fun. That is so cool. Kind of Jackson Pollock meets sycamore.

It reminded of some of the space game maps I look at (and play:) trade routes and soler systems. Pretty cool to look at too.

Andy,

I saw your cutting board on the projects and it is a thing of beauty. I can only aspire to reaching your level of craftmanship and creativity.

Congratulations on such a fine piece of art.

This is truly a work of art and if I could do something close to this I also would hang in on the wall. WOW.

I was thinking Pollock as well

I thought “cutting board” until you mentioned the waves in it.

Im convinced that you are slightly “nuts” and that we need MORE people like you. This is magnificent!. The design, the work, the patience, the end result, bespeak of the true artist. That you work in wood rather than oils is just a quirk. I usually attempt to copy (imitate) the projects that i see posted and love. Not to worry, yours will be UNIQUE for quite a while.
