Project Information
This was made as a gift for my Sister's Family. She has reminded me quite a bit that everyone else in the family had a board except for her - not anymore Ang! ;-)
Made out of Walnut, Cherry and American Chestnut.
Measurements are 12.5" x 16" and 1 1/4" thick - 108 Pieces in all.
Yes, this is totally random - you will not find any "secret layout method" on this one Larry, no matter how hard you try! ;-)
Basically it is what I call a "brute force" type of board - cut all the pieces, smooth them up and start gluing one-by-one!
The last image is a screen shot of an Excel Spreadsheet - this is how I plan these kind of boards to get a rough guess of how much stock I will need. I only strayed a small bit from the plans at the very end - not too bad!
Enjoy!
