Cutting Board
White Oak with Walnut accent
13” x 10” x 1-1/4”
This is a much simpler variation of the tight weave pattern that I did a while back. As long as you are careful to cut the blocks square and to size, this is a comparatively easy glue-up that gives a nice result. The grain direction of the main wood makes it look like two different woods, depending on your viewing angle, and the walnut accent pieces add to the basket weave illusion.
Thanks again for all the kind comments, help, and encouragement y’all have given me along the way!

That is just stunning, Mary Anne. If anyone asks how you did it, you can say, “Oh, I just took the wood and wove it together!” Nice job.

That is a great board!!! There are alot of wild boards on here but if I were too build one for me, this is the type of board I would want to do. Easier on the eyes. Great Job.

Such a perfect illusion , Mary Anne : ) What finish did you use on this one ?

Another great board. I really like the way the grain goes two different directions.
