Love each and every one, interesting and beautiful mixing of woods ! The craftsmanship is top notch as well. Thanks for the look and once more , great job !

Board #2 is my personal favorite…..I wasn’t able to detect the YellowHeart color on my monitor …I thought it was Maple or Holly : ) How thick is this board ?
They’re all great designs and nicely finished.

Thank you for posting these so quickly for me Jeff. That #2 board is everything I was expecting from the little I could so of it in your blog, fantastic!

The others are very well done as well. #5 has a nice look to it not being finished as well.

Hey thanks for the great comments – #2 board is 1-1/2” thick (11-3/4” x 17-1/2”). My photography is really bad so the little Yellowheart strips are a bit washed out…....sorry.

Thanks for the info : )

I like all of them, especially the Holstein board :-))

More functional art at it’s finest Jeff. Your mix of woods is outstanding. Wow!

Very nice indeed. I especially like the handled ones from Woodsmith. Where can I get a set of these plans. I would like to add this design to my inventory for next year. Love the color combinations. The one with the lace wood is very nice.

Jeff, is that a brand? The underscore JL. If so, how about a little info. I need to start branding/marking mine.

Hey Jim – I have a friend with a CNC mill so did I little hoarse trading for the branding iron. I traded the bowling lane board I posted a few weeks ago. Without spending tons of programming time, he can only do basic block letters so it’s kind of plain, but what the heck!

Wow! You have been busy! I love ‘em all.

Number two could be described as a “harlequin” board, given the array of colors. It is is truly unique. I too made the three Shopsmith boards a couple of years ago ( http://lumberjocks.com/projects/20122 ), and I agree about calling the dado cuts on the ends “extreme”. If you look at my boards you will notice that the large one does not have a spline on the bottom end. I was unable to make that cut with my six inch dado set, so I simply rounded off the corners and called it good. Did you use an eight inch dado set or did you somehow make a six inch one work?

-- Rowdy in Kechi, Kansas

Hey Rowdy – I have an 8” dado so I could make the cut, but I had to do it in multiple passes because I don’t have enough horsepower to make a 2” deep dado…........

BTW – those walnut and cherry boards look excellent – beautiful contrast!
