Yeah, I joined the Spagnuolo club. WTF, it’s a fun project and I get better with every one I make. The other one…I like the design but I have to work on it a bit more to make it a bit better. They’re fun to make…especially if one has a friend with a wide-belt sander.

Both are maple and walnut.

Very nice design. And what does this board have to do with the S.L. Rams.

That looks cool. I never made a cutting board. It looks like fun.

-- Have a great day.

I wish I had a friend with a belt sander! Cutting boards have lost their appeal to me until I can buy one. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a bunch to make for Christmas gifts. Just means I am not nearly as excited about it.

I really like this design and the workmanship is great.

On cutting boards like this I always wonder about the integrity of end grain to end grain gluing. Did you add any biscuits or dowels or are you comfortable with the integrity of the board without them?

Rich – I don’t think too much about the gluing. I use Titebond II and make sure both sides are covered well. Then I clamp the hell out of them. No biscuits or dowels.

That’s a really nice design! did you use some kind of ratio on the first one?

Jim – no ratio. Just fractions. I think it was 1/8”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” etc. for both colors until I got to under 13 inches, the max width of my DeWalt planer.

Next one will be 1/8”, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, etc. More pieces and smaller relationships.

Beautiful and I like that you kept the grain oriented : )

Have your say...
