Cutting Boards

Nice looking boards, love the stark contrast in the wood types…

Sometimes what we plan for isn’t what we end up with :o)

very striking! What is the dark wood?

-- Cal Noguchi

Both very cool looking boards and really nicely made too.

I am not a big fan of cutting boards because everyone is making them. The boards I like are those that stand out from the others, and the first one does that. The colors and the design really work for me.

Very nice boards…..... I am a fan of cutting boards

Good boards. I like the first one especially, pattern looks familiar somehow. Excellent post.

Very nice.

I’ve done some boards like your first board. You’re forced to do some end grain to end grain gluing. I added some biscuits because end grain to end grain worries me. Did you feel a need to add biscuits or anything else to further strengthen the glue joint?

Actually I didnt, I find the end grain to end grain with glue seems to hold well, Just made sure i had the glue on heavy, even and on both surfaces that come together. Also I leave the boards in clamps for 24 hours. Have you had issues with the end grain glue before?
