Hi,
Decided cutting boards should be more versatile. Can’t stand the idea of cutting on some of these boards.
I combined the “Little Tables” project with the “Woven” cutting board project. Is this a good idea? My wife loves each project individually but not the “combined” project. She thinks it’s “too busy”. I think it’s interesting and fascinating.
What do you think?
Bob

Wow, very nice. If your wife doesn’t like it send it to mine! Taken it to the next level my friend. I think this is very special and should make a new craze on LJ’s

No, it is not “too busy”. It is very attractive and shows real craftsmanship. Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Well, if she doesn’t care for it, I guess you have an amazing piece to set your coffee on in the shop!
Maybe try making the base a bit simpler and see if she likes that? Think: Simple apron and legs with straightforward joinery to keep the focus on the top. Maybe she’d like something more like that?

Bob: A great looking table. Just because she thinks that it’s too busy doesn’t mean that it’s not great.

I like it. You may be copied. I am thinking maybe a checker board for the family room. Nice!

Bob, I think it is a great idea.
I think it is a very practical table.

Nicely done! Couldn’t bear to use it as a cutting board, though!

Hey Bob!
Very nice weave project. But I think it needs to be bigger.
Thanks for sharing.
