Cutting Board, Diamond and Zig Zag pattern, End Grain Up II

I love it, great job

Wow, this is definately not your average run of the mill cutting board…it’s more like a work of ART! Beautiful job…..i would feel bad cutting on it for fear of damaging it, even though that;s what it’s made for… lol! :)

Outstanding use of the grain! I would be hard pressed to cut on something that beautiful. Really nice job.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Talk about a super board, man sure would like to be able to do something like it, “you did yourself proud”

Thanks all….

@nitewalker41—go for it. It’s really not that hard to do. Just a few miter cuts when you put the edge grain part together. Then cross cut and flip up the end grain.

I would have never guessed this was only Cherry and Paduak. The wood is amazing. The design is great as well. I really like this board and might have to go on the to do list.

Very well done on this!!!!!!!!!

Super job and cool design . It kind of makes me think of a native American blanket design. Very Very Nice.

I just got some wood to try your design. I totally love these cutting boards you make. I bought some yellow heart, purple heart, bloodwood and walnut to try my hand at a cutting board. I already read your instructions in your other post on your technique. I will let you know how they turn out.

@SailorDaddy—look forward to see how they turn out.

I have come up with a better way to get those diamonds in there—and it’s far easier. Will have to do one and post it—too hard to explain without pictures.

@bvdon: I am almost done with my board. I wiped it down with some spirits to see what it would look like and it really popped. I took a pic and posted it. I now know why your juice groove jig makes your life so much easier. I hope you like my version of your design. I used a 30 degree angle on my zig zags. Should of used a steeper angle though. My pieces climbed on each other and it is now closer to 25 degrees after I put it through the planer.

Really nice board
