And I would have bet that the first board was Bloodwood : )
They're all great looking boards !

Very cool shopdog. How do you get such clean glue lines with odd shapes like that?

Thanks for all the nice comments.

@Dusty56- It does look like bloodwood…bad photography :)

@mfike- Patience and good clamps.

@degoose- Thanks…it means a lot coming from the chairman of the board.

Dusty,

I've been building Ipe decks for more than 10 years, and I can tell you that Ipe comes in many color variations and grain patterns. The only thing that's consistent about Ipe is it's inconsistency. For my decks, I like to use the straighter grained, chocolate color, but it's not possible as I can't find enough, because my local source doesn't have a very large quantity.
Sometimes, I find incredibly figured Ipe, but I don't want that on my decks.
The finish on my cutting boards is called Tried and True. It's non toxic, pure linseed oil and beeswax.
