I made some other cutting boards and decided to continue on the scrap pile. This one will be for my mother. I had enough left-over strips that I plan on making a cheese cutter to match. I hadn’t made an end grain one yet so figured I’d challenge myself a bit with this one. The lines came out almost perfectly. A hair under one inch thick. It’s made of Maple, Purpleheart, 2 different sticks of Cocobolo and Zebra. Finished with butcher block oil. I admire those of you that make these on a regular basis. My hands are still vibrating from all the sanding. Thanks for looking.
Don’t forget- Mother’s day is on May 8th!

Edit: 4-6 added pic of cheese slicer.

I love your design (nice countertop too). If you make any more of these (especially end grain) you’ll have to invest in a drum sander as it really saves the limbs from carpal tunnel. Been there, done that (carpal tunnel), NOT FUN. The problem with these intricut designs is the glue up/ glue lines and as you pointed out. Yours are spot on. Very well done.
