The title says Practical Cutting Board.
Two years ago, I made a big butch block for my wife and now she wants
a little smaller one for easy moving yet practical. She emphasized
the cutting board should not be that fancy like most LJ’s make.
Try to be as plain as possible but I still want to show the touch of woodworker.
Used beech and walnut but could not omit minimal deco, 1/4” thick five petals.
I can promise the next one would be much fancier.

Well, that one is very nice, still a cut above ‘practical’! I’m looking forward to the next one. :)

It looks very good. The petals are a nice touch. How’d you do those(if you don’t mind me asking)?

I use inlay bit set and home-made template for the petal.
If you use thin veneer for inlay, you cannot do resurfacing.
This petal is 1/4” thick, so I can do resurfacing 2-3 times.

End is simple tung and groove and glued in.
I used table saw but router table would be good too.

Plain does not fit this board it’s simplicity is it’s charm. a 12 on a scale of 1-10.

Great looking board. You did a great job putting a woodworker’s touch on it. If possible could you show some details behind your petal inlay? My wife would flip if I could do that!

It takes quite a bit of “not so simple” skill and time to make something look simple and yet as elegant as this. Really great job.
