Three of my cutting boards, one is a mix of cherry, black walnut and maple. First board is approx. 2” thick and 12” x 20”, second to last board is an 18” x 24” x 3” cherry monster. Last board is actually the first end grain cutting board I ever made, the “field” is maple, walnut and african mahogany, the outer skirt is actually a mix of the same and some unknown woods (maple, oak, walnut, ???) that I salvaged from an old broken down cutting board my Dad made for my mom (his highschool sweetheart) when they first got married 30 years ago.

Welcome to Lumberjocks, Nice boards. This site has alot of board makers on here, you’ll love looking at some of the amazing work. Enjoy! What kind of finish you doing? I use 50/50 salad bowl finish and mineral spirits. 10 coats.

That is a real nice cutting boards. I like the design with the ridge. I can see where that will come in handy during use.

I use a 100% mineral oil finish, I tried some mineral oil + beeswax finish on my first cutting board and didn’t like the sheen it gave off. I feel the flat finish of the mineral oil hides cutting marks better and is easier to rejuvinate.

Welcome to LJ , When I first saw the board I did a double take cause the board did not look smooth because of the color variation! On closer observation it looked (is) smooth. Bold statement!

Nice boards, especially like that last one—the fat cherry board.
