From scraps and turning out to be really good.
Destiny of these pieces is to stick together in one piece… and so be it. The materials I used had been a division framings in the office.. 2×3. I did rip it. glue together, cut again then sand to finish a nice cutting board. This is my second cutting board.
Photo 5 is small block… I made two boards of the same stocks.
I finished with miniral oil. However please take caution because the miniral oil tends to expand the glue (pva) that I used.. you need to sand again when dry.
Hope you will like the grain orientation as I love the those grains.

Nice board. I let my cutting board glue ups dry for a month before any branding or finishing. That solved any problems I had.

Wiser, Thickness – 1-14” (30mm) , pieces L x W = 1” x 1-1/8” (25×28 mm). I thought at first that it will be plain white and brown, but after coat of miniral oil, the grain orientation came out and each wood type changed its color. The violet part was also surprising. It would be better next time to have all the wood type be coated first of mineral oil prior final glueing and arranging the orientation.. this is important.
Thanks to all.
