A few boards from a newbie

Nice work. This is a very satisfying project that impresses virtually everyone who sees them. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome and nice job on the boards. Spending money on woodworking is so much fun though right? LOL

Although I love how they look, I was wondering about the longevity when you have the wood grain all going the same direction.
I’ve made a few boards and learned many years ago that I was to keep the end grain alternating or that the swell/shrink cycle would eventually pull the glue joints apart.
Can you tell us how this works?

And I really do agree that those boards look exceptional… keep up the good work.

I like the third CB(Tigerwood/bloodwood) the best.
