Here’s another end-grain cutting board (this one for Mom). Her favorite color being purple, I went with Purple Heart for the focus wood. I’ve decided it’s much too hard/dense to be fun for sanding…who knew. I took a little inspiration from a southwest style and tried to go a little rustic and make it look a little aged with some intentional digs into the feet. The two pictures are pre- and post-oil/wax.

Nice looking board. I don’t believe I have seen one like that.

Thanks. I tried to make something unique and personal since it was a gift. In the future, I don’t think I’ll put purple heart and walnut next to each other very often unless going for some kind of gradual transition with other steps along the way.

Haha, thanks. As much time as I spent on that thing she better be using it to cut up veggies though.
