Cutting board

That weaving is great. It is almost like an optical illusion that you wove the wood together. Nicely done.

There are lots of great projects on this site but I think your cutting board is one of the most creative I’ve seen yet. Very nice job.

I was inspired by a creative LJ on this site (Timbers), He made a beautiful board out of Purple Heart and Maple I believe…..Very impressive! I studied the picture and watched The wood Whsperer on You Tube’s web site.
The video is very informative and I very specific. I hope this helps.

I, too, love the basket weave. I can imagine worrying about getting my knife caught as I was cutting—thinking that the wood really did overlap.

Jim,

When I saw the cutting board header in the project list I thought just another cutting board but this one is outstanding. The joinery is excellent and the pattern is wonderful.

Thanks for posting this project.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Amazingly good, Jim. One of those real “wow” projects.

Very nice. It brings back fond memories of summer picnics. The pattern reminds me of the lawnchair weave, although I have never seen a lawnchair as nice as this.
