This endgrain butcher block consisting of black walnut, black cherry, silver maple and sassafras is 12”x16” and nearly 2” thick.

Pic 5 shows the first glue up needed to make an endgrain first generation board.
Pic 6 another glue up option I considered.

Finished with mineral oil and beeswax.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Scott, you chose well.
That looks really nice. Good color combo too.

I agree, patron. I was torn between the typical chevron and spalm’s “feathers”.

I think I’m going to need to get myself one of those branding irons myself.
Nice work!

looking good :) I suppose it went through a lot of use and abuse since you made it, right?

@StickleyStyle: I would recommend an electric one and to practice with it.

@Kelen: Have you seen degoose’s work?

@Sodabowski: It will be used as wall art by the new owner. So it probably did not need to be 2” thick. Oh well.

@degoose: They are all easy aren’t they. Just cut and glue, cut and glue ;)

great colors..very appealing. I would never have guessed this was endgrain. Thanks for sharing the glue up to achieve the endgrain.

That is an absolute work of art from the heart. I may have the equipment, but certainly not the expertise. Beautiful!
