great cutting board. It is a very nice and interesting design. I also like the way you matched the grain. It is things like that make the difference. Welcome tp LJs.

Wow, excellent job with the grain orientation. Very nice!

Thanks for the kind words on grain orientation! I have to admit that it was by happenstance. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then right?

Don, welcome to LJ. You have found a great woodworking “home”. Re. the cutting board; I was ready to give you props on sort of book-matching the growth rings, and you confess to accidental artistry. Anyway, nice job on the board….I’ll be watching for more posts.

Simple but very good board. A closer look shows how you aligned the ring patterns of the woods very keenly.
Welcome aboard (pun intentional).

You nailed grain orientation on the board, you clearly paid great attention to detail. You’re now initiated into the Board Club! The secret handshake will be sent!!!! LOL Welcome great to have you here!

As the LumberJocks resident blind squirrel … I’d have to say … not as often as you might think ;-)

I think you will fit in just fine here.
Welcome to the club.

I seems that a lot has been said about grain orientation.. I will not add any more… I like the concept and the execution… well done and welcome..

I’m dismayed. You were supposed to have posted this to the “Wall Plaques” section, for I know one thing for sure – it’ll never be cut on.
Blind squirrels have a great sense of touch though, take it from 400g all the way to 2000g and see if you don’t go nuts.
