End Grain Cutting Board - (Walnut, Purple Heart, Ash, Cherry Woods)

That is very nice! I’d love to know the steps you did to make that. My wife has been wanting a really nice cutting board for our kitchen. I have been researching them and really like this one. Nice colors

Cool design and great job on the wood combo. Very nice!

Striking!

Nice pattern and wood choices : )
Happy Holidays !

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Love the color combo and design! Great job!

The thin insets are striking! Beautifull!!

WOW…Nice

Absolutely stunning.
Love the thin lines – they make the piece.

Awesome board. Somehow I can never get over purple heart.

How do you keep the purple heart so purple? When I put mineral oil on, it gets very dark and loses that great purple hue.

The purple heart that I used for this cutting board was naturally deep in color. I still have a small piece of purple heart from the original cutting board and I compared it to a new piece I bought; theres a big difference between the two one is darker . I noticed when I run end grain cutting boards through my drum sander the purple heart burns a lot quicker then the other woods. Lighter runs and a lot of sanding with the orbital sander should help keep the natural color to not be so dark – On other projects I have used butcher block finish that has a glossier finish than mineral oil.
