What a shame to put a knife to such a beauty.

Beautiful – hope it hangs on the wall where it’s visible when not being chopped on (ouch!).

Awesome looking board!! Too nice to cut up!!! :)

Great looking board….there is always room for more cutting boards…..There is so many patterns, woods….etc….it would be a seriously difficult project to calculate the total permutations with all those variables. This one is indeed a winner.

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Wow, I’d like to find some Claro Walnut that look like that!

Gr8 Board.

Hope wife hangs it on the wall and buys the junk board for $19 to do her cutting

Great ‘first’ job Gene. You must have approached this like you do you boxes! Nice wood. I keep refinishing two boards we got for wedding presents in 1980. My wife often sees my new boards and mumbles something. I don’t hear well at times!! Your wife is lucky and smart. I wouldn’t spend the $19.95 either.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone, this was fun to make and will probably make several more…....uhoh, ham I hooked??!! LOL Never give my boxmaking though !

Ira – You want Claro…... let me tell you , I have a wonderful friend in central california that provided this to me.
It came from 2” wide stick with knots in various locations, but look how it came out. BTW, my friend sometimes goes by “Rustfever” on this great woodworking site called LJ’s…... you ought to check it out !!!!!
