Two of my favorite people, and they love to cook.

Brazilian Rosewood breadboard ends, T&G, and pegged
Red Oak and Cherry main board.
Beeswax/Food-Grade Mineral Oil finish.
About 24” x 14” x 1” thick.

I’ve decided that I’m done with the open joint. Next time, I haunch the tongue, and “conceal” the joint.

So there ;-)

Been “tuning” the shop machines, in preparation to go at a big pile of African Mahogany, for an Arts & Crafts Dresser, but … thought I’d sneak this one in ;-)

Cheers !

Pretty board. I agree with hiding the joint. These woods go well together. your friends should enjoy using it.

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

Very nice Neil. I just made the table top and BB ends for ninjas tray today but didn’t have time to cover it yet. I’ll be doing G &G style so concealing joint with end caps glued to main board only thus hiding T&G. Blogs coming soon. I like your wood choices.

Very nice, I kind of like seeing the T&G from the side.

Love the board and I’ll add that I also like seeing the T&G on the side. But you know what? When you post your next one hiding the T&G, I bet I’ll like it too!

Nice work.

That’s a good looking board. Groves or no groves, that’s a great combination. Well Done!

So a question about hiding the tongue – doesn’t it need to be exposed to provide space for the expansion across the grain of the cutting board body? Or does it work if you leave the tongue slightly narrower than the groove inside the end board? Just asking because I love the look of breadboard ends, but I’m always worried the cross-grain expansion will cause issues. Would appreciate any advice from those who know!
