Sapele, Walnut, Maple Cutting board

Looks great Andrew!

Really really nice

Great wood choices. I have used Sapele for boards and i think it is safe. It does add a lot of shine to the mix.

Nice, heavy design. I made a plywood template for a hand held router and clamp it onto the board to do the cutouts for handles.

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

Thanks guys!

Nice job on the board! Do you ever use biscuits to assemble them? I usually use Titebond III and biscuits, although I don’t think I would call it dishwasher safe – they should hold up for years.
Good choice on the wood.

really nicely done board ya got there. I used a dado blade on my tablesaw to rout out some handles, just place the board over the blade and raise it up into your board. Just dont do like i did and check it halfway through and misalign the board when placing it back over the blade. The dado blade grabbed my board and launched it.

Very nice cutting board.
Love the colors.
