I thought these cutting boards needed a little something …more.. The stripes in the checker boared are purple heart so I did the frame in PH as well. What do you guys think? -- Sptfish, Naples, Florida, http://www.ckherzer1@comcast.net

sptfish, AWESOME looking boards!!!!
bent, I see comments a lot about “cross grain” issues. I recognize that end grain and edge grain expand and contract at different rates. But, when you are framing out something like in this project, what can you do to prevent or mimize these issues? Thanks.

I concur with the cross grain issue. I have had two boards I put together with frames pull apart. I had to cut off the frame and reglue the joints. I had framed one with Ipe and the other with Purple Heart. None of my boards without frames have had a problem.
