Everyone else is making cool cutting boards so when the Franklin-Horner community centre asked me to make them a cutting board, I had to show off a bit. It wasn’t until a while ago that I looked more closely at what everyone else is doing and realized how far behind I am in cutting boards and how amazing the patterns that some people make actually are. I have a long way to go to catch up but here’s a start.
P.S.- If you like contrast and pattern like I do, build a cutting board. Then try and build just one. Good Luck!

I too am addicted. What to do – probably make more.
Very nice job, good and tight.
Walnut, cherry, and maple?

You’re behind what? This is gorgeous. Great wood selection, amazing design. Cutting boards are definitely satisfying to build.

That’s awesome. Does anyone know a good resource on how to make these? I’ve pondered and pondered on the trick to these but I can’t seem to grasp it.

If you’re interested in making a board like this the best thing to do is look through the various blogs posted by the membership. Some people here are gifted when it comes to explaining the process. Their ingenuity of process and clarity of explanation are amazing. I’d start by searching the site, looking at louis cubes or tumbling blocks, and if I didn’t get what I want I’d start cutting wood and develop my own process. You could also ask questions in the forum area. I’ve received some great suggestions that have given me alternatives when I thought that I had none. If some the answers are particularly clear then maybe that person would be open to a more direct conversation although I don’t think this site is encouages that. It’s more about community.

This is way cool! It’s the kind of thing my Dad would have made. Hope one day I might have the time to try something like this.
