A great beauty. You did a heck of a job on those cuts…the flairs off the main one.

And I thought, too, that there for a minute I was having a flashback!! Great work and a very nice board.

WOW! Impressive.

Excellent grain combos Dennis!

I like the way it flows, good job.

dennis, you have way too much time on your hands. LOL however i love that board. it is exquisite. thanks for sharing. that board is worth at least a buck two eighty!!

Way too nice to use as a cuitting board ! How did you cut the complex-shaped pieces and keep the joints
tight ? It looks like the curves weren’t faired so I’m thinking overlapping pieces that were “one-timed” on a bandsaw ?

I cut these pieces one at a time and it was no fun lots of sanding. Monte Cristo

Dennis, you are a crazy dude for coming up with this. Midnight to 6 am must be your time!! Nice work.

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

Beautiful work. Made a box once by doubleback taping oak and walnut in a stack. Cut the stack with the BS and re-assembled alternating colors. Fit together flawlessly.

-- DJ Peck, Lincoln Nebraska. I don't have a Shop. I think of it as a Tool Chase. Where the hell did I put that?

Here’s an easier way:
Make up 4 (or more) panels the same size and stick them together with lots of double sided tape,
with one of the light colored pieces on top.
Draw your design on the top one and cut thru all four at once on the band saw.
Then reassemble the pieces in different orders like a puzzle.
Glue up is a bit tricky with the curves but you wind up with for boards, all different.
A couple of hints: make very sure your band saw is running straight and true and use a sharp blade.
Adding a 1/16” filler strip to replace the saw kerf is easy, looks fancy and matches up the curves by replacing the saw kerf material.
Don’t use cocobolo or teak unless you glue up with epoxy because the curves will want to come apart over time as the wood moves seasonally those woods, with their natural oils are especially hard to get a good glue joint.

I’m speechless :)

A great board, sorry about the humour

I could not resist.

AWESOME. That’s not a cutting board, that’s a work or art.

You have designed a very unique CB. It is very eye catching. You are a very creative woodworker.
