So I’m at work and out of the blue I decide I want to make furniture. I tell this to my wife and its such a weird out of nowhere thing for me to say that she is ok with it. (not beleiveing I meant it) Not knowing where to start I found the Woodwhisperer and got started.
This cutting board is the first wood I ever cut and at the time I started I was attempting to go from rough lumber to cutting board with only a table saw and ZERO knowledge. Mistake after mistake the board got smaller and smaller but luckily I was able to finish while it was still large enough to be a small cutting board.
Before I finished it I went out and got a jointer and planer.

That’s a great looking cutting board. I haven’t made one yet but am planning to.

You are obviously a quick learner. New Projects=New tools. The project looks great too. I particularly like the checkerboard center strip that looks like an optical illusion. (As though there are 1/4” strips running edge to edge)

That is a nice board. And from your post I see you have caught the tool bug as well. This is a prerequisite for being a woodworker. You are well on your way.
Success inspires confidence and you have done well with this board.
Congratulations, you have earned it.

For someone who claims to have “zero knowledge” that’s pretty impressive. Nice Job! I don’t think you can call yourself a newbie any longer. :-)
