Made a few boards where I spent a good time trying to wed the grain. let me know what you think, also looking for a few good plans on a cutting board glue up jig. Anyone know? In the one board it was my first time using padouk it looked like I murdered a jack o lantern in the shop when making it. Wedding the grain adds so much more to the boards along with the color pattern of the woods.
Enjoy

Hansdsome cutting boards ! What do you mean by “wedding” the grain ? Matching or harmonizing ?

I would say matching the grain. What would harmonizing be?

Nice boards. The board in pics 3 and 6 looks like you could use a hatchet on it and it wouldnt hurt it. That is a tight board. Good work and I wish I knew of the jig you are asking about …. I’d buy one yesterday!!!!
Again, good work on all these.

Nice boards. I have seen two nice jigs for gluing up boards on here as projects

What you are calling “wedding” would be called book-matching if this were in any other project outside of a cutting board.
I really love the way that the sapwood/heart plays on the walnut on the first board. It almost looks like a time-lapse photo of a rocket launch.
