Made this a couple days ago. I started out with a maple/walnut checkerboard and an identical cherry/walnut board. Taped them together and cut them on the band saw like you would for a drunken cutting board. Lines are off a little it was my first try though. I actually didn’t know I was gonna do this to them until after both boards were glued up on endgrain. It was my wifes idea to recut them with the drunken lines. I want to try it with some other wood combinations too, maybe something that will stick out better. Finished with mineral oil. Thanks for looking.

Pretty nice, sort of mirror images of each other.

I tried to do this but failed, how thick were your two boards?

I don’t know if you make these for sale. But if you do, you just created a possibility for custom cutting boards. Piece it together for initials it a name in the board. I think people would like it. Personalization and unique always helps sell. Just a thought.

Nice job on this.

Way cool.

Took me a while to figure out what you meant. It looks like a shadow image of one board superimposed on another. At first glance it was making me crazy trying to work it out.

Maybe try purpleheart/maple and cherry/yellowheart. That’d be a wild looking board.
