!C:\Documents and Settings\win\My Documents\My Pictures!Very cool!
but (just as a side note) you might want to in the future reconsider your construction of the bread board.
From the pictures it looks like you glued long grain to end grain and this can couse problems when the wood expands or contracts with the inevitable changes in moister content. It could couse the board to delaminate itself!
Other than this they look great!

P.S. I made the same mistake myself, and it took me a few projects to relize it!

i love them…good advice on the endgrain—-I was thinking as I re-furbish a neighbors cutting board…that I would do the same thing you did—-frame the endgrain…it looks nice…even if it may have problems down the road…just gives you another chance to make a new gift…

Thanks for the comments. Rather than typical breadboard joints on the ends of the boards I used a biscuit jointer and small sized biscuits. Time will tell how they hold up. Thanks for the comments.
