cutting board #2

Moshel,

This is a very well designed cutting board. The woods compliment one another well.

It looks just fine.

Thanks for the post.

I really like the way the grain gives the piece motion.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

pretty combo.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

I like the two woods together. Really nice.

very nice…here is a beginners question…when sanding end grain that is going in all different directions do you have to sand each piece individually???

Thanks for you all for your support…. The actual faults of the board are not really apparent from the picture. I really fell in love with the macrocarpa grain and used it although I had a gut feeling that its not the right wood for the job.

Napaman: Its not that I am an expert in this area, but I try to plane with very very tiny lowering of the blades and afterwards just work very hard, mostly in circular motions with cork sanding blocks. trying to work on specific areas will cause strange things (you will eventually get uneven surface and have to replane….). I find that the major trick is sanding evenly, because there is no simple way to correct uneven surface.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

this is a gorgeous board to say the least : )
