This is a cutting board I made for a christmas gift. Its made with cherry, walnut, bloodwood and some stripped maple, all from the scap bin except the maple, that I had in my lumber pile. Finished with Howards Butcher Block conditioner, did 5 coats. Its my first cutting board, fun to make, next one up is an end grain instead of edge grain. Just need to get a drum sander, hopefully one will be under the tree this year.

Beautiful board , with a very nice wood color combination. Your counter top is awesome as well : )

Thank you for the compliments. The counter top is called piracema white granite. I get compliments all the time, it really goes well with dark cherry cabinets.

Nice color combos.
I just recently acquired a drum sander. Took me almost 2 years looking on Craigslist, but finally found one and got to it before it sold to another. A word of advice on the drum sander when you do get one…..they do not like sanding purpleheart endgrain. Everything else I’ve tried is fine, but the purpleheart endgrain was nasty. I ended up doing it by hand and ROS. Damn, that stuff is tuff.

Nice looking board. I found the trick with endgrain purpleheart is to keep the temperature of the wood low. Do not try to cut too much in a pass and give the wood time to cool after each pass.
