Jiminy Crickets Gary, that’s some serious glue-up. Makes me dizzy just looking at those clamps. How do you know when to stop adding pieces?

The board turned out nice, though.

Way cool board Gary…

I love the 3-D quality of the basket weave with the canary wood “field” that seems to give it the depth.

Are you using mineral oil or some such finish?

Tyler – The mahogany and walnut is glued together in advance and then cut into pieces. If my count is right
there are 70 pieces for the final glue-up.

Chris – The finish is 4 caots of water based poly.

Alright Gary!....I guess I’m going to have to make one of these now.
I love a challenge, I think that definately fits as such.
Smokin job.
One question….How do you think the finish will hold up? But then again Who the heck would use such a beautiful board.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

WOW – Most excellent Gary. That waterbased poly sure made it pop.

Jim – My wife won’t use it or the first one. She thinks they’re too pretty so I am not worried about the finish.
I think I would use mineral oil if she were actually going to use it.

Nice board. I like to see what you’ve made next. I knew the second I saw the board that it was yours. I only had to read the name to confirm. Thanks for keeping us inspired.

Great job Gary! I like this one even better than the first.

Was this one any easier/harder to glue up compared to the first? In other words, did the smaller diamonds make a difference in that regard?
