yeah it was a heavy board, but thats what he wanted….haven’t had any problems to this point with the cross grain…made sure I got a got tight glue up and make sure the client knows to never soak the board in water or use a dish washer. Suppose it would tough to get this in a dish washer…lol

Is the board also double thinkness or only the edges?

Great looking board.

You could almost use it for a bench top.

I like the simple look of plain oak. It’s attractive, but doesn’t look like it shouldn’t be used. Although, at that thickness, it’s as much a chopping block as it is a cutting board.

Splinters,

This is a beautiful board. I figure you used just over 6 bf in its construction. Wow that is a massive cutting board.

You did a good job on this.

Thanks for the post.

Now thats what I call a cutting board. Looks great! Thanks for posting.
