Project Information

My wife's cousin wanted me to make her a CB, except she couldn't makeup her mind. She wanted a 12" x 12"x 3/4 thk CB with rubber feet and brown woods(first two pictures), so I made this one, but she thought it was too small, so she wanted a 12"x 14" x 1-1/4 thk with colored woods, so here is the larger one (the third and fourth picture). Then she didn't want the rubber feet, but wanted slots in each side. She hasn't seen it yet, so I am wondering what she wants to change next. The first is made from Macacauba, Hard Maple, Marblewood, Shedua, White Limba,and Hickory. The second is made from; Paduck, Purpleheart, Hard Maple, Black Walnut, Macacauba, and Chestnut. I know the customer is always right, but this is ridiculous.

both of the boards are very nice, i do like the second one with the hand holds on the ends, a nice touch, i hope she will be happy with the second, as i might be in doubt there would be a third, unless she offered payment for all of them….but…family is family, and we need to be patient …..as you already indicated..good luck…question, i did send you a pm, did you get it, a few days ago..just wondered…thanks

Thanks all for the comments. They seem to give me more patience. I hope she doesn't ask for another CB, because I am going back into the hospital in three weeks to have my heart worked on again.

Both nice, Don! Love the #2 board with the finger slots.

I too have found that the routed finger slots in conjuction with the stick-on feet is a good solution, allows use of both sides of the CB. To change sides of the board as the original top gets some wear, just peel 'em off, place on the other side, flip the board, repeat as needed!





Best of luck with the cardiac work!
