Here is my version of a end grain basket weave cutting board. It is 13×18x1.5” and made from 8/4 maple, african mahogany, and cherry. First pic is before the final sanding and the finish. The 2nd is after about 6 coats of mineral oil.

Mike,
This is a beautiful board. Nice choice of woods too by the way.
Well done.

The board soaks up the oil fast so it’s only about 10 min between each coat. Since then i have put quite a few more coats on. Have to send it to my dad for fathers day now :)...
Thanks for all the comments!!

Nice design. The weaved look look works with the species you chose. I actually like the natural unfinished look, but the oiled is nice as well and will stand the test of time much better.

Great job Mike! After seeing the other great weave pattern boards out here, I was thinking of doing an end grain version…you beat me to it. :) It seems like the end grain version will be more stable in the long term, plus since you’re not gluing end grain in a board like this it should hold together better too. And using the end grain colors to make up the longer parts of the visible weave is a great idea too. That makes for an easier glue-up than using longer pieces.
Thanks for posting this.
