Mother's Day presents- My first pretty things Mother's Day presents- My first pretty things Mother's Day presents- My first pretty things Click the pictures to enlarge them

These are a couple of cutting boards that I made for my Mom and LOML. LOML designed the trivet. All 3 are Maple and Walnut.

Cut, Clamped and glued, Hand planed, power sanded, and finished with Watco Butcher Block finish.

Mom and LOML both refuse to use them, they say that they are to pretty to mess up using them.

I really like the grain pattern of the maple (quilted?).

Enjoy

Nice looking projects. I love how the maple grain continues and matches. Thank you for sharing.

Happens all the time to me about ppl not wanting to use them , so I ‘ve got into the habit of putting the prettiest sides of the boards facing up and then routing a juice groove into the other side so ppl can actually cut on that side and save the pretty side for display. Nice job on your boards : )
