Looks very sharp. Is that all walnut? I see some BLO and poly in your pictures - what was your finishing technique?

What a great finish.
Is that all walnut with alternating face and end grain?
Great job.
Some lucky family member will cherish that.

The board looks fantastic!

Just make sure you let that BLO harden off before using the board - ingesting BLO may be harmful to the liver.

Once it cures in a few days, it is perfectly safe.

Nice build!

beautiful one. I like the combination of dark colors much more than the contrasting ones.

I used 1/3 BLO, 1/3 poly, and 1/3 mineral spirits as a wiping varnish. I let it cure for two weeks and it is still sitting without use.

I don't know exactly what the species of walnut is but the lighter color was milled 52 years ago which is why I wanted it so bad and then when I cut it open to expose that amazing grain pattern I was floored.

I cant for the life of me think of were I came up with this combo for the finish. I want to say that it came from a "thewoodwhisperer" video. If that is were I got it from then thanks to Marc for the tip. If its not or I did it wrong then he had nothing to do with it Lol. Ok so before I finished typing this I went back and viewed the video and it was Marc that gave me the idea. The link below will take you to the video its about 7 mins into the video that he talks about it.


Thanks for the tip on the finish Marc.
