I was disappointed with the “blotchiness” of the color in the Ash that I used for this project, so I kept it for myself and made another one for my customer. This board is made from 5/4 ” Cherry , Ash , Maple and Black Walnut which had a knot in the edge of the board with some pretty nice figure coming from it . I assembled the board and routed the profile on it …The knot had split during the drying process , so I carefully gouged it out until I got to solid wood and then “massaged” it with my PorterCable ROS until I felt happy with the results . I really love the waterfall effect of the grain pattern and all of my guests make mention of it . I made this about 5 years ago and have since routed a juice groove into the back of it where I have done most of the cutting on this board . Your comments are welcome and appreciated : )

Hi Dusty;
Gee do you think you’re a perfectionist?
I mean really, this one wasn’t good enough for a customer?
I’d like to see the one you felt WAS good enough!
Beautiful!!
Lee

Hello Lee and thank you for the comment . If you look at the Ash in the pictures , you will notice what I meant by “blotchiness” . Most of the Ash is creamy / yellowish color , yet some areas of it are almost white and appear to be bleached out or stained . It was extremely noticeable when the board was brand new . The wood is quite solid so I really have no clue why it differs in color. I didn’t have a camera back when I made the other board for my customer , so no pix of that one . Same design , except I thoroughly examined the next Ash for flaws and of course the knot and special grain weren’t in the Black Walnut …...Thanks again for your feedback and I look forward to your next post as always : ) Have a great day !

Another great piece of work Dusty. You use a lot of differnt types of wood that I would never have thought of. This gives me some insight for future projects.
