I know you all have seen a ton of these cutting boards but here’s mine. I really had fun making it. It was the first time I’d worked with Purple Heart and it is sure beautiful (boy it’s hard wood). It turned out well with a few mistakes that i will always see but maybe no one else will.

Very good looking. I saw the board at the Wood Whisperer and thought “I really need to make one of those..” Someday.
Good job and whoever uses it will be very happy, I’m sure!

Beautiful Job!
Just finishing up one of these, too. Don’t think I’ll make any more, however. I think I spent more for sand paper than in the wood!

First off… howdy from a former NoDak. I was born and raised in ND, left almost 19 years ago when I joined the Army. I am stationed in Arizona now, but I get back home every couple of years.
Very nice cutting board. A few weeks ago I bought a #$%^ load of purple heart and maple to make some of the cutting boards for family and friends.
A tip for lew’s comment above: next time, instead of spending a bunch of money on sand paper, get yourself a scraper or two. They work a lot better than sandpaper, and are reusable! ;)

I echo the scraper thing. The first one of these I made took forever, but once I gave it a once-over with a scraper, it cut the finish time down to a fraction what it was.
Nice looking cutting board!

I think I’ve seen this before! Nice job. The Purple and maple are great contrasting woods.
