Marc Spagnuolo design cutting board

Great looking cutting board. Thanks for sharing Wally.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

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.

Looks nice. I just finished up one of these myself, I think there is a law someplace that everyone is required to make one of these! Yours however looks much nicer than mine. Did you leave it out to oxidize the purpleheart a bit before putting on the finish? I put howards butcher block conditioner on mine without waiting for the purpleheart to turn purple and now it seems like it isn’t going to…

-- I work with metal for money, and wood for fun...

yep you have to leave purple heart sit a day or so after you cut or sand otherwise it look more brown than purple
