I needed a good cuting board so I made this 14×14x1 1/2 maple and jatoba santos border.

That was my first project. Now I am scared of using it because I could scratch it!!!

Maybe one day I will…

Hope you enjoy.

I really like the cove cut in the border; a very nice touch. I don’t think I could bring my self to cut on it either!

WOW ! I never would have guessed that it was a cutting board from the pictures….much too fancy indeed ! What type of router bit did you machine the Santos with ?

I did not use a router to machine the santos. I did that cutting board outta scrap pieces at work. That piece was one side of a laminated handrail . We machine that pattern on a shaper. But still the bit is available for the router : Molding#2 16J54.02 at Lee Valley.
