Here you see three different mahogany boards.
1st is 10×14x1&3/8 — it’s small but the grain design is one of my favorites. I’m not sure how both the ends ended up looking like this, I wasn’t trying to do this.
2nd is 12×18x1&5/8 — it’s my most recent mahogany one. I’m really bummed on the oil mark. I applied the oil and the next day, this is what I got. I have been putting coat after coat trying to get rid of this, hopefully it will mix in
3rd is 13×19x2&1/2 —I made this one for my chef friend. He actually gave me the wood for it and much more!

All three look great. Nice designs on each one. I really like the fish in the center one. I assume you used stain to give it a darker apperance.

No, no stain on cutting boards. It’s all natural finish, I actually squirted the mineral oil directly on the board, wasn’t trying to make a design. The oil stain didn’t even appear until the next day, I still haven’t gotten rid of it completely yet….looks like this board will have to be for personal use :)
