Well I finished a couple of cutting boards last night.

Here they are....

Maple, Walnut and Paduk

Maple, Walnut and Purpleheart.

Check out the blog to see how I put them together.

Not sure I understand that Larry.

I cut the strips on the ts and I run that through the planer to get the even and flat then cut the strips again before putting them together.

Does that answer your question??

Very nice, John.. Some time ago, WOOD did an article on how to make some. Was written by Jeff Mertz.

Did you joint each piece on all sides?

Larry

Good deal, I was trying to visualize your question and I wasn't sure I was answering correctly.

I do run them all through the planer. Sometimes I will even run the cut strips back through long ways just to make sure they glue up good and square.

I read the article by Jeff when they did it in Wood.

Now that presents a problem..............it is way too pretty to use as a cutting board. Make a small table out of it.

You sound like most of my customers. LOL

We cut on one everyday and it doesn't hurt them.

I meant to add a picture to my last comments. This table started out as a game board, but I just couldn't see not having it be of more use and show its beauty.

Wow, that is one nice table. I really like that. I may have to steal uh borrow your design and make one of those.
