difalkner Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Once you get all the pieces cut it's time to decide which pieces will go where and in what order and orientation. There are many ways to do this but I chose to just take one from each batch and see how it looks on this one. So I thought I'd do a lighthearted video of the process. Enjoy!

Dadio Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 That is the nice thing about end grain cutting boards everyone has a unique design . I went through a cutting board phase a long time ago and none were as nice as these shown. Herb DAB and difalkner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 there are right ways to build a cutting board, and there are wrong ways to build a cutting board. but there is no one right way. the designs and options are endless, as long as you do it correctly. and as long as your customer/wife knows and follows the proper care instructions. otherwise, all your effort will be wasted when the board falls apart due to carelessness. difalkner and Dadio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right DAB, and the key is to use woods that contrast well together, no matter how well the workmanship,which counts too, but stands out more with great contrast and pattern. I found out too that just turning the grain and mirror imaging also makes a big difference.

Gerald Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 This is the PROGRAM I use for design. Got started with a PIP that DAB posted several years ago on the old Wood site, by the way thanks for that.

DAB Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 uh oh....now i'm getting blamed/credited for something.....better hide! i think how i want it to look, then work backwards. may do several sketches on grid paper before i settle on one i like. that walnut and maple one is an example of that. i had a long thread on how that was done, but it's all gone now, since photobucket screwed everyone over.

Even better with the "annoying sounds." Cutting board layout pretty cool too. difalkner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
