Kev Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Before I get going on the bed, I really needed to reduce some of the scrap so, another cutting board was in order. This is actually 3 cutting boards put together and then flipped to end grain for the "chaotic" look.

These all start out as slightly less than 1" boards randomly put together. When I get these small off cuts, I try to set them aside until there's enough to glue into a thin board. When I get 3 of these thin boards, I glue flatten them and then glue them together. From there, I set the TS fence to whatever the total thickness is and start cross cutting strips. I then alternate them and try to randomize the pattern as best I can and glue it up. They always come out looking cool and use up a bunch of scrap that would normally go on the fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I love the look! What a good way to make a gift without much expense. How many species of wood are in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I think that a past member of WTOL from Cal said there was a program that will give numerous patterns for cutting boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Brendon talking about that but if I have to have a computer program help me make a cutting board I just going to spend the program money on a nice burn pit.🤯 2 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
