Another Cutting Board

Recommended Posts

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.

Salad Bowl Finish - Size is about 10" x 14"

More so from trying to figure out how the design is done. 

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.

I think that a past member of WTOL from Cal said there was a program that will give numerous patterns for cutting boards. 

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.🤯
