Amazing 3d end grain cutting board

**dalejw** · 27th December 2013, 03:56 PM

Had a crack at these as Xmas pressies. Not super difficult but be prepared for wastage!

Started with a 1200 * 280 lamination of tassie oak/jarrah and another 1200*280 lamination of tassie oak/ she oak (40mm thick) and got 2 and a half 280*400*40mm boards out of it.

Also definitely do not use the Rustins chopping board oil. It didn't penetrate at all, left the surface looking as if it had just been sanded (no colour depth) and a waxy residue over the top. It penetrated so little I was able to sand it off with 120grit (luckilly) before I used Danish oil on it.

That is a very nice looking job you have done, I bet the recipients were happy!

Cheers,

Here is the one I made, not quite as pretty as yours. Used orange oil and it darkened it quit dramatically. chopp.jpg

They were pretty happy. And as usual when you do something like this. Everyone who wasn't a recipient was off

Nice job yowie. Ran out of time to round off the corners.

Me I'm still fluffing around trying to decide on which timbers to use and where to get them from.
