Post your CUTTING BOARDS

[Ticky]

Hi,

I will soon be starting another Butchers Block for a mate of mine. I have done a couple before but I am thinking of trying something a little different when I make the Block, but, I'm not sure what I want to do.

I would like to see some different end grain patterns than just the norm, so if you have done something out of the box, please post it & show it off.

Thanks in advance.

You may have seen this one before, but I think it's fantastic.

G'day Mate,

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that page before, but I am familiar with the style of board. Somebody, & it might even be the woodwisperer has even written software to calculate the timber required & the pattern it generates.

I have downloaded the free software, but there is some issues with it and 64bit vista. I'll have a play with it at some stage.

Sadly, this thread was not well received on the forum. I was hoping for some different patterns & styles. Maybe people think a simple cutting board is not that exciting, but I enjoy building one every now & then.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

That looks amazing!
I presume you cut the widths on a bandsaw?

[timelord]

I cut the strips with a table saw using the Incra ultralite jig but you could do it just as well using only the rip fence on the table saw.

Hey Timelord, Love your board.

Well done & thanks for showing us.

Steve, not really a cutting board, but I'm currently in the process of making a cheese board / serving platter. Filled holes with resin.

I made the Wood Whisperer bread board, and being end grain it ended up looking like a fruit bowl!
if cupped that badly.

Simon, That looks great. I like doing cheese boards as well, but Iv'e never really finished one. I've started 3, but they well all snapped up before I was really finished with them. I have a few bits of nice timber set aside for another go at some stage.

Here's a a chopping block I did a few years ago.

Hi Darren,
Couldn't get to your website. At least, from an iPad anyway.

That looks great Jenno, What did you finish the block with?
