The heat of summer keeps me from spending long hours in the shop, so I looked for some smaller projects to work on and decided on cutting boards. The first few were long grain, then I tried end grain, starting with Marc S.'s design and working on my skills. Finally made one of my own design. Christmas presents done!
Pics 1 and 2 are cherry and rock maple. Pic 3, maple and purpleheart. Pic 4, maple and cherry. Pic 5, maple, cherry, and purpleheart.
Sanding end grain is not for the faint of heart.
