I'm relativly new to Sawmill Creek, so you'll have to excuse me if I sound inexperienced when it comes to posting these threads.
I've been recently working on some projects for the upcoming christmas season as gifts for family and friends. The resounding suggestion has been to make cutting boards so I have begun to do that. After making a few designs, I came back about a week later only to see they had a large crack down the middle.
I wasn't sure if the split was caused by expansion/contraction of the wood that provides the border (perhaps because they run in opposite directions) or the end grain wood in the center. If anyone can provide insight into this mysterious splitting or offer a good solution for the future it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Daniel
