Nicely done Jon. Can you give me a clue on the process for the mosaic pattern? Looks like a great use for lots of scraps...

[Jon Grider]

Thanks Phil. Rather than try to describe the "chaotic" pattern, go to mtnwood on Youtube. You can see the process from start to finish. He does amazing work, my chaos and brick form boards are inspired by him.

Those are excellent! I've made plenty of end grain boards but not at that level. Great work.

[Jon Grider]

Thank you Jebediah. I make small batches several times a year after I've accumulated enough cut offs and ugly face grained pieces to make a few at a time.

Very very nice. I especially love that first dark round one. What type of wood did you use for that one?

[Jon Grider]

Thanks, Pat. The oval and round "cheese" boards were from a hunk of old air dried walnut.

[Jim Becker]

Very sharp work and artistry!

Jon, I'm not normally a fan of end grain cutting boards but these are fantastic. Congratulations on some very attractive boards.

[Ted Calver]

Beautiful! These are a cut above the usual end grain boards. I particularly like the round ones. Do they have wood legs and, if so how did you attach them?

[Jon Grider]

Thanks Jim, Yonak, and Ted. The wooden legs are attached with counterbored stainless screws.
