Alright so the wifey wanted a cutting board she could take with her when she chefs at the catering events she does. She said she wanted something lighter than the big ones I made her for the kitchen. I said no problem and went about making her the cutting board. I decided to use some Maple and Mahoghany that I got recently. I cut strips 1" x 3/4" and was planning on 16" x 12" approximately sized board using the 1" dimension as the thickness of the board. So I got all the pieces cut and glued them up. When I went to plane it perfectly flat the board snapped in two right at one of the maple/mahoghany joins? So I re-glued it up and several hours later I took it out of the clamps and went to lat it down and a different joint split in two? I have made a couple of cutting boards in the past and never had any trouble withe Tightbond 3 not holding like a gorilla to a banana. Is mahoghany inherently resistant to being glued to another different piece of wood? My plan was for a checkerboard design cutting board but at this point I am thinking about ditching the mahoghany and using something else or is it me doing something insanely stupid and not realizing it ? Which is always a high probability.
