Like the mechanic whose car is never quite fixed I have owed LOML a cutting board for about 3 years. This will be a Scott Lewis style board that I have made threads on before and so will touch on lightly here. I start with a maple edge-grain blank.

I scribe a wave-shaped line and cut the blank in two at a width that will match the stacked inlay that will occupy that space. The thin curvy material shown is the spoil. I cut as close to the "line" as I can to minimize the amount left to be removed at the router table.

I have a rig that I built out of scrap to manage the shifting of parts under stress.

Here's the first inlay glue up.

I clean up the over hang with a No 5 and a scraper.

Here's the second section of inlay in the clamps.
