How about a "Double Diamond"?
A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of my latest decorative cutting board that I called "A Diamond in the wood. This one is made in the same fashion, but with a different layout. I call it "Double Diamond. Woods used are Maple, Cherry and Walnut. All comments, both pro and con are welcome.Double Diamond - small.JPG

incredible job...its really an amazing piece of art, as crowie says. usually i can figure out some construction tricks....but this ones got me baffled. theres some quadrant symmetry...but all those diamonds...an individual size and shape?...im curious if you'd like to share any of your methodology.....i build a lot of cutting boards, and love the complex geometry....but i think i've met the master here. care to share?

Love your work, but can you please let us know how cheap timber is in the US, I see many people using these three contrasting timbers a lot, I just want to see how much we are over-paying here.

Love the cutting board but wouldn’t want to look at it after a couple of bottles of red
How long does it take you to construct a complex piece like this?

I did not keep track, but I would estimate that I have somewhere around 25 to 30 hours in it.
