    Default 40th Birthday next weekend - Cutting Board

    Hi, in addition to my dad's birthday this week, I also have a 40th to go to.

    He loves cooking so I was thinking of a cutting board.

    I have made a few a few years ago out of jarrah and rock maple.

    I live in Perth and am wondering what other timbers I could make it from?

    I have lots of good Jarrah but I would like a nice timber to offset it.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Arry

    If you are ever near Armadale then you can have some Sheoak ... there's a lot here

    Cheers,

    Cheers Paul, Sheoak is a fantastic timber however do you think it would look good against Jarrah?

    I was just thinking ... jarrah and sheoak ... Derek would have a picture somewhere ...

    and this will do ... from his plane-making marathon ...

    Marri would go nicely with Jarrah I imagine

    Cheers guys, bassmansimon, Marri is a wonderful timber however I would need to fill holes with resin etc so probably not a good idea, but I love Marri!

    Good point. Great together but probably not the best choice for a cutting board
