Had a crack at these as Xmas pressies. Not super difficult but be prepared for wastage!
Started with a 1200 * 280 lamination of tassie oak/jarrah and another 1200*280 lamination of tassie oak/ she oak (40mm thick) and got 2 and a half 280*400*40mm boards out of it.
Also definitely do not use the Rustins chopping board oil. It didn't penetrate at all, left the surface looking as if it had just been sanded (no colour depth) and a waxy residue over the top. It penetrated so little I was able to sand it off with 120grit (luckilly) before I used Danish oil on it.

Here is the one I made, not quite as pretty as yours. Used orange oil and it darkened it quit dramatically. chopp.jpg
The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

They were pretty happy. And as usual when you do something like this. Everyone who wasn't a recipient was off

Me I'm still fluffing around trying to decide on which timbers to use and where to get them from.
