Latest Chopping Board WIP
Thought I would post some WIP pics of my latest chopping board. It has got to be glued up a second time yet. It's made from Celery Top and Myrtle.
I got some burnishing oil (Organoil) from the Hobart WWW and going to finish it with that this time to see how it comes up.

That is a really good effort Stub! Hate to think the hours that went there. Pretty sure finishing it will be the home stretch

Trav, the amount of wood depends on how thick the final board is going to be. I start by making two boards (for ease of machining) of alternate wood strips. In this case they were myrtle and celery top 10 pieces each, 40mm wide x 20mm thick x 580mm long.
I glued them alternately to give them the pattern. Next I trimmed off 20mm off one edge of each board so that I could get the "brick" pattern when you flip one of them over.
I then cut the two boards into 13 slices 40mm wide, giving me 26 slices. When you stand them on edge you then get 26 pieces x 20mm thick making a finished board of 520mm and 40mm thick.
The picture shows the slices all arranged but the still have to be glued up as yet. One thing to watch is to keep the slices in order, this ensures all the garin patterns match up.

Nice work Stub. I read your explanation a few times and finally got it. Fairly straightforward method to produce stunning results. Gotta love it.

Do you polish the endgrain after final glue up? ROS?
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Hi Stubchain,
What a beautiful thing! I'd get sidetracked when attempting to cut the onions, mesmerised by the timber!!

Tex, sorry that my post was a bit confusing, I could have put it better. This is the fourth board I have made and I'm learning every time.
Zen I'm going to attempt to burnish the end grain with Organoil, hope it turns out OK.

very nice, I always thought using 1" thick stock would end up too busy but it's not - it looks good.
