    Default Post your CUTTING BOARDS

    Hi,

    I will soon be starting another Butchers Block for a mate of mine. I have done a couple before but I am thinking of trying something a little different when I make the Block, but, I'm not sure what I want to do.

    I would like to see some different end grain patterns than just the norm, so if you have done something out of the box, please post it & show it off.

    Thanks in advance.

    Steve

    You may have seen this one before, but I think it's fantastic.

    G'day Mate,

    Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that page before, but I am familiar with the style of board. Somebody, & it might even be the woodwisperer has even written software to calculate the timber required & the pattern it generates.

    I have downloaded the free software, but there is some issues with it and 64bit vista. I'll have a play with it at some stage.

    Sadly, this thread was not well received on the forum. I was hoping for some different patterns & styles. Maybe people think a simple cutting board is not that exciting, but I enjoy building one every now & then.

    Anyway, thanks for the link.

    That looks amazing!
    I presume you cut the widths on a bandsaw?

    I cut the strips with a table saw using the Incra ultralite jig but you could do it just as well using only the rip fence on the table saw.

    Steve, not really a cutting board, but I'm currently in the process of making a cheese board / serving platter. Filled holes with resin.

    I made the Wood Whisperer bread board, and being end grain it ended up looking like a fruit bowl!
    if cupped that badly.

    Simon, That looks great. I like doing cheese boards as well, but Iv'e never really finished one. I've started 3, but they well all snapped up before I was really finished with them. I have a few bits of nice timber set aside for another go at some stage.

    Here's a a chopping block I did a few years ago.

    Hi Darren,
    Couldn't get to your website. At least, from an iPad anyway.
