Project Information

Earlier this week, I was itching to make something, and I had an idea in my head for a round argyle cutting board… the problem: I was too lazy to mill any lumber. We have a pretty large scrap pile, so I went digging. I found a few smaller pieces of cherry, a 2" x 12" piece of bubinga, and some random scraps of walnut.

The squares are 2 1/2 inches. I cut 8 cherry and 8 walnut. Then two 1/4 inch strips of bubinga. I assembled this in the same manner as my rectangle boards (except fewer squares). I made sure the really pretty figured walnut would be featured in the center and that all wood grain would run in the same direction so I could plane it after clamping.

Planed. Circle cut. Hole Drilled. Sanded to 320. Oiled. Waxed. Hooray!!

Looks pretty good for wood that was destined for the fireplace.

Yes, it was square. I drew the circle with a compass and cut it on the bandsaw.

Argyll has nothing to do with shiver me timbers sorry Argyll or Argyle where I live, both spellings are acceptable incidently, is very much Scottish and shiver me timbers is very much English LOL true.
Hopefully we will soon be free of westminster's london parliaments rule over us and able to make our own choices in life.LOL sorry just couldn't resist that.
