Great looking board. Maybe one day I will have one that nice.

How is that done? Is there a trick to getting the weave? Amazing!

The only trick is planing the individual blocks to the exact dimensions (within 0.001 inch) and using a slow set glue for assembly. I used titebond II extend. I also made a gluing jig that kept the sides square and applied pressure from the top so it wouldn’t explode when tightened down the clamps.

wow. those joints are very tight. i don’t have the patience to do that design.

Very Nice. I would love to have the patience to do that. I will have to give it a try next summer.

Did you laminate the narrow walnut strips to the wider maple strips as a early step? Or should we keep guessing?
