My first 3d cutting board

Very nice.

Did all the joints turn out as tight as you imagined?

Thanks! I can find flaws in there. I need to be more patient with the next one.

I never get tired of seeing these. I keep telling myself I will make one one day! Great work and the beauty of making something is that generally it is only you who notices the or knows about the mistakes, but I feel the mistake make it more real and enjoyable!

Thanks! It was fun to make. I’ve got a second one in the works

Very nice. I still don’t have the guts to try one yet.

Love it…

Thank you! I use 8/4 poplar for practice before I dove into the good stuff :)

How long are the sides of the individuals pieces? I’ve seen these everywhere but no one provides this detail?

Yeah it took a while watching and reading about these. I finally experimented and got it. Let’s say you’re starting with 8/4 stock. You rip the edge all the way down the board @60 degrees which will read on the table saw as 30 degrees. You measure that edge at the angle then move your fence that far for your next 60 degree cut. I did the 3 woods at the same time to make sure they were all the same. Don’t measure the thickness measure the length of the angle. That’s the best I can describe it. I glue the 3 colors together then cross cut them the next day on the bandsaw. Hope I helped.

Really nice job. Thank you for the detailed answers in the comments. Really helpful for those of us who are tentative to try our luck on one of these.

-- Measure, cut, curse, repeat.

Thanks! No prob
