Live edge cuttingboard

It is very nice looking. I work with Spalted Maple quite a bit. It is very soft wood, not usually used for knifes to go over it. But it is pretty.

Very beautiful. Love the wood.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Thanks Duckster, I think this one will be a decorative piece. I love the combo.

How did you clamp the boards together? The live edge on both ends had to present a challenge.

Dan, I had to glue and clamp one side at a time using a scrap piece giving more surface to clamp.

looks fantastic!!!

Great spalted wood and great contrast. If you make end grain cutting boards, you not only have a better surface on which to cut, you have virtually endless design possibilities.

Here’s a butcher block table I made with spalted hickory. The planning took longer to accomplish than the cutting and gluing. I worked with a limited supply of hickory and took a lot of care in making the design come out on the table top. It sits on 3 1/2 inch square tapered legs.
