I think every woodworker has made a few cutting boards in their lifetime. They are not the most exciting thing to build but at the same time, it is fun to experiment with different patterns.
Pictured is a one of my cutting boards that I make for a high end kitchen store. It is made from Maple and Mahogany and finished with mineral oil and beeswax. I do have my own style and I try and stay away from a normal cutting board. I like to build boards that cannot be found at your local Walmart or Target; my stuff is always unique.
So though cutting boards can be a little boring to many woodworkers, I think they can be fun when you make the boards your own and style.

Nice looking pattern of woods.
You are right I suspect that all woodworkers sometime make a cutting board.

Nice wood combinations, nice finish. I’m still waiting for my cutting board. At least the one worth of posting on LJ.

Thanks! It is one of my favorites. It has taken many cutting boards before I made one I loved and felt worthy of posting.

Very nice job. I like the pattern. Take a look around and you’ll find that cutting boards are not necessarily a beginner project. They can be rather complex.
