Bottle Tesselation End Grain Cutting Board

Some new end grain cutting boards for wedding gifts.

I wanted to make something different and unique, and after hours of searching online, I think I can say these are one of a kind, and maybe the first of their kind.

The “bottles” are walnut and cherry, bordered by maple. Boards are about 12” x 18”, 1.5” thick.

I learned a lot from this project, especially how much I need a router table. Trim routing from the template I made onto the cutouts was a little rough. And don’t get me started on the template. Getting that thing perfect took a long time, if I could go back and do it again, I’d pay the $80 to have a template made from a CNC machine or from a 3D printer, it’d be well worth it.

Hope y’all enjoy, and I hope this inspires many of you as you have done so for me.

Thanks,
Forder
