Time Lapse video shot on my 7D. I made this to show the steps necessary to glue together this cutting board that I made. The cutting board is made from purpleheart, wenge, and ash wood… and a lot of glue.
I had trouble with the glue-up, actually. I think that I should have used Titebond II instead of III for the longer setup time. Oh well. It works pretty well but there were a few splits I had to correct.
I made this using ash, wenge, and purple heart. I haven’t applied finish yet because I really want the purple to pop out. I’ll give it a good soak in Salad Bowl finish when the purple has come back. I would have given my left arm for a drum sander on this project. Instead I finished the whole thing using a card scraper and sandpaper!

The video was a nice bonus… attention to grain orientation and continuity makes the difference between good and great.,.. this is great..

This is great. Not only did you show us a really neat cutting board – you also showed us how to make one ourselves. Thanks for posting.

That is a superb looking cutting board. Back in junior high, a cutting board was my first project.

Wow, thanks everyone!
This is my first woven cutting board. Prior to this I made a couple of Wood Whisperer boards though. It wound up pretty good considering my inexperience, I think. Sadly there’s a bit of warping in it that has caused it to crack. Got to figure out a way to fix that now.
