Bunch O' End Grain Boards

You’ve certainly been busy !! Good to see your talents being displayed here. What finish did you use on these ?

-- I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more uncertain!

oh my, #4 looks like a ton of gluing, it turned out looking nice though with all those tiny pieces thrown around

Thanks Dusty – mineral oil is the finish on all of it.

That’s some cutting board bling! Whoever ends up with them is going to like them a bunch. I think I like 4 (with the border) the best, but the central square in number 5 is certainly a nice focal point.

Thanks for posting!

They are all awesome.
Gosh some look real ‘Beefy’ as you said. I dont think they would wear out quickly!!!

Nice!! How thick is the flooring?

Stunning boards…especially #1.
Nobody is going to want to cut on them.

I don’t usually comment on cutting boards but these are pretty amazing Jeff. I agree with Steve, I would hang them on a wall, not cut food on them. Outstanding pieces.

Dang! Didn’t even want to sign in today but now I gotta comment on a couple of these boards. To my eye, the first one you couldn’t have selected a better combination (colors) of woods. Don’t know how the combination of cocobolo and yellowheart can look so subtle… but somehow it manages.

The first #4 (with the wee pieces) is, again, a great combination of colors (contrast). The difference the small pieces make over and above the other #4 is striking.

And the one with the center square (and the clever book-matchied Diamond) is nothing shy of elegant. Beings that this one “really didn’t finish that well”, I ‘spose I could be big hearted and trade you something for it.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

Topamax – the flooring is standard 3/4”, but once you plane (or resaw) the grooves off the bottom, it’s pretty much 1/2” thick, give or take…..

Thanks for all the great comments!

These are great! I really like the yellowheart in contrast with the cocobolo, something new to me and it works very well. #4 is wonderful, great colors and pattern, well done on every one of these, thanks for sharing,

These look great! You did a wonderful job of pulling various woods together. I particularly like the not-so-random board.
