Keytar End Grain Cutting Board

I finished this board earlier this week. It’s a little tweak on other piano boards I have seen. It is made with Maple, Cherry, and Walnut.

I have to thank JL7 for all the math he did (and then shared) of his piano boards

Years ago I took what I learned from JL7 and started milling my lumber into enough blanks to make three piano boards. I had a lot to learn and this project taught me a whole lot about accuracy and checking my tools for square. I got so frustrated that I put the blanks in a box and it sat on a shelf until last week. I found the box and decided to give it another go. I was able to salvage enough usable blanks to make this board. I’m grateful for the lessons and I’m glad I didn’t totally throw the project out because I think it’s my most favorite piece that I’ve made.
