The first turned out a little wilder than I expected.
The second has greyish handles.
The third has brown handles. It is a duplicate of one I made last time and really liked.
My daughter can pick one for her mother-in-law.
All the boards but one so far have gone to family members. The one went to the fellow who gave me some burls. The grandchildren can pick one in twenty years. I’ll have to start on great grandchildren next.
I don’t know about everyone else but the juice groove is where I find I have to be most focused. They are all in the 12” by 18” by 2” range.

These are all great boards John. I need to add the juice grove in my next boards. They really stand out. Nice work.

Great job on the boards! I started making my cutting boards and matching cheese cutters using the wild design and never went back to a normal design. I don’t do a juice groove. I need to make a jig for that.

Patience, those really took patience. The 3rd one is my pick. It has a calming effect after viewing number 1. Good job on the glue up on all three.

Very chaotic but I like them.
Reminds of modern era paintings.
Would look good in a frame.
