Project Information

Picking up from my last post, I still had to test the new walnut border to ensure I would have no problems prior to completing the two other boards intended for gifts.

We bought a full fresh turkey and gave the board a thorough workout with the board surface and gravy moat soaked and covered in juices and oils for over a half hour. The border held up terrific with no signs of stress or movement. We washed it clean and all was good. Passing the test, I finished off the other two boards with replacing the borders on one and finishing the boarders on the other and the end results are pictured here.

I'm glad I tried this tumbling block pattern, I learned a lot and I'm happy with the final results, although I had many stumblings on tumblings along the way. I think I'll give these tumblings a rest for quite a while.

Beautiful patterns and outstanding details. Do you think anyone will cut meat on such beauty. It's an art and should hang on some good spot in house so everyone could see it.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm a firm believer in if you make something to actually use, then actually use it…my intricate intarsia pieces can hang on the wall, but a cutting board should be used as it's intended. However, I do only intend on using it for holidays and special occasions as I have other everyday cutting boards for weekday meals.
