cutting board design

Hey Broda
You must not have searched here there are a lot of great cutting boards, check out Dagoose work and many others.

I uploaded the spreadsheet to here:

Couldn't find the original post. This is NOT my work but I couldn't remember the LJ who did it.

thanks for your replies everyone.
theres alot of good info there but not quite what i was looking for. what i remember is somebody using microsoft excel to design them. using the little squares and giving them colours to see what it was going to look like before they made it.

Is this it?

no but thanks anyway poroskywood

The file that Lew linked to called "Cutting Board Patterns" is the excel file I played with to layout some of my designs. It uses Shape Art as the wood instead of the cells on a spread sheet.

Here is a quick and dirty excel sheet you can use for starters….cutting board maker

Use the color shading to tweak the cells to represent what you want. You can then drag a particular cell to copy that color into additional cells.

Hope this helps.
