Hey DAB...
...I sent my dad some of your cutting board threads and asked if he could build one. He made a few and asked which one I liked the best. I chose this one. He hadn't made anything with end grain pieces before, and that offered him a challenge (which I think he liked.) It's not too crazy, just walnut, oak and maple he had in his scrap pile. Thanks for the inspiration!

Very cool. I try to avoid having glue lines line up in two directions. Tell him to keep at it. Only limited by imagination. I'll be posting one tomorrow for give away. Just a little board. About 6-1/2x11. |

FYI: red oak is a poor choice for use in a cutting board, as it's an open grain wood. White oak is a closed grain wood, and that's why it is used for whiskey barrels.
I'd still use it for non-meat items. And keep it sealed and treated with beeswax/mineral oil. |

I will pass this along! He normally makes furniture so doing something like this is totally different for him. It is oiled with butcher block oil. Is that okay?
