tcarswell Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 In a month I'll have a qswo rocker to show off a bit but at the moment I remembered yesterday I had a few Christmas projects to start on. I did my wife's first it's an edge grain cutting board with her three favorite woods in it. Woods used are Ipe Purpleheart And black walnut trim Hope you enjoy stay safe guys !

tcarswell Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks so much guys. I'll keep the little goof ups to myself this is my fifth cutting board I also made a tile table but my current project the rocking chair is the reason I got into woodworking (high hopes I know but it's coming along great ) so wish me luck guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Looks good ! You might have some problems with the crosspieces at the ends. The long grain boards will expand and contract in width and the crosspieces will not move much at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yeah I got those backwards noticed that today unfortunately. It would be ok in the opposite orientation right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would just cut them off before the board cracks. I like the look of well sanded end grain. Start coarse and work through the grits to 220 or finer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I hadn't thought of that good call. Revised cutting board coming on up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
