Parents requested some cutting board but wanted a more high end thicked board. These are all made of Paduk and Beli.
looks cool but you may have some problems with wood movement?welcome to lumber jocks.
Thank You I am new to all of this, just beginning. Could you explain what you mean or point me in the right direction to research?
The stripped one has grain running in 3 different directions. Wood likes to expand and contract perpendicular to the grain. So that one might start to break apart. I wouldn’t sweat it. That second one is beautiful with the diamond pattern. Nice work!
the diamond pattern one should be an art piece hanging on your wall.
I was about to say the grain being so random looks like it will be fighting itself this winter. But otherwise good job.
This is a beautiful board and so nicely done.
Great work organizing the grain into such nice patterns but I worry that the mix of end grain and long grain will cause the end grain to split come the dry season (winter). Beautiful.
Thank you all for the advice! I will keep an eye on that one, and great tips for later! Thank you!!
I agree the Diamond is a piece of art!
