After sneaking peaks at the projects over at lumberjocks for a while I finally made my first cutting board.
I found a pretty nice redwood 4x4 at the big box store and had a 4x4 cull lumber (thought it might be pine, but am thinking it was Douglas Fir). I added part of a pine 2x6 I had laying around (again, thought the other one was pine too).
The goal was more contrast, but I am still pretty happy with the way things turned out. The boards are about 1-1/4 thick and 11x14 and 8x11.
I used my flat sander quite a bit on this project and finished the boards with walnut oil.
Was trying to figure out how to make a nice groove in the smaller one, but I either don't have the right bits or just can't quite figure it out.
