Big Stripey Boards

This is a new (to me) design for a cutting board, and I REALLY like how it turned out… it’s about an inch and an eighth thick, or 9/8 as we drummers like to say, and made of four species of wood… it has little rubber feet as it’s intended to sit out on the counter, and the feet help keep its bottom dry… there’s also a pair of recessed finger grooves to make it easier to grab hold of… and the edges are all chamfered…

I made two boards from the same lamination: I basically made a two-foot cutting board and then cut it in half before adding the final details… the design is based on an article on Fine Woodworking’s website (although the two-boards-at-once part was my idea)…

One of these is going in our kitchen as soon as I finish typing this… the other is looking for a home, so don’t be shy… B-)
