My latest end grain board, maple and walnut squares with a cherry border. Really happy with the alignment on this one. It’s really easy for the wood strips to slide during the clamping process.

I had this board on the back burner while I was finishing up some custom order boards. This one is thinner than originally planned because I messed up cutting the juice groove. So I just planed it down and ... problem solved!

These end grain boards are made from oak and zebrawood, surrounded by walnut. I love the way the randomness of the zebrawood grain contrasts with the regular oak grain.

End grain walnut and maple cutting board measuring 15" x 12" x 1". Decided to keep it simple with no juice groove or finger slots.

This end-grain board features padauk with cherry diamonds. I really love the rich red-orange color of padauk (pronounced pah-DUKE). I also like the contrasting grain patterns.

This is my companion piece to my earlier mountain scene board. The glue up was definitely trickier with two mountains. This one is going to my sister.

Just finished my first cheese board/slicer (I actually made two, but I'm keeping one for myself). This one will be going up on Etsy. It came out really well, I think. I love how the curly maple and the thin strip of pau amarello (yellow heart) contrasts with the red/orange padauk. By the way, this delicious cheese came from Guggisberg Cheese in Millersburg, Ohio in the heart of Ohio Amish country.
