End grain cutting board

[Maverick]

First time making an end grain cutting board. Walnut and maple, approximately 12” x 18” x 1 1/8 thick. Used CNC to surface it, route the juice groove and the handles. Enjoyed the process, even the sanding wasn’t that bad.

Really nice!! I like the contrast in the colors, but also the creative pattern you chose.

Thank you @SA-Motors. Shout out to https://www.cbdesigner.org/ for his free designer program. Made the designing and visualization before I even started cutting wood much easier.

Sooooo nice! Can’t say enough complimentary adjectives about it! Where did you buy the feet for it? Chuck

Beautiful board. I really like how you paid attention to the way the grain in the walnut aligns into diamonds. And the walnut is a gorgeous color, more black - grey than brown. Nice.

Ooh. That’s good. Really good. I’m not very good at cutting boards. In general I try to avoid them.

I like that pattern, I'm in the process of making an end grain brick pattern cutting board, it will be my first attempt, we'll see how it goes. You did a great job.

Thank you, I used Walrus Oil and then buffed it with the Beall buffing system.

This thread has some comments as far back as Sept. 13 that never showed up. Today had 2 that caused the 5 that I also hadn't seen come in as new posts. .
It has answered my question of what to send @Maverick for guessing what the material was of that rock with all the holes I posted a week or 2 ago.

What I will send you is some Mesquite and Palo Verde. Both are food grade wood according to Arizona State University. Palo Verde is a white wood and Mesquite is dark, which you already knew. They will be 4 squares of 1 1/2 x 12 x12 two Palo Verde and 2 Mesquites. ............. Nubs
