I exchanged some ideas with a young craftsman in OR who makes these chaos boards. He uses a product with the name "Walrus Oil" which is a product made with beeswax and coconut oil. I order a quart of it from Walmart this morning and plan to use it on my Etsy products. It was made for cutting boards and my penpal swears by it.
Here is one of his small 10 x 7 cheese and appetizer boards. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cutting-Board-Oil-by-Walrus-Oil-32oz/268569924

I've heard about it but made my own version using mineral oil and beeswax. I've read "somewhere" that using any of the vegetable/fruit oils could go rancid on you so veer away from them. Not saying this will just internet research for what it's worth. This guy does a good job of explaining YOUTUBE

This YouTube guy is the first I've heard say that walnut oil will go rancid. I've heard dozens of people say that the nut oils will not go rancid but vegatable and olive oil will. I've used walnut oil for many years and have never had it go rancid. https://www.earlywooddesigns.com/bl...food-safe-oils-which-type-should-you-be-using talks about this.

That padauk adds greatly to the looks, especially next to the sugar maple. What is the greenish wood?

I just watched the YouTube video that was linked in the first note in this thread. The guy used Walrus Oil for his finished boards. Did not notice that until now.
I’m just writing something because I can’t find a button that says “follow”.

The easiest way to do it Ken is to post this icon:
Or if you look at the top right under the thread name it says Watch Thread. Click that and then you can follow it without posting anything.

I've never seen poplar used in a cutting board. You are breaking new ground. It does add some color, though.
I don't like it!! But it's already there!
crosscut both panels, swapped 5 strip from each and rearranged and rolled endgrain up - ready for last glue up
Both rearranged still showing face grain
5 strips interchanged, rearranged and rolled to endgrain - Ready for final glue up - my new parallel clamps should be here Friday
Personally I don't use Poplar in mine, it's way too soft IMO.

I think using it in a end-grain board would be okay but it's certainly not as cut resistant as the other species. The way Barry laid out the final pattern does minimize the potential problem IMO.

That's a lot of work but the results are amazing. Has your wife seen it yet? I bet those are heavy. Are you going to cut them into smaller boards?
Yes she has but I made the mistake of showing her this one also (3D BOARD) . Yes they are heavy!! That means quality right? Nope they are going to stay that size ~12" x ~16"
