March 2010 Cutting Boards

Here are a few cutting boards I made for folks. These boards were my first attempt at using bloodwood and it ultimately hooked me. They turned out so nice, I immediately headed back to the lumber yard to buy more. In our red kitchen the colors seemed to come to life. Too bad I couldn't keep them. These were sold before the finish was dry. Two more happy customers.

A pair of bloodwood, maple and walnut boards made for a client. Recessed handles and rounded edges.

A close up view of the grain patterns. Selecting the right pieces in the lumber yard pays off when you can achieve a flowing grain across all species.

A walnut, maple cherry board before applying the finish. This was a medium-sized board and was made extra thick as an experiment. Was nice and heavy and finished beautifully.
