    doesn’t look sharp. doubt you’ll be able to cut anything with that board.

    if you need this:

    started taking classes at the local guild. this is my first real piece that isn’t just a dimensioned pine board or something.

    pretty happy with it and excited to learn more

      you have to decide on several thicknesses that get smaller and cut both woods to those widths, then alternate large to small for each in opposite directions and alternate the colors.

      did the majority of the cutting on a table saw

    for someone who never had a cutting board before, you did an amazing job

    did you look at pictures, or did someone lend you a model to work from

      thanks! our teacher showed us a few pictures at the start of the class for different cutting board styles and we decided which one to do. i chose this since he said it was good for practicing with the table saw. he helped me with providing some initial measurements but i deviated from that plan since I didn’t have enough wood and i really wanted a side grain cutting board rather than a face grain so i had to figure out some new measurements.

    Interesting pattern, certainly eye catching. Are we seeing the bottom or are the handles symmetrical top/bottom?

      that is the bottom. the top looks much the same without the handles
