Big picture, small project!

[sapwood]

After following the sage advice of fellow NCWoodworkers, I have applied two coats of mineral oil/paraffin wax mix to cutting board. Finished off with 0000 steel wool.

Thanks folks, this simple project is only 3 weeks overdue :lol:

Nice, Roger:eusa_clap ....I love your choice of wood colors. Three weeks isn't a long time to wait on a custom piece...unless you're familiar with DaveO's prolific production rates!!!:lol: I'll be happy to wait three weeks for MINE!
Keep up the great work,

Roger, that is beautiful. I love the color combination, shape and hand hold. What kinds of wood did you use?

Hey Roger,

That's a perfect example of art and woodwork. Color / wood selection and arrangement is terrific.

Very nice Roger. :icon_thum How did you cut your hand hole?

 

[nelsone]

Nicely done! I may have to take a shot at making one soon.

Thanks folks. :mrgreen:
It's walnut, soft maple, yellowheart, and purpleheart. Forstner bit for the hole and router roundover all around. I was hoping for more contrast, but not surprisingly the oil added an amber hue to maple.

That's gorgeous work, Roger! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The mix of wood looks spectacular! That handle/hole is unique and clever!

Almost too nice to see it get scratched up putting it to good use!

Nice looking cutting board! Only problem I see is... your cup holder looks a little crooked. :-?

[MarkW]

Great choice of woods. Great job. If I had a cutting board that looked that good all it would be is a countertop decoration, I wouldn't want to put a knife to it. How did you mix the paraffin and the mineral oil? Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
