My son (32 yr. old) wanted a cutting board, so I took my time and made something that will last him a lifetime! The squares are just under 1" square, and are about 2 inches high. I started with 1 x 1 x 4", and made the basic pattern of the X, by gluing up individual (short) rows, then after all rows were glued up, I cut them in half, and repeated the pattern. The light cubes are dogwood, the dark ones walnut, and the center squares are canary wood.

now that my son has used it for about 18 months (almost daily), it looks like this. He enjoys cooking a lot!
He tells me that he oils it with mineral oil regularly and keeps it clean.
