I saw a cutting board with interesting pattern on a SawMill Creek thread.

http://www.sawmillcreek.org/articles/2/

This inspired me for a simple project. This is a gift for a colleague who
just left my team.

I had some drops of black walnut and hickory from an earlier project.

I had purchasd some lacewood and bloodwood due to the unique grain of the
former and striking colour of the latter. I did not have any project in
mind at the time, but I thought they would add good contrast to a future
project.

The SawMill Creek tutorial starts with 1/32in strips and increments by
1/32in. This is a lot of wasted wood, even with a 3/32in thin kerf blade.

I used 1/8in for the starting strip and incremented by 1/8in. I did not
like the 1/8in strip being at the outside and so decided this would be a
good use of the lacewood.

Bloodwood for the cutting board ends.

Cutting board oil for the finish. This may not be used for cutting, but
just in case.

Oops, seems the file size in the email is much larger than the original.

Resized.

That's #*!&ing gorgeous. Big improvement on the original too.

Very nice -- that lacewood really adds some nice contrast

Might want to think twice about lacewood in a 'user' cutting board.
Cheese board probably OK but not cutting board.

Why's that?

I've never worked with lancewood, but as cool as it looks, I'd
appreciate the info.

Thanks!

The 'eyes' in lacewood are soft and would be too absorbent.

Thanks.
