Very nice! I was thinking about building a dozen or so this year but
ran out of time.

Give this a try next year. ;~)

I have seen far less impressive pieces hanging on a wall of an art
gallery, for big money.

Because you are dealing with two different radius arcs for each run you
have to remove the exact same amount of material as what you are
replacing it with.

Looks like each strip is actually three strips. Is that so?


Actually most, the wider looking ones, are 1/2" and made up of 4, 1/8"
wide strips. Sometimes 1 walnut, 2 maple, and another walnut.

The trick is to insure that the strips will add up exactly to the width
that you remove.

Typically I use a pattern to guide a 1/2" top bearing flush cut bit to
cut about 1/8" deep into the glued up cutting board. I then cut down
that grove with the BS. Now the cutting board is two pieces.

With a larger flush cut bit I remove the remainder of the wood that the
1/2" bit started removing. The bearing rides against the 1/8" recess
created by the 1/2" bit.

Then sandwich and glue them all, the thin strips and the cutting board
pieces, back together. Do this whole procedure for each individual set
of stripes.
