I glued up two cutting boards out of radom scraps. Then I cut them into
1" pieces, mixed them up, and turned them so that all the end grain was
up, and glued them up.
About a pint of BLO later...

It looks and feels like smooth formica, except the detail is way beyond
what you could get in formica.

I am not sure I like it, but it is interesting.

It does look interesting, but end grain? Won't is suck up anything liquid
on it?
No, it is completely saturated with BLO. And I mean competely. If you
apply it to the top, some wicks out the bottom. Let it dry a while, apply
more, etc. It weights significantly more than the raw wood.
