Making of a Bowl Blank or an End Grain Cutting Board
« on: March 24, 2011, 07:47:43 pm »
I first selected contrasting woods. Hard Maple, Purple Heart and Brazilian Cherry. 

Step 1


I cut them to different widths, aranged them then glued them together.

Step 2


With the first raft glued together I marked off strips that were 3/4 of an inch wide.


Step 3


Step 4



Steps 3 and 4 I arranged the strips i just cut so that end grain was up and checked fit

Step 5


I glued them all together making sure that the piece looked visually straight

Step 6


I used my flat 18 in drum sander ( similar to a sand flee ) to smooth and flatten both sides.

Closeup Detail


At this point I have either a bowl blank or an end grain cutting board of high quality.  I have not decided yet which :)

NICE Job!!!

Being a cook I would opt for the cutting board...BUT you might have the starting block for one hell of an interesting FLOOR!!!
