Another Christmas present ready to be wrapped. My first attempt at this type of ww'ing. Thanks DaveO for the inspiration. This started out to be two separate cutting boards using a plan called "Landscape Cutting Board". After preparing them, I set them side by side and liked the new look, so I trimmed them a little and this is what I got.

SWEEEEET! I really like that. You did very good on it too  Those are some tight curves, did you have to soak, steam or otherwise persude the pinstripes to bend that tight?
Great job, awesome gift!
Dave

Dave, I soaked the strips in water, then clamped everything together and let it dry. Then removed the clamps, let it dry some more and applied glue (T-III) and applied the clamps again.

I had to soak some PH strips for one that I made. The next one I tried less tight of curves. I still had some trouble clamping everything together. I will probably soak the strips in the next batch I make this weekend.

Dolan that is gorgeous! Man, I like it!!
That board should spend its life as "counter art". I hope a knife never kisses it.

great looking board.
If you do much of that bending - might suggest you check out mike dunbar ( the windsor chair guy) site, i believe he has a great little steamer that could cut down on bending time. I it's a easy do-it-yourself steamer. | |
