    Great job Duane. So when you plan on hosting a workshop to show us all how you did the striped one?

    Re: Couple more cutting blocks

    Without an Incra fence, I think it would be difficult to cut the parts of increasing widths. Because the parts are so narrow, you have to cut them on the side outboard of the fence so each movement you have to move the fence one blade width plus the size of your part. I would be glad to show anyone how it is done, just PM me.

    I completed another one last night. A big shoutout to Chris_goris for the use of his Jet 22-44. This board wasn't that far out of level but I wanted to see how those drum sanders worked. I am sold on them. They may only take a small amount off with each pass but a little time and patience and you end up with nice flat smooth edges. Guess I'll have to keep a watch on CL for a 16-32 or a 22-44. If only I could have a small hit on the lottery, Woodcraft has 15% off Jet tools.

    Re: Couple more cutting blocks

    Edge grain is a lot more expensive than end grain correct?

    Would think end grain would be more expensive. Will probably try to tackle some end grain but will have to build a router sled before I try to tackle those.

    Awesome cutting boards! Like more the striped one, quite unique and interesting and great choice of contrasting woods.
