Serving tray/ charcuterie board...

[Trey1984]

Here's a serving tray made for a friend at work for him and his wife's anniversary. It's walnut, hard maple and purple heart. Have about 7 actual cutting boards making right now with this kind of design just with different species and sizes.

Love the color combination.
The purpleheart looks reddish.

That’s a fun combination and pattern.

My first thought after enlarging the pictures was WOW! That's nice.

Nice work.
I saw a Fine WWing article a few years back that described the technique - is that what you followed? Seems like you have progressed past that as there are terminated lines in your design. Any process notes you can share? I love this style, but am not likely the invest the time necessary to do this well (impatience!).
What is your finally finish? Looks reasonably glossy and I notice your did not call these cutting boards (haha - be crazy to take a sharp knife to these!)

Thanks. I actually seen a post on this site from a member who makes them. Really liked them so found a video by Fisher on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/watch?v=u1bVVpAxF7k&si=_94pZKXRnCtohswH
I done 6 different glue ups for this board. The main trick that I figured out is after you cut out your pattern on the bandsaw is when you go to sand the mill marks away. Just barely remove them. The thin strip is too fill the gap from your bandsaw kerf so it needs to be the width of your blade. I used tried and true linseed oil. The reason look so glossy because just put the finish on it. The last picture was how it looked and I used walrus oil wood wax.
