I made the first board to use when I cut up chickens to make cat food.  My neighbor admired the board, and as she was going to take care of my cats and house for a few weeks, I made the second board for her.  I wanted to try something different, hence the diamonds.  Both boards have two coats of General Finishes Salad Bowl varnish to seal the pores (no film build-up) and then have beeswax and mineral oil rubbed on and buffed off.  Titebond III holds the boards together.  3/8" roundover on all edges.

If you go to http://thewoodwhisperer.com/bobs-12-diamond-cutting-board/ I gave an explanation there, and there are also a few intermediate photos there. Essentially I routed a 72-degree Vee in two 8/4 purpleheart boards, then used the bandsaw and jointer to cut 18-degree sides from the yellowheart.
