Tiger maple border
Angle cut for ebony arrows
Checking center miter before gluing
9 block cut in half, and the two halves leaning together.  I used two dowels in the purpleheart to stop movement while clamped.  The yellowheart didnt need a dowel as the wedging action of clamping pulled the glue-line tight.

Nautical theme end-grain cutting board made from tiger maple, hard maple, gaboon ebony, purpleheart and yellowheart.  This is solid wood, 16 x 14 x 2 1/8.  It weighs just under 12 pounds.  Finished with two coats of thinned salad bowl finish, and then mineral oil and bees' wax. 


Design or Plan used: My own design

I hope your son is okay, Marines have never been known to pull easy duty.

Thanks for the comment on the cutting board.
