A Unique Cutting Board
Clever process creates innovative inlayThis high-style cutting board features curved inlay that extends through the full thickness of the board so it is visible on the top, bottom, and both ends. Scott Lewis creates this unique look using a single router template and laminated strips of contrasting wood. By routing away the same amount of material as he is adding to each curve, Lewis makes the inlay fit perfectly. Follow his step-by-step instructions to design and build your own.

What different species of wood was used for the laminated strips?
Thanks
I'd like to know who makes that fluting bit. I haven't been able to find one that large.
For anyone else wondering about the fluting bit used for the finger grips, check the video at the link below. This page has a link to it and it's called "3/4-inch Edge Fluting Bit". I think the full reference is: Woodline WL-1475, 3/8″ Radius, 3/4″ Cut Length, 1-1/2″ Dia, 1/2″ Shank.

thanks!
I've found that, using a good sharp ½ inch 6 tpi bandsaw blade, there's no need for routing the curves - the sawn edges can be glued together directly, seamlessly if they are cut together with the two boards to be joined one on top of the other. I learnt this technique from Larry Chant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXCLwxR0SE4) and it really is very quick and easy once the bandsaw is properly tuned.
I've used it for boxes and bandsawn boxes. If I'd used a curve cutting template (Fine Woodworking Nov/Dec 2018), the resulting curves would have been smoother. Here's a couple of examples:
