In another post I detailed my experience making my first end grain cutting board. Following that, I decided to make a drunken cheese cutting board. Using dimensions from memory, I made the board a half inch too narrow for the slicing wire kit I use. Not really a big deal since it was really a practice piece but I thought the board(s) looked too cool to just pitch. So, I decided make a keepsake box – another first for me. I used cherry and maple on the top with cherry sides and bottom. I think the sapwood offers a nice design feature. The miter splines are also maple and another first for me. Not sure what to do with it or who will eventually get this as I still have to put on a finish coat but I think it is kinda cool!
Take off a full blade, nope, too long, now take off 1/2 blade, nope, too long, now take off 1/4 blade - How the H--- can it be 1/4" short????
