About a year ago, I made two posts with the first one showing a decorative cutting board that I called "A Diamond in the wood", and the second one I called "How about a Double Diamond?" The "wonderful Photobucket" has made changes and the photos are no longer shown. So, I have uploaded them here:
The reason I am re-posting them is that I have had several requests for information on how I made these.
So, I have prepared some PDF files on both that show how I created the patterns and then how I actually made them. If anyone would like to have copies of these, send me a Private Message with your email address and I wil send you a set (there is a total of 8 PDF files, 4 for each board.

There is a fine line between woodworking and insanity - sometimes I am not sure which side of the line I am on.

Great job!
For your next project/challenge (One which I couldn't do), make one with the 3D illusion where you adjust your eyes to see the built in figures or movements.

I would start with a different project. There's no telling if the illusion would really come through with wood, anyway.
