End-grain cutting boards with 3D illusions, bricks, zigzags and optical checkerboards — plus a few turned bowls.
Every board starts as strips of contrasting hardwoods that I glue up, slice crosswise, then rotate and re-glue so the end grain faces up. The layout of those slices is what creates the tumbling cubes, brick walls and bulging checkerboards. Most have a juice groove, rounded edges and recessed hand-holds underneath.
The photos below are grouped by pattern. Each board is a little different, so the one shown may not be the exact board you receive — and I can make any pattern in your choice of woods.
