Woodshop

It's been a while, but I am getting back into the woodshop. I found some scraps of mahogony, walnut, maple, and ambrosia wormwood maple and decided to put them together.


Here is an end-grain cutting board made of mahogony and maple. I still have some sanding to do before I oil it. The oil should really bring out the mahogony.

This board is maple and walnut with thin mahogony strips.

And finally, I started a chess board out of the ambrosia maple and mahogony. It will have a thin border of zebrawood around the edges. I plan on making the chess pieces out of glass. This should keep me busy for a while.
