Zig Zag Cutting Board

2024

This is an end grain cutting board I made with a zig zag pattern. I glued walnut and maple boards together, cut them at an angle, and squared them off.

Then I glued end pieces to it, squared the stocks, and assembled them together in the pattern. Once that was together I crosscut the pieces and assembled them into the final board.
