Hey Rich, if you check back in, why on earth would I ignore that roast!
Bob, that's some pretty curly maple! I hope it's scrap from making beautiful mandolins, violins or, banjo necks!
Nice board!
I'm a VERY LUCKY guy, some friends of long standing (never "old") are top notch instrument makers, cabinetmakers, and artists of many genres, design with respect to best use of material is important to all of them. My grill table is repurposed stock from cypress brewery vats! I have smoke wood from another friend who gifts me a nice big box of "short cut" cherry he uses for winter heating, maple for my small projects (like handles) from both guys! Great ways to be responsible!
Thanks Ed It's 9 1/2 x 23 1/2 only because thats what I had on hand at the time. Seems like it should be fine,That is a gorgeous cutting board, Bob! Love the light and dark color contrast. What are the dimensions?
Thanks Cliff. Much appreciated.That's a beautiful board. Looking at that, it reminded my of High School Woodshop. A lot of the guys made those (obviously not the quality of yours). I went with the small cabinet, which I still have. Hey Rich, if you check back in, why on earth would I ignore that roast!
Nice boards!
Man, I'm jealous.

I had one once that had a "guitar shaped" blood gutter made out of maple from the Gibson company! I should have not given that one away! Why am I so generous?!
OK thanks Rich.Bob, I missed your question about the dimensions of the groove..... I just measured the one I have, and it's 3/4" wide, with a depth that is about 1/4" (I don't have a great tool for measuring the depth.....) When I carved the roast I posted above, there was quite a bit of juice on the board, and this groove caught it all without spillover......

Great looking board!
Was just digging through my scrap pile trying to find enough to build a tortilla press. Looking like purple heart, maple and I don't know what else so far.
