Hey all – yet another end grain board…..a bit of a creative block going here so I find these builds a good way to break the block….But first – thanks to my friends for reaching out wondering where my new projects are…..appreciate it!Here's the build blog:1. Scrounge the bins for Maple, Cherry and Walnut2. Do not measure anything3. Glue up blanks dictated solely on the stock on hand4. Plane until flat5. Formulate plan6. Find the glue, blue tape, dozuki saw and F-clamps7. Do 2-3 glue-ups per day for 3 weeks or so with a ton of sanding between each one – noting that plan was abandoned after glue-up #28. Empty dust bin9. A bit of router table work10. TONS of sanding11. Apply mineral oil and little feet12. Realization that you will starve to death if you are planning on making a living doing things this waySo that's it – those little accent strips (9 bands of them) are also end grain, so that takes some time…..did I mention this was a LOT of glue-ups? I'm quite sure this is my new record for a single board.Note – Pic 5 is the blanks less the thin strips and Pic 6 is before the oil.Thanks for looking…......
