Cutting Boards

It's the end of the semester and time to highlight some of the more challenging cutting boards that were completed. 

This one shows true skill in aligning boards intersecting at right angles. In order to make this work, the joints must be cut at exactly 90 degrees. 

A lot of planning went into the pattern of this board. It is difficult to cut narrow boards accurately. 

This board shows true patience and persistence. Each successive layer had to be individually glued and re-squared. A small planer mishap almost derailed this project but the artist persisted. 

Many skills went into this project. The artist had to learn to cut the inside shape accurately and master the CNC machine. 


This is what A work looks like!
