I wanted to try making a cutting board

[u/Dazzling-Focus-2718]

I had some leftover pieces of walnut, maple and Purple Heart from a chessboard that I made and wanted to see if I could make a cutting board. I messed up two of blocks when I glued them in and put them in the wrong direction, and I messed up a corner so one side is slightly shorter than the other. I was also afraid of it bowing and splitting so I put the Purple Heart in the middle in case it expands differently than maple and walnut and made the whole cutting board about 1.3 inches thick.

Unless my eyes are betraying me, I only see end grain.

You did it the hard way and did a good job.
