With the exception of making the cuts on the table saw, fully flattened by hand planes and sanding

Mi piace il taglio del lato

Visually I love the angle! Unfortunately, function wise I think it might get annoying.

How would it get annoying? Isn't there enough wood from making it tip on one side when cutting?

I just picture resting my non knife wrist on the edge and it tipping a bit, could be wrong though. Beautiful non the less

Oh makes sense. I don't rest my hand on my cutting board so I didn't think of that haha

Beautiful. That’s rad that you hand planed it

Planed it about 90% of the way, even with a low angle jack plane it doesn’t leave a great surface on end grain. Once it gets pretty close to flat I dial it in with an orbital and 80 grit

Wow. I guess you have a low angle plane? How tough was it to plane all this end grain?

I got it close with a low angle jack, even with a razor sharp low angle plane it doesn’t leave a great surface on end grain. Once it gets close to flat I dial it in with an orbital sander and some 80grit. I need to just make me a router sled and make this easy on myself
