My wife had been asking me to make her a new cutting board so for Christmas I did. I had to give it to her on Christmas morning just glued up but not planed or finished. I was able to get a great deal on a planer at sears the day after Christmas so I got it planed, put a round over on the top edge, sanded up to 220 grit and finished it by letting it soak up mineral oil until it would soak anymore then made a mineral oil and beeswax mix and rubbed it on and let it sit for 15 minutes before buffing it, all finished up today. This is my first cutting board I've made and I'm impressed with it. It looks so much better than her old one and I've not seen anything at the stores that look a nice. I made it with maple, and cherry, Paduk and yellow heart for my accent woods.
Here's the pics. First pic is clamping it to get my design, then gluing, sanded, gifted, planed, sanded again, edged, finished. Should all be in order. Think I'll definitely make more for gifts and to sell on my website
