That's a great first board. Looks like you've got the technique down to a science. I didn't see anywhere, if you mentioned what type of glue you used. Just be sure to use a water proof glue such as titebond III that way, your board wont fall apart after being washed a few times.

If you need more information, feel free to check out the tutorial thread on end grain cutting boards.

Second, oak is not the greatest cutting board material as it is too porous.

There is oak and then there is oak .
Which one are you referring to ?

Not bad at all for a first attempt. :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone. I used titebond 2

I think it looks great and I had no idea oak was that porous. You did really well.

The random humidor looks good too; I envy those dovetails.
