Just got my first end grain board finished today. Walnut and hickory for the mortar. I love the contrast between the two woods but the hickory is tough on the planer..

Just awesome. Fantastic work.

Its beautiful. Is it all end grain or a mixture of end and long grains?

 

[etscc69]

Yes the hickory is long edge grain.

For your first one, that looks great!! Gonna wait for my skills to get better to try one!!

Looks great.

I like how the center hickory pieces almost look as if they are creating a shadow which almost gives it a 3D look. That gives me an idea when i choose wood for a project in the future.

That looks great. I agree about the contrasting woods, really makes it look sharp.

 

[gideon]

cool!

how did you make it? been trying to figure that pattern out. did you have plans?

 

[etscc69]

:icon_smile:Gideon I actually got the idea from Kenbo here on woodworking talk and posted above in this thread (shout out to Kenbo and thanks man for the inspiration), and there are also several tutorials found on the web, but I had no plans to look at. thanks to all the commenters.....steve
