I got this idea on another woodworking board and thought I'd give it a try. First I made hexagonal "sausages" out of walnut, cherry, and hard maple. Then I sliced the sausages into pieces.
Assembling all of the hexagons to make the cutting board is a lot harder than it would seem. Try as I might, the hexagons do not all come out exactly the same, so there are tiny gaps in some areas. It's also more difficult than you'd think to keep the orientation of each hexagon the same as you glue them together.
But the final product looks pretty good. I think I'll make several more for Christmas gifts.
