Beech and Maple Cutting Board with a Dove

My dad is one of those people that used to occupy houses and throw stones to change the world for the better and during his time, the dove on this board was the go-to symbol for peace and fighting for the common man. What was supposed to be a test for the new endmill in the beech wood of an old kitchen counter became his birthday present. I know it could have been sanded a bit more in places, but he does not cook too much anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

Stunner, I love the contrast.

Thatโ€™s why I bought differently coloured wood, duh. :roll_eyes::yum:

Color yes, but the pattern as well. A lot of the inlays we see are just solid.

True, but that does not work for the cutting boards since you definitely need the endgrain. Otherwise I might also have chosen the solid front. :smiley: (Though itโ€™s harder to mill the face grain.)
