After selling out of end grain cutting boards with three wood species during the holidays I decided to try to use those short (6"-10") scraps to make some new ones. My new boards employ 7-9 wood species including oak, maple, walnut, bocote, padauk, purpleheart, mahogany, poplar and cherry. The addition of poplar ( not a hardwood, but people love it ) made the interest go way up. I make sure that it is surrounded by hardwood like walnut or maple to protect it. Boards measure 12" x 11" x 1.25". I use TiteBond III exclusively in my shop so the cutting boards get the waterproof benefit of this glue.
The edge grain boards are moving and one new end grain lasted minutes before heading to the register. The second photo is an edge grain multiwood cutting board.
