They look great. KOA is a great wood...Here is what mine looked like finished. Patriot - Solarez finish; Bolt Action - CA finish (8 coats); Executive - CA finish ( just 2 coats thin - no sanding).
The only thing I regret is not picking a cutting board with grain on both sides. All banks were cross cut.
I also just noticed that I didn't press the top of the BA in all the way LOL.
