Walnut end grain cutting board

[mmayo]

This one is huge (for me), by popular demand 20"x15"x1-5/8". I like the grain pattern.

Today I was very dedicated do I could quit the shop work early. It is cold, windy and the rain is starting. Snow later…

Time for a fireplace, my Kindle and perhaps Amazon Prime or Netflix.

Did I ever say how much I hate it when a perfectly good photo gets turned sideways by this website…

I don't know, that looks like a piece of curly maple you're about to burn in that fireplace. It could make a couple pens....

The fireplace after shop time sounds great to me. I have a hard time making myself get in the office when the olympics are on!

I have very expensive kindling due to cutting board production. I've given boxes away to local woodworkers, but I'm about to burn some 8/4 scraps of walnut. If you are close to me - they are yours. No curly maple this time.

Thanks Mark,

I'm going to have to pass, I'm in Chicago. I share your feelings on expensive kindling, all of my misc shorts help start fires here too. In my case it's usually some combination of maple, cherry or walnut because that's what I make cutting boards out of usually. I have a spot in my shop where kindling sits waiting for me to grab it before I start a fire.

I've been very fortunate to have made quite a few 8/4 purchases from a local sawyer who viewed 2'x2' kiln dried chunks (various wood, mostly walnut) he had left over from making board room tables as cutoffs. He would sell them to me very inexpensively and I still have a fair amount left.

That would be fun, I make it to the LA area on occasion. If I do I'll send you a note.
