Lyptus cutting board

Messages

Vaughn got on to me for making a vase from a cutting board last week. So I used the lathe to make a cutting board this week! :thumb:

Most of you f--- work guys know that Lyptus is a managed hardwood tree that is super fast growing. I have used it several times for cutting boards, as the end-grain really stands out. It is super dense and heavy also.

11" across and 2" thick, turned on the lathe after glue up. Lyptus tends to splinter, so use super sharp tools and a fairly high speed. Thanks for looking. :)

That's a beautiful cutting board, Robert. :clap:

I was gonna ask why you didn't finish hollowing out that nice lyptus bowl, but I figured I'd already given you enough of a hard time in the last week. :rofl: Great work!
