cutting board juice grooves...

My rendition.

Hi. I hope I'm not intruding here but I just completed a cutting board and thought it might me of interest in this thread.
The board has a trough with outline cut to scribe lines with a hand held trim router and 1/8" diameter downcut bits. The inside is hand carved Celtic knotwork.
I don't foresee it used as a juice trough, more of a crumb trough, used mostly for breads (I hope).
The material is mostly sugar maple with sycamore cheeks and is 1-3/8" x 10" x 16".
Anyway here's my rendition of a cutting board with trough.

Came out great Art! Cutting board did too!!! :rofl: Templates can feel as time consuming as the project sometimes but as you see from the final results well worth the time.

Welcome to the family Larry! Nice lookng cutting board as well!!
 
You're making me hungry. +1 on the template, guide bushing and a plunge router. The smaller the bit the sharper the corner.
