well, since the drunken cheese boards worked out so good, i decided to try one a bit bigger. they both are 12 x 16 inches, and are walnut and ash. one will be going to another of my nephews as a housewarming present.

well, i was wrong about the sizes. actually the finished boards are 10 1/2" x 17 1/2". with my dad's friend from across the street watching (he wanted to see how it is done), made the second cuts. then to show him the magic, did a quick dry fitting. he was quite amazed at how nicely they came out. then did the final glue up, and after a bit, a quick ride on the planer, then the jointer and table saw to trim up the edges. now they are ready to be sanded and oiled.

These are great, Dan. :thumb: Very fun look, and a lot of "how'd he do that?" factor. What are you cutting the curves with? Bandsaw? Scroll saw? Jigsaw?
