Christmas Gift for Grandma

in woodworking •  7 years ago 

I have posted pics of some examples from my stash of figured walnut before, and some have asked what I plan to use it for, so here is a project for a christmas gift that is pretty quick and simple, but classy.

This can be used as a serving tray or cheese board.

I started with one long board, cut in half, flipped and jointed with biscuits.

Then glued and clamped.

And trimmed and planed.

The breadboard ends are curly maple,

That join is so beautiful. Great job with the symmetry, that is what makes the difference when it comes down to pieces like this!

Thank you! I put a lot of effort into lining up the grain just right.

Great combination in woods. It came out beautiful

Cant go wrong with walnut and maple, thanks:)
