Cutting Board Box

This cutting board was a requested item!

 I glued strips of cherry and maple into a 12 by 12 inch square that ended up being 5/8 inches thick after using my new planer on it to smooth the top and bottom. Sides grooves make it easier to pick up. I used one coat of salad bowl finish from Wood Craft as a finish.

Close up of side grooves that I cut with a hand held router. 

More side groove detail.

Rounded over edges give a clean look.

This is the temporary jig I used to form the groove with a hand held router. 
The blue tool box underneath is not part of the jig.
