An artisan I found in the North Georgia mountains Does them to help a Marine vet support himself. The woods he named are some I know (walnut, teak, maple) and some I don't know (tiger, red, black, etc.) I first saw this guy a couple of years ago and liked his work but did not buy one at the time and regretted it since. Finally ran him down this weekend and bought the best looking one he had. He encourages the use it as a working board (his theory is use one side for work and one side for display) Plan to do that. If it gets some scratches can always have it sanded downed and resealed. the thing is over an inch thick so should last me a lifetime!Also discussed a large purchase from him if I can drum up some interest and also plan to use some for Christmas gifts. His products are really neat and he doesn't own a computer so no internet sales.In the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

A special story behind the wood, really cool.
I stumbled upon a chainsaw artisan, Thor, in Hiawassee during a brief cross country sabbatical in 2012. A transplant from WA. The nicest dude, insisted on giving me firewood and kindling for camp.
Your board is a beautiful heirloom.

@bo31210 said:Know we had some discussions on these in the past but here is what I picked up today for the kitchen. All hand made and the colots are deep and rich. Good discussion with the artist and learned a lot about how and why he does these. Very interesting fellow.

My favorite cutting board is a piece of 1X12 red oak that I used a router to cut channels in over 20 years ago. It has been through the dishwasher thousands of times and is still going strong.

If I ever get my table saw refurbishing project and a couple other nagging things done, I've got an idea for an artsy type cutting board. I hope the rain holds off today because I'm looking to media blast the cast iron pieces of that table saw.Flint, Michigan

I have looked at and done a little reading on edge versus end grain this is an edge grain the next question is what would one pay for something like this? it is 16 x 13 and an inch thick ThanksIn the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

What's it made out of?
I only paid $140 for my Cherry end-grain Boo's 20x15x2.5"..I'd guess maybe $50 to $60, depending on what wood is used. -

It would depend on the amount of exotics, and labor involved. Edge grain boards are less labor intensive than end grain.
I know for my cocobolo Meucci, and any billiards cue inlaid with exotics, prices reflect that and are not cheap. Even the mass production exotic cues.
Same goes for custom 1911 wood grips. Anything exotic, things can get pricey.
Maple and cherry are the most common woods used for cutting boards, other than bamboo. A mass produced common hardwood end grain would not be an accurate comparison to an exotic custom made edge grain.

beautiful board man.
A buddy of mine had a cutting board biz, he sold at BBQ competitions for years. Made all the trophies too.

I scored this from a friend. It was scarred up and had burn marks on it before I sanded and re oiled it.
