Cypress cutting board

I had a drop (un-needed end of a cut) of 2" cypress from another project that I turned into a cutting/serving board. Put some legs on it that I cut out of some dark hardwood, sanded and applied mineral oil. It sucked it up...this is well seasoned wood.
Glued together with Festool dominos.

That's a beautiful chunk of wood. I've never worked with cypress. Will it stand up as a cutting board?Phoenix

That board is sexy. Good work!
-
@blasting not ideal it's soft. But the board is very thick and knife marks add character. Very easy on a sharp edge. This is mostly for serving. It's huge so nice for Brisket or other large roasts.

Made a desk and two benches for my neighbors. The drop is from this project.

Nice cutting board! Did you turn the feet? Also are the feet glued on?
Though you can't see the feet when the board is right side up, I really like the step you put on them. Details like that really give it the awesome factor (along with the great looking cypress)!MM & XL BGE, Bay Area CA -
That is really nice. Great job.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

@jollygreenegg I used a hole saw in my drill press without the pilot bit. Then a little sanding and glue n screwed them on.______________________________________________I love lamp..

That would be way easier than trying to turn 4 identical pieces... there's always different paths to get to the same place! Nice job!nolaegghead said:@jollygreenegg I used a hole saw in my drill press without the pilot bit. Then a little sanding and glue n screwed them on.MM & XL BGE, Bay Area CA -
