Hard white maple with purpleheart racing stripes so they go faster. Vrooom…

Two Breadboards
Two new breadboards, hard maple with purpleheart racing stripes. Aproximate dimensions: (l) 8″ x 12″ x 1″ and (r) 9″ x 12″ x 3/4″. They both have a recess routed into each end from the underside, so it’s easier to get your fingers underneath to lift them and set them down. I see the left one as more of a cheese tray, perhaps.
Six Breadboards
Six breadboards, awaiting final finishing. They’ve had one coat of mineral oil, will get another today after some fine sanding, then we’re done!! Three are already spoken for…
Maple Breadboard with “Racing Stripes”
This is another mostly hard maple edge-grain cutting board, but without the handle and spline of the other design. Instead there are a couple of “racing stripes” made of purpleheart, and a shallow juice groove. Size is about 12×19. My brother-in-law is buying this one, so I thought I’d better get a picture while I still have it.
Batching the Breadboards
Batches? We don’t need no stinkin’ batches!
But seriously ladies and germs… batching is definitely the way to go, once you know what you’re doing it’s not much longer to build three instead of one.
Maple and Walnut Breadboard
The walnut trim is darker than the cherry, more dramatic contrast against the maple. Which I think is good, but I like the cherry too… Also now featuring dowel pins, as originally called for.

The human is my lovely wife Lynda. She’s a very good sport. I told her in advance I was going take a picture with this title, and she slapped me (didn’t hurt). But she still posed. What a gal.
Kidney-shaped Cutting Board
Just waiting for the first coat of mineral oil to dry on this cutting board.The design is from one of our old cutting boards that I rescued from the trash so I could copy it.
