doesn't look sharp. doubt you'll be able to cut anything with that board.

Great choice of pattern, the gradient effect looks fantastic.
started taking classes at the local guild. this is my first real piece that isn't just a dimensioned pine board or something.
pretty happy with it and excited to learn more
What's a local guild for woodworking?
it's basically a statewide organization of woodworkers and it hosts several community woodshops in our state with classes, open shop hours, events, etc.
That's sweet, what state is that?
No, that’s way too nice for a cutting board. Your skills upgraded it to a cheese/presentation board.
Looks great!!
Nice. How'd you cut the pieces of the two woods?
for someone who never had a cutting board before, you did an amazing job
did you look at pictures, or did someone lend you a model to work from
thanks! our teacher showed us a few pictures at the start of the class for different cutting board styles and we decided which one to do. i chose this since he said it was good for practicing with the table saw. he helped me with providing some initial measurements but i deviated from that plan since I didn't have enough wood and i really wanted a side grain cutting board rather than a face grain so i had to figure out some new measurements.
Interesting pattern, certainly eye catching. Are we seeing the bottom or are the handles symmetrical top/bottom?
What did you use to seal it? Mineral oil, linseed, tung?
