After some trouble repair (see thread "Wedged Tenon Advice") the set of 6 small cutting boards is finished and is in UPS to my friend in Cincinnati.

It stands just 13 inches tall so the boards are small. The boards and stand are hard maple and the dowel is white oak (I have yet to learn how to make my own dowels).

The mortise was made with a Forstner bit in my drill press and the large handhold was started on the drill press with a 1" bit.

The SS was used to thickness and shape every thing. All of the bull noses and the finishing of the handhold were done in the under-the-table routing mode to hand made templates from SketchUp.

Looks fantastic! Hope they do not 'cup'.

I could not find qtr sawn hard maple locally but it is available (supposedly) on the internet.

She was in a hurry so I bought local. I have told her that if(!) they start to cup I am keeping the template for the bull nose on the boards and will re-do them.

They are one piece to avoid seam splitting after many washes like her current set did. They are 5 ¼ wide so this was my first test of my wide-board flattening system. I will do the same with q-sawn.

Might as well order the q-sawn?

Looks Good!

Good job.
