The very first end grain board I made was a creeper face with red oak and poplar wood. It was a proof of concept. I decided to do it again but with years of experience. Higher resolution and tighter tolerances.
My original bord.
Are the boards in either photo waxed/oiled yet?
Both are oiled.
I like that it’s pretty subtle. I feel like a lot of people would have immediately went for the green and black color scheme and made something tacky, while this is something that wouldn’t look out of place in most home kitchens.
I originally went with these colors because they are the only hardwoods available within an hour and are relatively cheap. I didn’t want to burn money on what was probably going to be a failed attempt. For the remake I wanted to use the exact same materials to accurately show the skill difference over the years. I’m very tempted to make another one with even more pixels but much higher quality wood and more color contrast. But there aren’t any hardwoods that retain a dark or bright green color so I’d still have to change that up.
Nice! You should crosspost to [email protected]
I tried. It gave me the 403 error I get from a lot of groups.
Nice work! Are you going to use it though?
Already in use.
This is brilliant.
