So I just picked up this 12"×6"×10’ maple beam at an auction today and had to chop off two feet of it to fit it in my car. I’m thinking of making a couple end-grain carving boards for friends with what was cut off.
I’m tentatively thinking of just slicing it into 2" cookies and gluing them together, but I’ve never seen a cutting board like this that wasn’t a collection of like 1" pieces glued together. Is there any reason not to use larger pieces when gluing up a cutting board? Thanks in advance
I bought my edge grain cutting board there. They have 2" versions as well as up to 6" versions (https://www.holz-liebling.de/produkt-kategorie/schneidebretter/hackblock/) You could look at their pictures to get some hints at what you could do.
