Personal Reflection:
Ultimately, I think the cutting board turned out beautiful. I hope that my cousin and his wife enjoy their new cutting board. The other half of the original cutting board will be used to make a cutting board for one of my mom's cousins' birthday presents.
I decided to make a cutting board for my cousin's wedding. Going into the process, I wanted to make a big cutting board, however, after the gluing process, my cutting board had warped, so I decided to cut it halfway making the new dimensions 16 x 11. I also decided to include their last name and the year they got married on one side and a square juice groove on the other. The board was also crafted using walnut, cherry and maple wood material. Upon completion, I also added a layer of mineral oil.
