Protect those fingers, I want to see the finished product, high skills, a lot of work, can't wait. This is going to be a great auction.

When will the auction begin. I am counting my change.

Very nice work !

Aaron will probably create a new name for your wood this time around.

Btw my father and I have done the same project. We bought the logs and had them cut and then rik'd them to dry. Walnut, cherry, fiddle back maple and oak. I don't recall the board feet but I think that total it was 8000 pounds before they were dried. We still have 20 inch wide by 1 inch thick and 18 feet long walnut boards in the basement in that $h1+ hole that is in the Midwest.

$h1+hole, you store them in an outhouse???? What is fiddle back maple? I have seen all the rest. Love walnut and cherry.

Should be tomorrow or Friday latest.

Had a maybe 800 pounds of it at one time. Very nice wood. Our lumber mill in MI always picked the frek'n coldest gawd damn day to call us and tell us they will be cutting our logs that day. We would spend all day hauling them back to the house and feeding the wood thru the 1x2' basement window marking and rik'ing them. Good grief. I hate that place.

Wood has so much character.  Northern cherry is of higher quality but because southern cherry (which is the exact same tree)  grows so fast it tends to have more character.  Here is another board I made.  I consider it a ink blot test:)  Everyone sees something different.  There are two arrows,  the lower one shows the location and the upper arrow is that same thing blown up.  Look at the portion I blew up and what do you see?

 
 

Dogs face

Looks like an alien or a turtle standing on it's back legs.

A basset hound.

I see a big set of lips.

Lol! Me too.

Claddagh. Look at the top ( crown), middle is the heart, and hands are holding it in place...I could be way off, though.

[QUOTE=Dave]Gorgi Thats how all the old butcher blocks were constructed the end grain is much tougher 

Could you image how many T-bones were cut on this baby?

Hi! Dave,

Is this your butcher block? This butcher block has a tremendous negative energies. I saw dark beings licking on it and wondering around this table. This butcher block is very haunted. It gave me a slightly headache when I looked at it and I felt an extremely negative and malevolent energies coming from it. I hope this one is not your.

Best,
Tam 

Looks fantastic Wills!

Dogs face with a crown.

An image of Elvis on a grilled cheese sandwich? =)

Love all the opinions.  To me it looks like a cat wearing a triangle shaped pirates hat.   

Wills, what glue do you use for your cutting boards?

Looks like several bills to me.

Harvey,

In the enlarged one I see a teddy bear with a mask across the eyes.

Just need a few barrels and we can play Donkey Kong!

Lovely cutting board Will! I'm sure it will go to a good home. Kudos to your donation.

When I was a little kid; the walls of the room I slept in, had an uneven finish.
I used to see/imagine a lot of scarey 'things' on those walls.

Tam

Nope thats not my chopping block just a picture I found for demonstration purposes , just to be on the safe side I think I will sleep with garlic around my neck tonight thanks for the heads up.

Dave

Good answer Dave, I have to laugh every time, cracks me up.......not literally......oh no.

OK, somebody say something ...   (((  hello? ))) ... crap, come back y'all...

Wow. When I started reading this thread about a cutting board, I never expected to end up here. Cheers all around. It's been a wild ride.

Aaron: True happiness is in each of us if we do not attach to anything. 

Best,
Tam

REALLY THEY ARE WEIRDOS ON THE FORUM THESE DAYS, BECAUSE YOU LOVE FIGS, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU NORMAL....
today she started with Mideastern brothers...tomorrow we do not know what...
and forum members say there is no hidden messages in people writings...
I am just gonna be little polite....

Aaron I feel you Man...
Mark

The message I posted on #83 was related to the post #69, butcher block posted by Dave. This does not relate to the cutting board that Wills is making now. 

Best,
Tam

And strange gets stranger, I thought this thread was about helping out the foundation???

Tam,

What can you tell me about the cat face board?  

Oh please Wills, don't ask, you will never get any bidders if it has bad vibes!!!

Lol.....that board is not for auction.  It was given away a couple years ago.   I am just curious what Tam can tell me about it:)   For the record I think it is complete nonsense but Tam does write in an entertaining style and curious what the reading will be.

She is very entertaining.

Re. post #79, Kelby are you sure what you are seeing in the board isn't the mascot for the U. Md. Terps???

I just googled websites of dream analysis, and the fig forum is not one of the website offered.
let her take her BS out of this Forum...she have fig story, a picture then it belong here....

By the way colorful my A$$
Mark

Very nice WillsC, true craftsmanship is rare these days.


Doug

Wow, that is some wild stuff.

On another note, do I see Gizmo on that board? Wait, and the Mogwai too!

I see a warrior turtle being crowned.

Sorry, I'm a PennStater, all I see is Lions, hahah.

I see a little different UFO  "Tam"

Very pretty cutting boards.

I see a row of three diamond tiaras in the lower right - that surely must mean something, lol.
