Hey there...thanks so much! I appreciate your feedback. I wanted a little contrast in the red gum grain which is why I went with the walnut. Might try something else next time.

Thanks so much, Larry!

Hey John! Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I could have gone with more of a matching wood for the splines, but I wanted the contrast. I might try something closer in color next time to see how that looks. There are some other ways to have a spline that is pretty much hidden, but I've never done it. If you want, go check out my instagram @Brudaddy. I posted a finished pic with the gift contents inside. I ended up just planing some shavings of walnut and white oak, and then put a rock paper weight in laying on the shavings. However, the box was really the gift. The recipient loves boxes. Thanks again!

Going though the back catalog, I see. ;) This is still one of my favorite videos that you've ever done.

Glad it helped, Tom! Thanks for checking out the project!

Hi there! Thanks for following along with the project. I don't actually have a template for this. I'm sure you can find something pretty easily if you look around. In my video, I mention the site I used to split it into tiles so I could print it more easily.

Right on! Thanks for the nice words. Yeah, I adapted my jig from one that Make Something did (on YouTube). Super simple. Tag me on Instagram when you make one...I want to see!

Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking time to check it out and comment.

Thank you, Alex! Appreciate you checking out the project. If you haven't already, give the video a watch. I have some cool slo mo shots in there. ;)

Thanks so much! I love the contrast in the walnut and maple. Even the more subtle contrast of the white oak and maple is nice.

Yes! I should have used that! ha ha

Thank you very much!

Sorry for the delay, Lars. For some reason, I didn't see this question. I picked this plywood up at Home Depot. I had to look through a few of them first, but found one that was pretty straight and flat. This is just the radiata pine that they sell. Glad to know I'm . not the only one that uses Sharpie like that. ha

Thanks so much!

Cool! I'd love to see it. Tag me on Instagram @Brudaddy when you do it.

Cool project...they look creepy...yet cute. ha

I'll see if I can get a good shot of the back. If you see in the video where I add the inset handle or at the very end of the video, I show me closing the door from the back side...that might give you a better look. Thanks for checking out the project!

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the comment and for checking out the project! I'm not sure why this would cause warping? It should be fine. The substrate the strips are nailed to is 3/4" plywood, which is quite stable. Plus, the strips were 3/4" thick.

Thank you very much! This instructable took me a pretty long time to write. ha

Hey Steve! Thanks so much!

Appreciate that, KJ! It really makes your home something to live in when you have functional art pieces. I find it very enjoyable.

You bet! Glad you found it helpful...thanks for checking out the project! If you haven't already, go watch the video...it might even show some detail that I didn't show in the instructable.

Wow! Nicely done on this one!

These are such cool little pieces. Great job, Doug!

Ah, very cool! I didn't realize I was one of your inspirations. I'm honored. I like how you drew from things you knew "Martin backpacker guitar" and sprinkled some things in there that you didn't previously know (copper pipe).

Possibly so.

You did a great job! It's a nice looking piece.

Really cool project! I don't know if I'm familiar with this type of scaffold board. I like how it turned out though!

This thing is awesome, Robin! And I loved the video!

This is just gorgeous, Ashley! Love it!

Right on! Do it! What wood will you choose? If you use walnut, people will say you're going to poison people. ;)

Appreciate you looking out for me!

Hey Chris! Thanks for checking out the project! My website is www.bruceaulrich.com. Drop me a message there and we can chat about what needs you have for a custom board if you would like.

I realized I didn't tell you the cost of the large cutting boards. Most of the cutting boards I sell are solid maple cutting boards. I sell those for $100 plus shipping.

Yeah, good points. I have used some red oak for cutting boards, but I keep those. Plus, we usually just cut fruit on them.

Really interesting project, Mike! I think it would be fun to freak people out when they first see it, like you mentioned. ha

Such a cool project! I remember seeing the video months ago, but great job spelling it out here in written form.

Hey Brandon...not sure why I didn't see this notification. Sorry about that. Yeah, I got a Glowforge back in early March. I ordered it about 500 days before that. ha ha. I'm really liking what it can do. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks so much! I thought I responded to this. Sorry for the delay. I love cootie..played it when I was a kid too. Thanks for the kind words!

Hey...thought I responded to this. Sorry. Yeah, the saw was actually not plugged in at the time I was touching it.
