Chuck Minchew's end-grain cutting boards start something like this....

and, after much finagling, get glued-up, sanded...

and finished with a beautiful, food-safe finish.
Chuck first cuts wood in a variety of dimensions that he has decided are optimal for these cutting board designs. For each cutting board, he culls his blocks for ones that will compliment each other, and figures out the best design for those blocks. He often uses 2 blocks side-by-side in a 'butterflied' match to make a striking pattern. The woods include oak, maple, cherry, walnut, ash, elm...and maybe some others. Most of the woods are local.
