In this video, I show how I made a plaid cutting board. It's about 20" x 15" x 1.5" and it's made from walnut, ash, cherry, and padauk with end grain walnut and ash strips in between these pieces. There are a lot of glue-ups and it's important to keep everything aligned during each glue-up, but it's pretty straightforward otherwise.

    Very nice, and I'm glad you demonstrated the utility of using the metric system. I, too, have made the switch and am glad I did.
