You can make them any size you’d like but there are a few things to keep in mind. The “basket weave” cutting board design is really fun and also a bit challenging which is nice for woodworkers looking to step up their game a bit compared to some of the basic end grain boards.Ībove is the design that I used for my cutting board. If you go online you can find hundreds if not thousands of similar designs for “3D” cutting boards. This certainly isn’t a unique concept or design on my part. You could make this with an end grain design to make it more durable but the 3D illusion would be drastically reduced with the lack of a consistent grain running along the length of the board. In this particular case I’ve made this with face grain to help with the 3D illusion. In this article I want to share my design with you along with some tips for making this type of cutting board.
As far as cutting boards go the “basket weave” design is one of the more challenging ones requiring lots of patience and skill. Once you see them you too will want to jump on the bandwagon and make your own. If you’ve never seen some of these you’re really missing out. So have fun reading my instructable, try to make your own cutting board and stay safe.3D Basket Weave Cutting Board – Maple, Walnut & PurpleheartģD cutting boards are quite the rage in the woodworking arena these days. For the C parts I used white oak but the best would be maple. A dark wood (I used Iroko) for the (A, F and E) pieces, A lighter (beech) for (B, D, G) and an even lighter wood for C.
You will need three different species of wood. It is the first one I have ever made and the next one will be even better and of course bigger! So I have decided to make a cutting board with a pattern on it ,it was just an experiment really, I just wanted to see if I could make it and the truth is I am really happy with the way it turned out. We all have a cutting board at home, some people prefer the plastic ones others the wooden ones and some people like me prefer the wooden ones but with a 3d pattern on them not because the work better than all the others but because they also look cool!
