First board to go up for sale

Blogger might like to make arranging photos a bit easier on day. Early bird prices for my first boards but good to finally start to sell them and I'm sure their new owners will be very happy.

The wood is Blackwood, a piece I picked up at the Wood Show in Sydney a few months ago.

Tassie oak end grain cutting board

Finished this board yesterday. There were many problems, apparently Tassie oak can be a difficult wood, it takes on water easily and is not  stable. Very surprising to see such a light timber turn bright red when oiled. Again finished with tung oil. Glue job was not as I had hoped. 

Rows were cut in the rain, finished board is only 35 mm and could twist. I have two other boards in the kitchen so it's not going to get heavy use.
