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.
