   Won't be having enough time to make this cutting board into an end grain so I'm adding breadboards to the ends both for the aesthetic and to help keep it flat over time. I may leave the breadboards proud on the bottom and put the rubber feet on them instead of the laminated boards. I am going to draw bore the center of each breadboard to keep them stiff using the cherry as dowels.

     Note: when laminating boards pay attention to grain direction if you give a shit about tear out. I have one or 2 of my boards oriented in a way that made planing difficult. I'm going to go back in with a card scraper tomorrow and try and clean it up a bit more.

     @thatguyoverthere I love real hard woods but I fear I'm so spoiled by plywood that I'd have such a hard time if I started trying to do this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing your work and frustrations🥂

     @BowsacNoodle Almost all of my mistakes are made around glue ups, even when I dry fit everything 5 times beforehand lol.
     
     I tried keeping all the grain going the same way but maple is kind of hard to see by eye and I didn't do the smart thing and label the direction after the first pass.
