I mentioned recently that I will offer a limited number of boards and magnetic strips, and later will add wall/countertop blocks as well.
Please fill out a Board Survey Form, so I can get a better idea what people are looking for, or what their preferences are.

I would like to ask you to also fill a Magnetic Strip Survey, for me to get an idea what the preferred lengh would be.

Boards, blocks and strips will be side projects and I will make them in limited numbers. I won't be taking custom orders for these.
Boards
Most boards will be 2" thick and will have a low-profile (about 3/16" over the counter top). Another design feature is fingers cutout that allows to move the board around easily. See picture below.
I like to use full rows so the width will wary a little bit depending on the thickness of the lumber after it is squared. I will try to get as close as possible to typical widths ( 12, 15, 16, 18").
Magnetic Strips
These will be made of some highly figured grain woods I come accross once in a while. Most woods will be domestic, but I will also use (sparingly) tropical hard woods like macassar ebony. Here are a couple of examples of woods that I would use.
A typical thickness of a magnetic strip would be 5/8" and a typical width will be 2". Length will vary.
Thank you,
M
