Over Christmas I was visiting my folks and took the opportunity to use my dad's more extensive tool collection to make an end grain cutting board and a wa handle. This is my first attempt at making either a cutting board or a handle and I am relatively happy with the results. The cutting board would have benefited from access to a thicknesser, which would have prevented some of the small glue filled gaps that are visible, but other than that it turned out well. The wa handle turned out really well too, now I just need to find a knife for it.
The cutting board is made from walnut and the handle is made from almond (butt), brass (spacer) and jarrah (ferrule).
