New recipients were found for the boards I'd previously made. I added some feet in the package (with stainless screws) since I couldn't bring myself to drill holesin the bottoms.
I made a few smaller boards to satisfy the spouse and the folks she had in mind for the smaller boards. Very different style. Used bb ends to keep flat and used the mortiser to cut square peg holes. End holes are elongated for expansion/contraction. Was able to recycle some scrap and they came out fine.

...so I used those to make a few basically identical end-grain cutting boards...Picture shows the board underneath some baguettes I baked last night for a daughter's team party.
Beautiful image and baguettes - but I'm not seeing the "end-grain" in the picture. What am I missing?
