trying my hand at my first cutting board, and decided to go end-grain, using 1"x1.25" walnut and mesquite. in another thread i understand there can be issues with "bread boards" i.e. where the long grain would be attached to the end grain. i have also read old archived posts where it is not recommended to frame an entre end grain board yet i see photos online of several. so my question is what about just "rails" on the 2 long sides of the board, and nothing on the ends, that way there are no miters? that way it is face-grain to face-grain, but 90 deg off grain direction
i am trying to get a bit larger board out of this - the obvious answer is to just get more wood but this is made out of mesquite and walnut harvested from the same property and the volume is limited.
