Hi everyone. Please allow me to (formally) introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while and have really enjoyed the camaraderie and the wealth of great information here at SMC.
I've been working wood on a very part time basis for about 4 years or so. In the last several months, I'm just beginning to really find the time to spend in the shop, so I'm looking forward to many more projects. I'm also looking forward to learning lots more from you guys and hopefully contributing something along the way.
My most recent project was a cutting board for my cousin who has recently returned from Iraq. He's member of the Texas National Guard, 56th Bridage.
The board is made from hard maple, framed by walnut. His brigade logo, called the "T-Patch", is inlaid in the center in bloodwood and maple. His ambition, now that he's back in the States is to do some serious BBQ cook-off competitions. Given his interest, a cutting board seemed a fitting "Welcome Home/Thanks for your service" gift. Hopefully, he'll enjoy it, even though it probably won't ever see the business end of a carving knife.
Thanks for looking!
