SWMBO has a request for a new cutting board. With a somewhat detailed drawing inlayed into the top. Think palm trees, water, other vegetation, sun, etc... She's an artist, so I'm sure the drawing will be fantastic. The cutting board -- well, I'm no artist, but will give it my best attempt.
This is a cutting board that will be used. Likely face grain, not end grain, though.
How thick would I have to make the inlays to survive frequent use? The board itself will likely be 1"-1-1/4" thick range. Woods TBD. Would wood movement make thick inlays crack?
