I have been waning to try this for a long time. I had some free time and some scrap so I went for it. it is a lot of time as you end up making 4 cutting boards two flat grain then cut it up and glue it up to make them end grain. the inlay with a thinner board about 1" a cutting board from Ikea that I cut up and regulated. I wanted more contrast but I did not have any more scraps. I used a 7 degree tapered endmill to make the inlay parts and they are 3/4" thick. I used the machine to flatten the boards then remove the excess inlay. but man I have a friend who makes a living making cutting boards and he is wise and pays the big guys to sand all the faces with a wide belt sander/planer. way too much effort to sand it if I wanted to make any money.
