Check this out: A Double Curve Cutting Board

I came across this technique in a magazine and I've used it on my lazy susan back in 2014 and on a mancala game in 2013. These are other good uses of the technique if you haven't seen them:

I really like your informative, no nonsense videos. Keep posting them please.

I like how you explain what, why, and how you do things. Too many videos are just a fast play video without any explanations.

- Nice design. I used a 1/4 inch spiral router bit to divide the pieces then did the wood inset. the end product was the same. Spiral bits cut very clean & smooth.

Great video. I have been making boards with a somewhat similar process. Like you I use a router and templates to cut curved patterns into the board but then I dam the ends of each groove with silicon and pour resin into the groove. After the resin sets, the ends of the board are removed on the table saw and the board top flatten in a thicknesser and finally sanded . 320 grit usually gives a good finish to the resin and finish with oil or wax. This is not a river board so I mainly use opaque pigments.

I thought you were going to say your shave in the middle of the video was also by Crafstman Abrasives. 😉 Great video. Thanks for sharing the info.

That technique gives such a cool effect! Thanks for sharing that, Brian.

Great video! Definitely didn't know how you made the walnut curves before watching. Great technique with the router/template + bandsaw + flush trim!

thank you for the very detailed and thorough video.

Very nice cutting board. I have seen this before and always thought the second wood was done by inlay. I'm confident I can make this.
But I think I'll use scraps first time around so I don't end up wasting exotics. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty and I do like the the design with the dark grain crossing over each one. Good job!

Great looking Board, and very neat trick to balance the Router.

[kuffyswoodwork]

Great tip about using a shape that locks into itself to make it less of a hassle during glue up. 👍
