Where The River Runs Through It
Went by my local fancy hardwood store and found some awesome wood planks in the scrap bin. I'm gonna build some cutting boards to enhance some aesthetics of my pictures.

And because I'm a man and like to build things.

Here's the first build in the early design stages.

I'll throw some pictures up here as I get some done. I've got enough for 3 cutting boards and one small serving platter (for cheeses, breads, etc.).
 
That's going to be real nice. Great fined. Got some cherry burl to do that with just need to take the time. What are u going to coat it with?
 
olive oil is what I have seen the old timers put on cutting boards
 
Are you going to make end grain boards!
They are really cool!
I have always used mineral oil on my boards, & it works just fine.

Those should look good, I have never seen Poplar used in a cutting board before, as it is such a soft wood, I will be interested in seeing how they hold up.
 
Here’s mine it’s live edge . Apple that I cut out by hand and planned down from a apple tree that’s now smoking wood

I did research about using Poplar on cutting boards, and after reading all about it, I found that it's a lot like a brisket.

If I have a choice brisket, sure I could get a better cut in prime, but my choice brisket will still twang my buds.

So sure, there are better woods than Poplar, but the Poplar will still get the job done.

Plus, I picked up all of that wood for $5 total. Winner winner brisket dinner.
