made my wife a cutting board with wood leftover from other projects.
notice the nick that I had on the router bit - you can see a mild stripe from the mark.
I swear you can't feel it and it didn't really show up to me until I applied the mineral oil finish.
I also made a "snipe preventer" by adding some cheap cedar on the sides with 3 drops of CA glue.
I shaded the ends of the contraption with pencil and you can see where in the 1st 1-1/2" of the wood
that I got the snipe. Didn't effect the project piece at all. I just cut and trim when done planing.
These were scraps from other projects otherwise the wood - would have been planed prior to construction.
Walnut, Brazilian Cherry and Maple

A bit of a warning:
If your cutting boards are dual sided, they probably have no 'feet'. If you leave the Mineral oil/beeswax treated boards on your tablecloth for very long, the oils can leach out a bit, staining the tablecloth. Should come out in the laundry, but just saying...
(You know how come I know this...)
