After I blew the side out of the last one of these (see Oops thread) I dug around in the cutoff boxes and found 9 pieces left from previous cutting board projects that looked like they might fit together. I added 2 strips of maple to make it a bit bigger. The hole was initially hogged out with a Forstner bit and finished with a bowl bit. I found a small slab of maple and walnut that looked like it might make a top. The pattern on the top is from a Rose Cutter bit, also a topic of a previous thread. The small circles in the corners hide a set of button magnets that retain the lid. After sanding to 220 a coat of sanding sealer and Brit wax finished the project.
I thought about rounding the corners and edges but SWMBO preferred the square look.
