I have just finished this Chain Mail pattern cutting board. It's not perfect however it still looks good.
You have to be extremely accurate with every step to get the pattern to work.

Wow! That looks like a tricky build.
Well, sir, you are still capable of high-quality woodworking. It may not be a scale model, but it is of a great quality, even though it is not perfect in your eyes.

Incredible!
I admire the precision needed, it figures a model maker has the skill and persistence to pull that off so well! 
Nice work, looks great. How many separate glue ups did it take to get there?
WOW!!!! What woods did you use? Walnut and Maple? We know you put many hours of work into such a handsome cutting board.

The plans are American all in imperial measurement so the board is 16"X 12". The plans are available through Etsy.com and are produced by feldthousfamilywoodworks@gmil.com 
The plans are around $50.00 NZ and for that you get a set of instructions to download (30 pages) and a video showing how it is done. Just be aware that more than 51% of the timber you need to start with ends up as waste.

Awesome board.

Yes cutting boards use up a LOT of material. 

That is really cool tho.

Damn PJ... have you come out of sabatical and joined the Craftisian brigade of minimalists?  How about a few build pictures, or is your camera out of film?

May never make one, as Pottzy insists I'm a tigth arse, and wont part with the $50 shekels (though NZ$ is  pretty  petty cash), however, I want to know what I'm missing out of because of my puckered chocolate starfish.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Very nice build sir
