Nice.
That wild maple grain really adds interest to the boards.
Nice balanced design.

Looks great. I’ve done several box lids with the chevron on top. I learned it when David (Patron) and Larry (degoose) were in a race to see who could make the next generation. That was really fun stuff

Thanks for the nice comments.

It’s nice to see the best bunch here.

Those are nice, eye-catching designs for your boards, Ian. Well done!

Do you find that the C clamps at each joint helps a lot in keeping the boards flat? I use cauls but there always seems to be a decent amount of flattening left to do…

Nice boards, really like the designs!

Thanks BarbS.

Danofpaco: Thanks.They help quite a bit. Lately I am discovering that, gluing few pieces at the time with less clamp pressure is much better. Much less flatteing.

Great looking boards lanwater, I like the different contrasting woods.

That ripping sled looks interesting, I have a crosscut sled but it has not occurred to me to make one like this. How often do you use it?

I use the long sled from time to time. Not nearly as much as my cross cut sleds.
This said it saves me a lot of headache on many occasions. It’s great for tapers, angled cuts, strait edge…

It’s very easy to make.

Way cool board Abbas
