Planer Required

The kit I received did indeed require a planner! Yellow wood and pule heart strips were 1/32 undersize compared to walnut/maple. One of the Purple Heart strips had tear out which could not be removed. Strip probably should have not been in the kit. Great idea and might have just gotten a s*** kit.

Warped and not sized correctly

I bought (2) of these kits to give as Christmas Gifts this year. Unfortunately, the cherry was slightly bowed and the yellow heart was not 3/4" thick like the other pieces making assembly a challenge. I imagine that after final thicknessing, the board will be about 5/8 due to the yellowwood thickness issue. Sad that these were sold as ready to glue up.

great kit

Almost didn't buy this because I don't have a planner but wood was in great shape and only took a little sanding. Beautiful colors. I am buying more while on sale

Excellent & Colorful

Very nice cutting board. Durable and beautiful. I did find that to facilitate making these it is nice to have a drum sander and a router table. Once glued up, you should square the sides, and then run through sander. I also like putting a round edge using the router. Finish sand with 220 grit and then use mineral oil. Came out great.
