Personalized Laser Engraved Wooden Cutting Board with Decorative Corners

Plane hardwood of your choice.  Glue and clamp the pieces together in a staggered layout so no two ends are at the same point.

After the glue dries, cut the board to size and route the edges.

Sand the board until it's smooth.  I prefer to go up to a 330 grit sand paper.

Engrave the design deeply into the wood.  Do multiple passes to get to at least an 1/8" depth.  Don't worry too much about overburn as you'll be sanding the top.

Fill the engraving with a 2 part epoxy and let it cure.

Sand the top until the epoxy is flush with the wood.  A belt sander makes this much easier.

Apply a food safe protectant.  I used walrus oil.
