On the other hand, it's a bit unsettling to look at. Beyond 3D, this almost looks 4D as if you could chop onions too close to the center and they would collapse into the board's event horizon and be forever irretrievable. It's certainly interesting, and the creator's tagline "Help me, I can't stop" is a great summation of the cutting board craze. I'm undecided on this "bulge effect" look, here pictured by caocian. He's using veneers, plus puttying and coloring the voids in black. This one by Jim Sellers is compelling, but the round shape is a hard sell for me. Here's a selection of some of the nicer boards from Lumberjocks, each one credited to its builder. Some of these are veneered or otherwise are more suitable as serving boards than end grain working chopping blocks. Here we'll look at only what's referred to as "3D" cutting boards, which is to say that the design of the board, specifically the wood species selection and alternate color placement, is planned such that the board exhibits a striking multidimensional, illusory, or raised-surface visual effect. Specifically, the folks at are contributing hugely to the work. More importantly, they can be meticulously designed and built, and then shown off on the internet, and that's enough to create a DIY craze. They can be created for fun and sold for what amounts to $10 or $20 an hour of labor. The labor involved in creating these boards means that they can't really be produced economically at scale. But should you need a third-party program, we recommend 7-Zip, a free app available from.
This download will contain multiple files in a zipped format, Current Windows and Apple operating systems can easily unzip this file. PLUS you get the plans for both the Assembly Table and the Miter Sled that Nick uses to make the cutting board in our YouTube video. There are other effects too, and it’s hard to decide which one to focus on…if you can focus at all! 8 pages in PDF format, including step-by-step directions and drawings in both English and metric measurements. Nick fashioned this unique design from strips of contrasting wood carefully arranged to create the optical illusion of peering into a long tunnel…sorta.
The only this we knew for sure was this definitely wasn't another "Chevron" cutting board. And the "Look At This Long Enough and Your Eyes Will Cross" cutting board was out. The "Hypnotic" cutting board didn't sound right, neither did the "Mesmerizing" cutting board. We couldn't think of a descriptive name for this project.
