This was a great build. I really like the simple but elegant design of the final board. It ought to be easy to crank out a bunch of these as Christmas gifts. But I do have one suggestion. I am not sure about this, but I think you would have wasted less wood by using Walnut strips of two different widths on your first glue up. Then, instead offsetting every other strip in your end grain glue up, you only need to flip every other end grain strip 180 degrees. Using this method, you would have achieved the same offsetting effect without having to trim off so much of the walnut when you cut the board to its final dimensions.
You had very good accuracy with the offsetting of the board. Great job as it turned out great. Two ideas for you. To prevent chip outs with your palm router, work it clockwise. I use an angle grinder with different grades of sandpaper and it goes much faster than my palm sander.
I would definitely try the palm router idea, specially with small bits I think it would be safe. My only problem with angle grinder is lack of control. I think there is a high chance of sanding one spot more that another.

Very nice 👌👏
Thanks a lot 😊
What kind of wood was used? The outside looks almost black.
Very nice! I am finishing some cabinets now, but next I want to try cutting boards. How many teeth are in your table blade? Thanks.
Thank you. The ripping blade is 24T and the cross cut blade I believe is either 48T or 60T
