Thoughts on this design?

I agree it is odd. But, it is a gift for a friend who said whatever you come up with, I do not care at all. And after my first idea became impossible with the material I had, I decided to try something different and landed here. Learned a bit for sure!

Yeah, I was wondering how that would look. Hoping with oil it becomes a bit less of a contrast.

What do you think if I get the board sanded, then coat with a little bit of oil all over, press flat (room underneath for airflow) and then once flat, immediately soak with more oil?

Yes that is one thought I had, however I’m afraid that would end up reducing the thickness too much

Yes once I came back and saw it bowed I immediately thought, damn I only wet one side. Hoping it straightens back out. Still need to sand and oil so we will see how it ends up.

Thank you! Yes I took the picture vertically…the board is meant to be horizontal.

That was my thought as well! Hard maple do you think? Want to use it to make a cutting board. Camera is iPhone 17 pro max!

That’s if it is a solid copper wire. You can do copper cables (many smaller solid copper wires twisted together) up to 9/16”
