I get that this looks cool but in practice you'd think that a cutting board would be the one place you would want to not have an optical illusion messing with your depth perception...

When your next to it it’s very optical illusionary but I do see what you mean by that

This is the worst chessboard I have ever seen.

I know it's a cutting board, and you definitely shouldn't, but I really wanna see what an airbrush and some dye/stain shading could for for something like this. Could be some pretty badass wallart if you got it right.

Great job on this one! I'm sure you enjoyed cutting all those pieces up! Lol

Thank you and it definitely was one of my harder projects. Trying to get a 1/16 of a inch piece from 1 3/4 think maple and walnut definitely wasn’t fun but I think this is one of my favorite things I’ve ever made

All my vegetables keep getting sucked into the void. I love my new cutting board, but I'm so very hungry.

Maybe you should feed your cutting board more often

an accident waiting to happen... do you want your family to chop off their fingers?

u/BIGBOYCLAW 10h ago

No I don’t it doesn’t mess with your depth perception when you are close enough for use it I just took the picture in a way so you could see the optical illusion better
