The board has first been planed flat on both sides, then cut to length and with. The feet were made from the cut-offs and simply glued to the main body.
As it is a Japanese board, I had to use an original Kanna! However, I switched to No. 4 as I am more used to it. I could not see and feel a considerable difference in the final surface.Attachments:

the board is finished in the meantime. I attach all pictures I have on hand.
Let me give you some more details:
As I said, the board should cover the steel surface of a Teppan Yaki grill. It will be used as a cutting board like the Japanese chefs do.
Hinoki is a very soft wood and has extra anti-bacterial characteristics. We have decided not to treat the wood in any way.
Working the wood is a fantastic experience – not only because it can be worked easily, but especially due to the smell of the wood. After a few plane strokes, the workshop is flooded in this cypress flavour!As you can see from the pictures, the board has nothing fancy – it is special on its own and pure, it matches perfectly to the kitchen.
Why no wax or oil? Because Japanese chefs don’t. The surface will get rough by the time but a plane will take care of it.It took me a like 15 hours for arranging the CAD plans. The actual wood work was completed in 4 hours.
It has now been actively used for 4 months and the board has neither bended nor lost a bit of its beautifulness.
Costs for the rough board including shipment: 250 EURLooks like I can only attach 4 files per post, so I add one more post.
If you have any questions, let me know.

as it is near to impossible to get this wood in Europe, I let it ship directly from Japan. Please, do not ask for costs!10 March 2019 at 10:03 pm #555503Thank you Kurt for your comments. It is for indoor use only and the wood has been dried down to ~10% or so.
My intention is to work this wood as minimal as possible. Which means I will go the solid surface way.
And yes, I will post some photos of the finished board.10 March 2019 at 11:49 am #555493Hi Matt,
it’s been a while and I hope you still enjoy the board. How is it holding up after 2.5 years? Is it still flat and did it bend?
Cheers, Thomas -
