I’ve got my work cut out for me, there’s a decent amount of flattening needed on a few strips, and the planer I have access to is abut rough around the edges, so not all the joints are perfect, but it’s alright overall.
Once it’s flattened and cleaned up, the remaining aesthetic flourishes are to use walnut/sapele to put an edge around it or just cap the ends, then ease the edges and router handles into the ends. I was looking at the boos block website, and they offer the option to put the finger grooves in the middle or in the bottom edge and I really like the functionality of having them on the bottom

OP has puns. I’m not complaining lol.
I swear that was not intentional, a happy accident
I’m hooked! I look forward to your posts, thanks for sharing.
Forgot to include these
I hope you’re talking about a hand plane because putting a broad like that through a planer is a big no no
Huh. Never seen one where the ends were made into the surface.
The expensive ones are made that way, dulls the knives less
It’s actually quite common and is in theory superior to side grain ones. Dulls the knife less this way. All the cutting and gluing does make it more expensive though. I’ve never used one, so I’ll have to make one for myself and see if the hype is true.
Are you gonna plane it? Oof, that can be tough.
