for someone who never had a cutting board before, you did an amazing job

did you look at pictures, or did someone lend you a model to work from

thanks! our teacher showed us a few pictures at the start of the class for different cutting board styles and we decided which one to do. i chose this since he said it was good for practicing with the table saw. he helped me with providing some initial measurements but i deviated from that plan since I didn't have enough wood and i really wanted a side grain cutting board rather than a face grain so i had to figure out some new measurements.
