The Maple one we've been using for a few years , the others are Teak , and Mahogany.

Rip strips on the table saw , pin nail together , a guy can make a bunch in one hour. And use all scrap wood  :)

They look nice , and really get used a lot by everyone we've gifted to, at least we've never got one back as a  RE gift ;D

The wood I got at the dump awhile back ....

Fleece hats and neck gaiters.  Pictures to follow.

Before I saw the pictures I thought that they were going to be one piece with routed lines on the top and bottom (in different directions--simple but I'm not sure I'm making sense).  But those are lighter, work just as well, don't depend on the size of one hunk of wood for the ultimate size.
