Thank you very much for all the great help. Warptboard this is what I was looking for. Any more details on size ,angle of cuts,or recutting procdure would be helpful. To all others some great ideas and I would like to try all these boards as well.This is sure a great place to get so much help. Bill Tack
This is easier, and gives the same effect. No angled gluing.

That first glue-up is very tricky since any side pressures will tend to make the pieces slide around (DAMHIKT). You will need cauls to keep things aligned. Or, in my second attempt, I just alternated the wood and then made my second cuts at an angle using my miter gauge (well, actually I used a template cut at an angle and my crosscut sled). That way all my glue-ups were at 90 deg angles and square. The disadvantage of cutting the angles on the second cut is you will waste some wood because all the cuts won't be full-length cuts.
You lost me there on making the first cut @ 90 and then a second cut @ the angle (I think it is 30 degrees).
Can you provide pictures or a sketch to help my old tired brain understand this?

Woodwrecker, great write-up, very nice tutorial. 
I'm trying to figure out how that design/method might be modified to make it an end-grain board... have you thought about it? The first glue-up is the same, but after you do the second cut, rather than flip them end-for-end or front-to-back, you only turn it 90-degrees... that is, stand it on edge. Then you do the second glue-up on face grain.
The question is what happens with those angled cuts if you only rotate the pieces 90 degrees... does it give any alignment or pattern? That's what I'm having a hard time picturing mentally. Do you have any insight or experience trying it?
Thanks much... beautiful boards you have there.
Bill.

The angle glue up produces an end grain cutting board glued on the face grain. The 90* glue up produces a face grain cutting board, glued on the end grain. How does this second one hold up?

I tried not believing. That didn't work so now I just believe.

I accept all congratulations for providing the link, but I can take no credit for the content.

I haven't tried to do that with end-grain, but it seems like there would be problems because of the small dimensions of end-grain cuts. But here is a link to a different site on making an end-grain board. web page
I made a couple like this one, and got lots of hints that I better make some more for Xmas presents.
