Great idea but I checked with my scroll saw and it responded with "Fughidaboutit"... :D

Looks like a fun project...

I am definitely not going down the path of trying to cut that out. However, if a member would like to try it, make me an offer on what one would cost. I have a niece that it would make a perfect birthday gift for.

The trick is Jon, glue up 3 boards of different woods,if you are doing it on your CNC, cut the pattern,of the whole thing all the way through on all 3 ,then assemble them back using unmatching colors. And come out in 3 different boards. Also scroll saw the same would probably work. Maybe even a Bandsaw.

It would make a nice preschooler puzzle too. I wonder what the dimensions are.

I would think printing three (or as many desired) of the pattern and use one for each color desired. Then use the scroll saw for each piece. Sand, contour as desired and then assemble. Might just work...

Bandsaw might do it with a very thin blade using the same multiple print technique.

Crazy cutting boards.png
If I were to do it on the bandsaw, I would stack them and saw them at once. This would cut down on the sanding and fitting as all the pieces would be the same and would fit closer. Sanding curves is a touchy subject, the inside radius's get larger and the outside radius's get smaller, so the more you sand the bigger the difference, VOE.

Here are some I did by stacking on the bandsaw, crazy chess board,and crazy cutting boards. (click to enlarge )

The 2 pic's on the left are assembling 2 color boards and wavy cutting vertical,reassembling then stacking and wavy cutting crosswise, this was the third set. The first set was the lower right 3 color boards cut on straight angle cuts then reassembled once each board using the combination of the three boards. The far right one was The second attempt assembling 2 colored boards, stack cutting wavy across and reassembling alternating parts.
The challenge here is to get the points of the squares to touch.

I'm guessing that would take the patience of a Saint... :D
