First boards

Just got my garage set up as a shop and made my first pieces. They're all imperfect, which is fine because two are staying with me and the striped one was a mothers day gift this last weekend. But I'd like some thoughts.

The end grain board uses blocks of walnut for "feet", the other two have little rubber ones. I also used some excess of the end grain to make coasters for my place, so it didn't go to waste. (Couple blocks delaminated on some strips, so they didn't fit the board anymore)

Pictures are all shortly after oiling them, so they're a bit shiny in the shots, but.. that's what I have on hand.

Walnut, padeuk, purpleheart, and maple. (Hopefully in a pattern that will still work when they all begin to "brown")
