So I just picked up this 12"×6"×10' maple beam at an auction today and had to chop off two feet of it to fit it in my car. I'm thinking of making a couple end-grain carving boards for friends with what was cut off.
I'm tentatively thinking of just slicing it into 2" cookies and gluing them together, but I've never seen a cutting board like this that wasn't a collection of like 1" pieces glued together. Is there any reason not to use larger pieces when gluing up a cutting board? Thanks in advance
Two things:

do you have any pictures handy? I couldn't find a single image of a cutting board like I'm imagining
That's it there. It's kinda dirty now
I'm specifically wondering about an end-grain cutting board, but that's really good looking!
Ah my bad, I missed that part, sorry.
