I just turned out my first end grain board using some blackwood off cuts and some Huon pine. It's 300x400x35 and weighs about 2.5kg. It took me a week to make and I'm feeling like I won't be making another one until I've had a rest from making this one!
Scraps
Used a couple of straightedge skis to thickness after the first glue up
Cut on the saw ready for the second glue up
Even roped the missus in as a TA
Hand planed and cabinet scraped one side to flatten then thicknessed the other - carefully
Hours of this
Routed the edges and sanded them too then the fun part
Got some pretty nice grain pattern in there. Much debate in my head about the pros and cons of going to 220grit or not. Concerned about closing the grain structure so oil might not penetrate.
