How to make a cutting board: End grain vs face grain

My wife requested a new chopping board and I went overboard as I'm prone to do, making both end grain and face grain boards.
I was amazed at how much I learned from making simple chopping boards, there's a lot to learn from choosing the right hardness of wood, the right food safe finish, what glue to use and so much more.
