The boards that I create are almost always symmetrical … because in my mind, they must be. I’m driven that way.
Velda, on the other hand, can see boards in an unbalanced, but pleasing way. That’s why she designs chaos boards.
Here’s some of both. Which do you prefer?

I like them all, but prefer the ones where the different types of wood are not too close together. I like to see the different grains and colors.
Anybody who wouldn’t be happy with any of them is too picky, lol – seriously, they are ALL beautiful – I like the symmetric ones but I like the asymmetrical ones too – am I going to be chopping or doing precise slicing/dicing on it? that might make a difference too!!!
