How is this done? (link to pic)

Can anyone explain the process of making a cutting board with this type of
pattern?

How about a veneer inlay?

I'm going to email him and ask. The worst is he can say no, at best, he
will explain the process and I'm betting no one here has got it right yet.

My guess:

Take boards of 4 different colors, stack them atop each other, maybe
glue them to each other with kraft paper in between. Cut a bunch of
wavy lines on the bandsaw. Separate the layers. You now have 4
'jigsaw puzzles', in 4 different colors. Swap a few pieces between
the puzzles. You now have 4 multi-colored puzzles. Glue together
along the edges, you now have enough for 4 cutting boards. If you
only need 1 cutting board, throw 3 away.

IMHO a router is the key--that and an appropriate template. A
technique using a router and template is described in 'Woodworking
with the Router'. IIRC it's a well-though-out process using two(?)
templates to accomodate the bit thickness and create two mating,curved
surfaces. The artist who crafted this likely used a similar technique
for each joint, gluing each section, then again cutting with another
set of templates. I could burn up lots of lumber trying to get one
curved joint to fit well.

Oops,

Not an inlay... Just read the description from the seller. Sorry about
that. Nice work though.

Can't make a board that way, you have to make a set of boards (as many
boards as you have timbers - usually 4, maybe 5 or 6 if you have the
saw capacity).

Stack up the boards.
Scroll saw a wiggle down the middle.
Swap pairs.
Glue together.

Repeat.
Don't swap the same pair every time.

You need a _pair_ of templates for a router, and your inevitable
inaccuracies are working against each other. No doubt you could do it
that way, but (IMHO) it's going to end up a lot less neat than the
scrollsaw.
