Nothing much to say here. This is probably the most common Woodworking project tackled by shop enthousiasts, and to boot this is the design used by most on their first attempt. Plans are available here: http://www.woodstore.net/encubo.html
That said, one of a kind End-Grain Cutting Boards makes the perfect gift for practically everyone and they don't require Master craftmanship to achieve eye-catching result.
