[@antitouchable]

You dont really need much to make something like this. All of it can be done with hand tools which take up barely any space. When working with power tools you're trading labor for space, they require virtually zero labor but the tools are huge.

Part of the beauty of making something that is both beautiful and useful is watching it naturally age with use and time, kind of similar to leather boots. This is only the case though if you properly maintain the item.

[@bretburt7317]

Good job. I've done a number of these over the years but always for family/friends, never to sell. A trick for you that I came up with a few years ago: when burning in your logo with a torch heated branding stamp, chuck the stamp/die in a drill press and clamp down your cutting board. That way you always apply straight down pressure and if the die isn't hot enough, you can always heat it up more and press down again on the exact same spot. No shadowing by misalignment of the the second pass. I learned the hard way!

[@KrisDeVo]

Thats actually a really good idea! Ive only messed up a couple of times but it is no fun sanding it to redo. Thanks!

Haha thank you! Loved your comment about sanding for two hours straight! My first commercial finish carpentry gig was creating prepared panels for a commercial installation. Laminated bamboo, two of us cut, edged, sanded and oiled about a thousand board feet of Plyboo to a complex and exacting cut list. Two weeks of work. Stuff smells like cat pee, and dulls tools, sandpaper, and your attitude in a hot minute. Anyway, thanks for the vid, and appreciate your attention to detail on long production jobs. Anyone who ain't done it, don't know what it takes.

[@KrisDeVo]

Haha! Love this comment Bill, thank you! Being a finish carpenter (besides this) I feel your pain too! Except I haven't worked with bamboo which is supposed to be horrible like you say. My wife said I shouldn't include that part about sanding but I said, if you know then you know and you can relate lol. Cheers!
