Cool Wooden Cheese Boards

I made these cool wooden cheese boards a few months ago to sell at a couple of craft fairs. They were very popular items, so I am going to make some more, and in the process I will show you how I do it.

I really like the contrasting woods.

[@JoeyBPhotography]

Absolutely gorgeous, I'd definitely make something like that!

[@karenmckay1408]

A nice quick project with a great outcome. Very classy looking cheese boards. Thanks Mike.

[@gerdashupe1546]

Thanks for the idea, I made 5 in different colors and inserts they turned out beautiful can't wait to take them to the show next week.

[@lisak5274]

these look fabulous, thanks so much for sharing. I'm just getting into wood work and I think this is something I could manage.

[@dawitscreativestudio8813]

They look really nice. I'll give it a shot. thanks.

[@j316finewoodworking6]

Gonna make some soon to sell as Christmas gifts, great idea...love it

[@roughcutscanada]

Great project for Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing. I have walnut and cherry logs I am milling today, so I will use some of the slabs to create some cheese boards when I dry the boards.

[@johnkraemer5505]

Very nice workmanship! Thank you for sharing!

[@johngunning2123]

Brilliant! I'm definitely going to have a go at making these!

[@jungsomewhat]

Wonderful!! Enjoyed your production great result 👍

[@gregschlierf2931]

Yes, I am going to try today! I think this really is nice.

[@weldmama]

beautiful work and great idea about cutting a circle out of the size you want to use as a lathe guide - helpful if you dont have calipers - helpful even if you do lol thanks again!

[@casperscuts2627]

This is the second time I've watched this clip (the first time was close to a year ago) and I was still impressed with the outcome, great job!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Larry!

[@tracicoleman4129]

I especially like the one with Padauk. I am going to try it. I may try an offset cut in the contrast circle and see how it looks.

[@WoodFrontier]

I like the design on these. That ring looks great. -Todd

[@nelsonclan71]

These are really great!

[@Pacwind31]

Yep, I sure wood make it. Nice work!

[@MadWilly66]

Not only wood I make it, Mike, I am going to make it! I love these boards, especially the contrasting ring. Nice touch!!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Chris! Good luck with the project.

[@paulandgail3212]

Really great design

[@lawrencerayborn6258]

First time here Great site with some awesome ideas. I am making some boards for Christmas. Semi retired LPR

[@norocketsciencebuild5371]

Watching that was soooo satisfying! Thanks!

[@AmericaFirstNow]

first time here. i am going to use a few of your ideas.thanks.

[@ericmoorehead9701]

I have enjoyed your video and have made several of your designs. I have standardized on ambrosia maple, with either walnut, purple heart, cherry or Paduk. Depending on the ambrosia, I also fill voids with turquoise or red stone, either in resin or CA depending on the sixe of the void. Thank you

[@foradeescalacomflaviaefeli7471]

Great work friend, I loved it.

[@stevenhardyjr.5948]

Looks awesome!!

[@navarroedwards8031]

[@jmthalifemusic3939]

Looks nice

[@PhantomFish]

Nice job, Mike. Looks great!

[@Woodumakeit]

+Phantom Fish Thanks!

[@glennbathrick1021]

Great video!!! I will definitely give this project a shot. I have a few friends who like fancy cheese during the Holidays, and a nice cutting board would be a great gift! Thank you for the great idea!!! I've seen a few of your videos and you do extremely nice work!!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thank you so much! I am glad you will be able to try making a few of these. Good luck!

[@ericmoorehead1100]

I have been wanting to tell you that I have made probably 20 of your design boards over the last two years. I use paduck, ambrosia, walnut, cherry and spalted tamarind. I want to thank you very much for your video.

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks for the feedback. That's great to hear! I bet they look quite nice with those different wood combinations.

[@joelico3983]

Great work, they look fantastic! What’s the name of the dark brown epoxy you used please?

[@jcevans16]

Gorgeous, i have got to find some padauk wood.

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

Great job.

[@robertsoncletokoerner7012]

ótima idéia, parabéns!!!

[@mteske1]

Awesome stuff!

[@sumandl]

That was nice ! I really like this idea. I made a lot of cutting boards... and i think its time to make a cheese board now.

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You are sure to do great things with your new SCM Minimax!

[@jackskelton6773]

Very very nice. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👋

[@davidcrandell1172]

Very nice, thanks for sharing

[@cdouglas1942]

Much to be said for projects that aren't too complicated and sell well. Trying to think of a way to do this with hole saws as I own neither a 3" FB nor a lathe.

[@jodyhendrix5876]

I will TRY to make it!

[@brunolopez1198]

Amazing job! Congrats

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks!

[@RyDaSiDu]

Looks amazing 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@eter1001]

This is beautiful ! I will definitely give it a try :D

[@Itmovesme1]

nice work.

[@yonimartinez8961]

Just found your channel and these boards look great

[@Woodumakeit]

Thank you!

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Can you share the general dimensions?

[@JolienBrebels]

I wood definitely make it!

[@wmwalkerco]

Those look great man! The one you said you liked the best, I think that is actually just the heartwood of the maple, not spalting, but regardless, way to make them really interesting!

[@eldoradocraftsman3733]

Now That is Awesome. 👏🏾👏🏾

[@VinceEspositoJr]

I did make them (except for the ring). They were a hit.

[@alsjka]

Great video.. recycled some oak and used your two bowl design..

[@BradLobregt]

Yep..... I plan on making some of these for gifts to family members and friends. Thanks.. Brad

[@Woodumakeit]

They're perfect for gifts. Good luck with the build. -- Mike

[@tywannaluckey7086]

I love them all. I just started making Cutting Boards, I'm enjoying it! Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@Menelik.videos]

Great work!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thank you!

[@toddb7154]

Nice Job!

[@szilardpinter]

And yes I would make it too!😉 Nice project!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thank you, Szilard!

[@fatonib17]

cool i might try dah !!

[@brianrussell7691]

Yes, i would. Nice design thank you. Simple, yet bold. Nice technique on using a hole saw for the large circumference then a forstner bit to make the interior hole to make the handle area. Would have not thought of that one. Gave me a solution for another project i've been pondering how to accomplish. Nice wood choices on the birds eye maple and padauk. I'm already thinking of a fun variation of your design to include a small round hole about 1/2" deep for a ramekin (ours are 2 3/8") to hold either nuts or fruit spread or something to compliment the cheese on the board. Nice design, learned a few new techniques. Well done.

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Brian. Great idea for the ramekin. I purchased a whole bunch of those when they went on sale and was planning to do something similar, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

[@brianrussell7691]

Wood U Make It You're welcome. I look forward to seeing your take on the idea. Thanks for creating excellent woodworking videos.

[@sapphodesigns2377]

Yes I WOOD....Looks great..

[@barryroberts6470]

Very nice builds and video as usual from you, you are right about that Paduke, it really pops out when the oil is applied, I think that is one of my fav woods due to it's colour, also looked amazing when the dust was shooting off it on the lathe. Well Done MIKE keep up this excellent work you are doing. Barry (ENG)

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Barry. Yeah, that shot of the red dust was pretty cool. -- Mike

[@barryroberts6470]

So sorry for putting the wrong name down, don't know how I did that? Sorted it now. Barry (ENG)

[@Woodumakeit]

No worries. It gave me a chuckle this morning. :-))

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Very nice

[@jamesdavenport9551]

You said it was to find the exact center for the Forstner Bit. I use a way which I think is very easy. I place a 1/8 drill bit in the chuck. Put the work piece in the drill press and use 1/8 drill bit to find the center where you wish to have the Forstner Bit to drill. Clamp down the work piece then remove the 1/8 drill bit and install the Forstner Bit and drill. NOTE you may have to lower then rase the drill press platform to install the Forstner Bit.

[@shoey64]

Your finished boards look 👀 like a ceiling fan blade. Nice job.

[@lorenalagos6264]

Yeeeeeeees!!!!!!!.... sooooo beautifuuuul!!!!!!

[@DeanWilson]

I would love to make it, but I don't have the tools to do something that big. Might have to stick with making coasters for now :) Great work though.

[@ZouritWoodshop]

Good job, Il love it !

[@kuffyswoodwork]

thumbs up for showing the raw timber being oiled. best part ever!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed that part. It's the most rewarding thing to do at the end of a project.

[@superpresivolvo]

Muy buen trabajo.... Me gusto mucho esa lijadora de tambor.... Puedes decirme donde la puedo conseguir??? Muchas gracias..... Desde España

[@mikemorrell2001]

I’d make it if I had all of your equipment. What do you use for your finish on these boards?

[@cohen758]

I really like that you use the words cool and cheese boards in the same sentence. I guess there is a first for everything... Nonetheless, nice looking boards!

[@KnottyDogWoodshop]

nice work!

[@Woodumakeit]

Thank you!

[@MichaelSmith-nk4yq]

I like it and I’m going to make it 👍🏾👍🏾

[@dannybigdog4384]

Yes!!@ very nice!!!

[@mattmorrisson9607]

I would definitely make it! But first, I gotta figure out a way to make the round piece without a lathe.

[@Sawell123]

very nice cutting board design! they look amazing :) which finish do you suggest for those kind of boards (food preparation)?

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks for your comment. I use a food grade mineral oil to finish these types of boards. Here's a link to the one that I used in this video: amzn.to/2ATPhiN

[@Marcus_Caius]

Hello Mike, I'm curious how many items you bring with you when you go to a craft fair.

[@tooljunkie555]

they look nice! and yes theyre really do sell great at crafts shows. and. yes i wood make it/them ;)

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Joe!

[@tooljunkie555]

Wood U Make It​ always!! Look forward to seeing what you do next video

[@jeffstubb6116]

Very nice boards, what do you charge for them at a show?

[@jpallen719]

Iam a novice wood worker at best, no because I’m in Arborist and I come in contact with a lot of different styles of wood I have more ideas than I do time and skill. I don’t have all these tools, any advice on what I wood need to attempt a project close to this? By the way best charcuterie board I have seen yet, simple but elegant.

[@robfielding100]

Fantastic video. I might give it a go ... but my tools are limited ... as is my general woodworking ability!

[@oldsmobuicktb]

I absolutely love these. I like the padauk one the best. How do you keep the pad auk from bleeding over to the maple wen you sand? Also, do you have any tricks to keep the padauk from darkening to brown over time? Thanks for the great video.

[@Woodumakeit]

One thing that I've found useful to prevent the "bleeding" is to use compressed air to remove the fine padauk dust particles. That does a pretty good job of eliminating the problem. I don't think there's any way to prevent the padauk from darkening. It'll happen eventually no matter what you try.

[@davidosullivan3432]

there beautiful but i am concerned with the round inserts due too end grain to end grain with just glue in conjunction with wood movement will they eventually fall out

[@hazembata]

I dig it.

[@scottmclean4237]

Oh amazing that padauk is incredible what finish did you apply

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks for the feedback! It's mineral oil that I used for the finish. It's food safe and really easy to apply another coat, when needed. Here's a link to the one that I used: amzn.to/2NiGsq8

[@gas7846]

wow...ottimo progetto...

[@Woodumakeit]

Grazie !

[@ilyaz1]

Hi Mike, these look awesome! You recommend wetting and drying wood in between sanding rounds. How many time would you suggest repeating the wet-dry-sand cycle? Does it depend on the type of wood? Type of finish you plan to apply afterwards? Thank you!

[@Woodumakeit]

I find that it makes the most difference if you do it twice. After that, it doesn't make as much of a difference. Each type of wood behaves differently, so you'll definitely find that the grain raises more than others after wetting and letting it dry. I'm not sure about the last question, but I would think that it might make more difference for a water-based finished that "might" cause the grain to raise more, but I'm not really sure.

[@esvidig]

Bravo sono stupendi

[@kranthi666]

Hi Michael... Great video.... Can you let me know what router bit you used to make the corners of the board round...

[@Woodumakeit]

Hi Kranthi. To round the edges, I use a 1/4" roundover bit. The one I like is from Freud, but there are many other brands that you can use as well.

[@marceaton3128]

Yes, I would. I have a question about the epoxy. I made a cutting board and used a laser to engrave it. I want to fill that engraving with epoxy and purchased one that says it is FDA compliant. Do you worry about chip out or tear out when cutting on that board? Thanks, for​ sharing the video.

[@Woodumakeit]

I would tend to use this type of a board more as a serving tray rather than a hard core cutting board. You could use it for light cutting of cheese or paté. It might be a good idea to use a wooden knife for that, just to minimize scratching.

[@IronMountainDefense]

Like very much. Great work

[@Woodumakeit]

Thanks, Jeff!
