the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

This was brilliant! I live in Finland and walnut we get here must be imported. Timber we get here is of best quality which means its nice, dark and of highest quality for furniture, kitchen tops etc. It is missing all the wood grain characterics you have here. Beside of this its dead expensive, but when adult has a hobby it comes with a price tag. Were nice job!

Thanks! I hate that it’s so expensive in Finland but it sounds like you at least get very high quality.

I buy mineral oil from my local grocery store. Go to the pharmacy section and get the mineral oil designed for laxative use. A bottle costs just over $2 compared to the $11 that they charge for "food safe" mineral oil. I figure if it is safe enough to drink, then its safe enough to put on a cutting board or cheese board.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Hahah excellent point!

[@RikkPanzera]

The board is simple and beautiful. How long did it take for the epoxy to cure?

[@hajeralkhoori8033]

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thank you, Doug

[@spiritofscouse]

Awesome video. Is all epoxy food safe? When you spray water to raise the grain do you leave it to dry or do you wipe it dry with a cloth?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

No not all is food safe. I let it air dry

[@TheArchform]

Looks like a good cutting board but did you sell it for enough to cover the days work and materials?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I kept this one but yes I believe rhat you can sell these for a nice profit

[@michaelpoyntz774]

I’m about to make a cutting board and I’ve watched your video a few times. Thanks so much for doing it! If I just want to do one or maybe two boards with minimal holes, can you use any epoxy and buy in a smaller quantity? Thanks!

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Yep, you can find it at Lowe’s or Home Depot in smaller quantities

[@noelickes6061]

Beautiful!

[@chefdrewlanderskitchen5519]

Looks amazing. What finish or coat did you use in this video at the end to shine up the board? Is there a food grade polyurethane or varnish you recommend?

[@timtoggs]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Question for ya, you mentioned this being a 1-day build - how long did you let the epoxy cure before moving on to the next step?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

This epoxy only takes about 2 hrs max with the fast hardner. But, this was really shallow stuff and it was cured pretty quick. This epoxy isn’t the thin deep pour stuff that takes forever.

[@timtoggs]

@@PenaltyBoxWoodshop ahh gotcha, makes sense, thank you!

[@mikebohannon3022]

Looks great! I haven’t done the epoxy hole filling yet. How long do you have to let it sit before you starting sanding process?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

It depends on the epoxy you use but this stuff is good in a few hours

[@richardt2905]

Nice!! thanks

[@morganm7403]

So after the finish you used, this is now food safe and ok to wash? When selling these do you give any cleaning advice or wear and tear warning ?

[@pienaar5]

Hi Jesse, thanks for showing the process! One small question: after you raise the grain by spraying water on the wood, do you sand with all the grids again, starting at 80 in this case, or straight to a finer grid? Also, do you let it dry before sanding, or just do it straight after spraying it?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Hey Steven, I just sand with the final grit. No need to go all the way through them again.

[@bmask4731]

Nice. Does it matter what wood is used if you seal with epoxy?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I would stick with hardwoods but other then that, no

[@jacobvaughn5911]

Great video!! Do you have a standard thickness you like to use for your boards?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Thank you! I like to stick to 3/4” to 1” minimum.

[@lindabeach6294]

Does all of the bark have to come off? Will it fall off later, as a cutting board gets contact with water, etc. Must the bark be removed down to the wood edge. Thank you!

Hi! I have some reclaimed barnwood that I would like to use. Pretty in a different way. Just wondering if you have any recommendations for the food safe finish?

What kind of boards can you use? Pine is not a good idea for charcuterie boards? What about stains? For food boards

What price can you sell boards like this? It beautiful.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

$80-$100 depending on your market area and customer base

[@tonyrivas3447]

Amazing video! I just have a question about spindle sanding it. Do you use 80 grit only? Or go further with higher grits for the edges?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I have higher grits to use but I tend to only use 80 grit with it. Get the bulk marks and stuff removed then hand sand the other grits. Thanks!

You could make a handful of these at once and in an 8 hr day. It will need to dry overnight but should be good after that. Boards like these can sell for $80-$120 depending on your area and clientele

[@atorsionx9406]

I've always been nervous about making a board out of a single slab of wood. Am I being paranoid about warping? :o

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Yes, you will have a single warp feature to worry about rather than glueing up multiple pieces, which will introduce not only warping , but also cracking and cupping issues to boot. He is using walnut, a very stable and hard wood too. Very unlikely to ever warp after the oil finish he put into it.

[@dennismacwilliams196]

When working on a project, at the end can you price it for us. Also tell us how you came to that price. That way we would know how to charge for a project. Thank you

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I just didn’t do that because it can be really subjective. Depends on type of wood used, size of boards, where you live (I have a lot of European viewers), and of course inflation.

[@leefreeman3013]

What epoxy did you use that dried less than a day?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Total Boat. Link is in the bio I think

[@misstracee100]

I’m new to all of this. What kind of epoxy can I use?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

For small stuff like this you can use anything from the epoxy from Lowe’s/homedepot in the syringe looking applicators to total boat 2:1 epoxy which is what I used.

[@suefavaro256]

Does the wood you use need to be dried for many months before it is usable?

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Yes, most of the stuff I use has been kiln dried but what is not has been dried for serval months or longer until the proper internal moisture percentage is reached

[@jeannettesauer8936]

This wood is pretty thin. Probably 1" or less. the rule of thumb is that you air dry wood one year per inch of thickness. But this is for furniture - you're making a charcuterie board. For furniture you want wood to be dry enough so it is stable (not moving) in relation to wood it is connected to. Your board is not joined with anything so that doesn't really matter. It is OK for it to move a bit after you finish it. If you're making one, don't worry about the movement. Make your board and if it warps after a few months (and your find this a problem) simply sand or hand plane off the high spots. Also, this you are probably using a short piece of wood. If you're worried about moisture in the wood, put it in the oven at low temp for a couple hours or in the microwave to speed the drying process. (yes that's allowed). then make your board. Wanna know how much it dried? Weigh it before oven/microwave treatment with a food scale. Then weigh it after. The reduction is loss of moisture. You have all you need to know, Grasshopper. Go forth and create.

Not that I’m aware of but I’m sure you can find something. Or just find something to trace like I did with my push stick

[@jeannettesauer8936]

Check KZbin for more vids like this. You will see the boards, and the handles. Pick the ones you like and sketch them on paper. Some boards have handles, some don't. Drawing a handle is not rocket science. Draw some samples on scrap wood and keep samples you like. Remember that even if you had patterns, you pattern likely would not fit exactly your piece of wood. Also remember that when you give your creation away, the recipient won't have the benefit of 10 different options. They will see your board and probably like it.

[@Bamafan0611]

How wide is your typical charcuterie board?

[@robh063]

I saw in the comments that this project actually took you 3 hours and 27 minutes to complete. Can you comment on what kind of epoxy you used that dried hard enough to run it through your planer within that time span? I've used epoxy on numerous projects and it's always at least 8 hours curing time and most times, many hours more than that. You had to use epoxy twice so in my mind, that's 16 hours of drying time. I'm confused.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

I was being slightly funny in that comment but it didn’t take me much longer to complete than that and add a little more time for dry times on the finishing oil. I used total boat 2:1 epoxy with a fast harder. It can take a few hours to cure and harden with deep pours but with holes this small and shallow it took less than an hour.

[@emeraldfox7175]

Epoxy is toxic,I worked in the boat industry for 25 years,you should never use it on this! It releases toxins for years even after cured!
