END GRAIN Cutting Board *** A Sunset Inspired Cutting Board

[@teejay3510]

I made one of these boards following your design. Thanks. The hardest part was making each panel "randomly different" - most other designs you have to be precise and militantly uniform, that and my brain doesn't do random well. I also had to glue up the final board in two stages because trying to do it all at once I couldn't get the clamps to put enough pressure through the whole board to close all the gaps, maybe something to do with using so many thin slices. I haven't had this issue before with any glue-up.

[@DefenderTIM]

You have so many cool design ideas, I can't decide which of them I want to build for myself.

[@guillo2388]

I've learned so much from watching your videos. I appreciate your craft and how you share your process and perspective. Not only do you have great woodworking skills, you're an artist. All of your boards are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to film these and share your work.

[@luzybuzzy9810]

[@terryduprie6313]

One of the best looking boards I've seen. Really nice job!!!

[@thewoodplank4376]

I really appreciate it!! It was a fun challenge trying to turn a sunset into a cutting board, most of my boards are inspired by nature. Thanks for watching!

[@eudoriooliveiranetoneto6831]

Muito bacana seus trabalhos Vc e qual estado?

[@avramw]

Beautiful board, beautiful video, beautiful music! You're off to a fantastic start with this channel, man! Kudos!

[@thewoodplank4376]

I really appreciate it!! I basically locked myself in my shop for the past year working out ideas and getting the technique down. I am at the point where I want to share all the things Ive been working on. Thanks for the support, more videos are on the way!!

[@marcusviniciusdeoliveira8269]

A lot of talent in this beautiful work!!! Congratulations!!! Marcus 🇧🇷

[@eileenmacias8330]

Beautiful work

[@bryanmcdowell9655]

Very beautiful and inspirational boards. What is the size of the opening on the jig you use to cut the finger holes?

[@sleepyowl910]

Thank you for showing the tedhnique! What is the purpose of sanding at 3:16 after planing?

[@williamevans-y9f]

in your glue up put a sacrificial board on that can be cut off on the table saw after your plaining , it works for me

[@mayterosoto1107]

Hermosa tabla, como el atardecer, gracias maestro!!! 👌👍

[@jasonf1340]

I’m a new subscriber I’m glad I found your channel. You really inspire me. To want to build stay safe.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks for the sub and I wish you all the best on your woodworking journey 🙌

[@LTDWoodworks]

Beautiful board and beautiful views! I'm not too far from you up in the mountains of VA. My dream is to find a view like yours in my back yard as well. Keep up the great work on the boards and videos!

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks friend, always keep the dream alive! 🙌

[@rovidsonfirmino1024]

Amazing board.

[@thewoodplank4376]

🙌

[@bobgowen8863]

I really appreciate the different cutting boards you have been making, and what each one means. My questions are on the juice grooves and hand holes. Do yoy make several passes to get to a depth, or hog it all at once. Thanks.

[@gregeverhart5179]

Another beautiful board. What bit did you use when routing the juice groove and what bit when routing the fingertip groove?

[@iroman68]

AMAZING!!!

[@thewoodplank4376]

I really appreciate it!! 🙌

[@johnmartin9090]

Beautiful work and creative. I love to build cutting boards myself . But have yet to master one so nice.

[@banswood7438]

Awesome! Well done!

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks!! I appreciate it! 🙌

[@dalepage5511]

I have made many end grain boards in the past few years but have never imagined or have seen a design like this. Very impressive and pleasing. I do not put a trough around the cutting surface because I caution folks not to cut meat on the board. After flattening an antique butcher's block on legs, I know how the juices can turn rancid to the point of being nauseating. How do you treat the board to keep it from absorbing the meat juices? Thanks for making the video.

[@thewoodplank4376]

A juice groove can be helpful, I think as long as you use a tight grain hardwood, and keep the board oiled/waxed you should be ok. Also its not just for meats, watermelons and various other fruits can also produce a lot of fluid. Some of my boards are reversible for this reason, one side for veggies one side for meats.

[@simple7tube]

Beautiful work! Is that a core box bit for the juice groove and if so, what size do you use for this size of board? Thanks!

[@navarroedwards8031]

I know that I have not seen every cutting board that you have made but I have never been disappointed in the ones I have seen. Are most of your cutting boards around 2 inches? Thanks

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks so much! Yes I normally build a slightly thicker board at 2 inches. I also like to make "prep" boards a little thinner at 1 inch, everyone really needs at least two boards in the kitchen 👍

[@chriswilson6825]

What kind of woods are used here?

[@jorgepallares7149]

Great looking boards love the colors. If I may ask what size do you initially cut your strips when making a cutting board?

[@shanenewton1148]

That is an amazing cutting board. What type of wood did you use? Also any build plans?

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks! Easily my favorite trio of hardwoods, walnut, cherry and hard maple.I've had some requests on build plans and I may try to figure a way to accomplish that, we'll see!

[@joemomjian534]

What brand bees wax did you use on the cutting board agter the mineral oil bath. Also where can I buy it

[@andyfreimuth3695]

I really like your cutting boards, where do you buy all your lumber

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks! Acquiring lumber is the hardest part, it's a constant scavenger hunt. Basically anywhere and everywhere but nowhere in particular.

[@andrenascimento7680]

Muito bom

[@crashingatom6755]

Suddenly I want to do a cutting board that pays tribute to Impressionism Sunrise.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Let me know if you do I'd love to see it!!

[@rutgis77]

Just curious, why do you put the feet on before the oil?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I know its a little backwards, two reasons 1) I like to make sure there is no wobble or issues before I put the oil on. 2) Once the board comes out of the oil its best to keep airflow underneath, with feet already attached its quick and easy, this is just my protocol.

[@russelltaylor736]

When you do your initial glue up, are you starting with face or edge grain?

[@thewoodplank4376]

It often varies, but with this board design I started with edge grain.

[@russelltaylor736]

@@thewoodplank4376 Thanks! I love all your work. You inspire me.

[@RobertSchoenert]

where do you get the feet for your boards? are they stainless steel?

[@thewoodplank4376]

After going through a few different rubber feet I found a set I really like on Amazon and they come with stainless screws. I have a link in the description in a few different videos.

[@BrianWilliamsInspires]

What grit sand paper do you use in your drum sander?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I mostly use 80 grit and the occasional 100, with endgrain the higher grits help but will tend to burn. I've also started buying the sandpaper in a roll and cutting it myself, saves a lot of money.

[@alexm1841]

Amazing as usual! Do you wax the top only?

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks! I wax the top, bottom and sides, This way if the new owner neglects it a little there will be some good initial coverage.

[@joeysampaolo8962]

Where do you live? Looks beautiful there. Great work 👍🏼

[@thewoodplank4376]

WNC no shortage of inspiration.

[@ИгорьГоршков-н1м]

Потрясающе !!! Можно я кое-что повторю ? 👌

[@thewoodplank4376]

Действуй!

[@GK-qz3cm]

Beautiful cutting board. Video would be much much better if the work were verbalized.

[@deanwilliams93]

I subscribed. Beautiful Work, Wonderful Music. ASMR. At 64 I am looking forward to making Cutting Boards of this Quality. I am in Maryland where some properties sell for millions on the coast. I think they are worth $500 as a closing gift for a Realtor. Your thoughts please.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks for the sub! This was the first video I made and I kinda wish I could re-edit it but hey, gotta start somewhere. These do make great closing gifts. My personal experience with realtors is they don't want to spend that much on a closing gift, (although mine haven't been million dollar properties either) and usually they want thier logo engraved somewhere. I think once someone sees how much of a difference a board like this can make in a kitchen, they catch on fairly quickly!

[@sam_the_man]

You use glue almost as wastefully as my daughter uses bubble bath lol

[@thewoodplank4376]

I agree, I tend to overdue things.

[@GreenGoose99]

Isn’t this edge grain?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I primarily stick with making endgrain boards like this one but may do some edge grain videos in the future.
