I made this cutting board with Walnut and Cherry wood. The darker wood is the Walnut, and the lighter wood is the Cherry. I wanted to make it look like the two woods came together.

Do you like this style?

[@chuckebbs7541]

That's amazing

[@kevinlarson4762]

It's awesome

[@colonelkurtz2269]

It's reminiscent of MC Escher. Very nice

[@hoihoipoipoi]

It’s far too thick to be a cutting board bro. That thing is like 2"+ a cutting board should be no thicker than 1/2" or 3/4" at MOST.

[@hollybelle5392]

This is awesome!

[@crushhardtack2870]

I don’t even work with wood, and I watched the whole thing. Very impressive. The amount and quality of the jigs he made are incredible. Great work on everything!

A very fine chopping and cutting board Sir' ....and beautiful...it will give years of good kitchen work.

Look into your nearest Woodcraft store. They offer classes. I just signed up for the cutting board class. 6 hours long and limited to 6 people. Everyone makes a cutting board to take home.

[@roberthughesgardenconstruc9168]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship.

Yes!

Cutting boards turned out hella dope, Hess Woodwork! They need to be in a high-end kitchenware catalog and/or retailer!

[@copedog101]

The best tutorial I've seen, DO not skip spraying the board down to raise the grain

[@joost1183]

Can you eloborate? I dont have enough experience to understand what you're saying. Is this applicable for a buyer?

[@RareRiddemz]

​@@joost1183Is only applicable to builder before applying the oil and wax. Otherwise what'll happen is when it's first washed, it'll feel rough. Spraying with water raises the fibers in the wood and allows for the builder to sand them down for a smooth buttery finish

[@doktorapedia]

Watched the entire process. It was very interesting. Made me appreciate the final product more. Wow!

[@amymyers7713]

Absolutely breathtaking. The whole process. Just beautiful. So talented.

[@jayl6688]

At first I didn’t realize why I was about to pay 200 dollars for a cutting board, figured I’d make one myself, now I know why I’m going to buy that 200 dollar cutting board

[@hesswoodwork]

Yes, these take time to make.

[@CountertopInnovation]

Not only that. The amount of tools needed is like what the hell 😅

I was always told it's a big risk running and green boards through the planer but I see that you hit it with a chamfered edge before you ran it through is that what helps prevent snipe or chipping?

That's a piece of art, i'd love to have this in my kitchen. My father was a wood crafter too.

[@hesswoodwork]

[@KS-gf3tv]

Final product looks great. Two questions though: 1. I’ve never seen a carpet scrap used like that before. Is there a purpose other than to reduce noise and vibration? I imagine it’s a pain to clean. 2. Wouldn’t it be easier if you jet the glue dry before scraping? When it’s wet, you’re just mashing it into the grain, v. once it’s dry, it coming off relatively clean.

[@pipe2devnull]

What a work of art 😊. I presume the oil and then the coat of wax prevents the food coming into contact with the glue. Beautiful job

Wow, absolutely beautiful. 👍for adding the groove. IMO cutting boards without it are useless. ❤all the googly eyes everywhere 👀 😂

[@tjerkheringa937]

The best? For a woodworker yes, maybe. They are very pretty of course. For a professional chef not so much. I don't like all the open fibers that absorb dirt. I prefer side grain boards. Please also thinner and lighter. I guess it depends. Do you see them as a work of art? Or as a tool in the kitchen?

[@michellelynn1023]

Well, you better stick to your culinary skills and let him stick to woodworking because end grain cutting boards ARE the best option for your culinary needs, sir. 🔪 End grain boards are more durable and less likely to expand or crack. I’m also a woodworker You’re welcome!

[@richardperkins3460]

My nephew made us one for Christmas a few years ago. Very similar except no drip groove.

Nice! I noticed you used your router on the outside edge before running it though the planer. Does that help keep the planer from tearing up the end grain? First time seeing anyone do that...

Belissimo, very good ✊🏋️‍♂️👍
