Arguably one of the best work I have ever seen.

[@skolaprimitivne428]

Interesting idea ❤

[@nancybrister7588]

A Well Done Art Piece!!! Just Beautiful!!!

[@dennismullens41]

SPF 100+ (sphincter pucker factor) on drilling the handle and feet holes in such an art piece. Absolutely beautiful! This post made me want to pour a board of my own. I sa dead and removed decay on a cherry burl tonight in honor of your artianship.

[@waterlilly62lori]

Do you have a link for the thing you used for handle placement?

[@donnacowell7415]

It’s so pretty. I love it.

[@adiringer1959]

Cool video! It clearly shows the steps you took and how the boards transforms. I like the 45° sanding jig! Thanks for sharing

[@cecilabryant6466]

That tray is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@johnshipe1]

Stunning!

[@SKE-nn3hp]

That's so cool. I don't know why but epoxy intimidates me so much and I would love to do projects with it.

[@petesworkshop7805]

Start with small projects and be okay with making mistakes. It’s how you learn. It’s not as difficult as you might think.

[@LivingMyBestLifeIAm]

It intimidates you because soooo many things can go wrong and they are costly mistakes. These supplies are far from inexpensive. I’m right there with you!🫶🏻

[@donnacowell7415]

It’s not hard. Start with just coating some tiles with it. Tape the backs so it’s easy clean up. Use rubber gloves, clean up with rubbing alcohol.

[@p8ryot]

Where can one find such beautiful wood, definately not something easily found off the shelf. Do you have to search through the forests?

[@SKE-nn3hp]

That came out so amazing...

[@tjerkheringa937]

Beautiful looking piece! To be honest, i would never eat anything that was lying on an epoxy surface. But i would happily hang it on the wall as an art piece.

[@petesworkshop7805]

This particular epoxy is food safe once cured and complies with FDA regulations.

[@georgebrill3072]

Great looking board.

[@Croft315]

Nice work Pete!

[@caseymorgan2112]

What do you do if you hit a few beans when routing the edge?

[@waterlilly62lori]

Beautiful

[@thomscalamaras9833]

Beautiful board! What type or brand of buffing compound do you use?

[@p8ryot]

Beautiful, what are the dimensions of your mold?

[@aleksruv]

Очень красиво! Скажите пожалуйста какие компоненты после шлифовки?

[@valdersonlima2387]

incrivel !!! brasil

[@waterlilly62lori]

Was the wood covered in resin? Why walrus oil?

[@milosgrujic9118]

What liquid you are using for wet sanding? Water?

[@ameliamarkarian1156]

Would you be willing to share where you purchased your wood?

[@GrahamGphotoParker]

Wow love it. Question please, I am trying to learn. I have been told that sanding wood above 240-320 the poured get to small to take oil etc but yours looks great.

[@waterlilly62lori]

What is wet sanding and why is it done?

[@waterlilly62lori]

How do you make your mold?

[@nullrout556]

Did you stabilize the coffee first or just use regular beans?

[@markray3733]

Hello, no where does it say the size of the board you made. Can you tell me the size? Looks like about 12" x 16"....thanks. Looks great!!

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

What were your dimensions? Thickness?

[@jefferyf6930]

where did you get the olive wood? And how much did that cost you? TY Jeff

[@tombruno3986]

8/19/23. 1. Did you have to dry the coffee beans prior to coating them? 2. Did you deep pour over the entire board, including the wood?

[@sbb526]

How far up did you wet sand to?

[@lindygamble3187]

Gorgeous! Is the top layer of wood bare or covered with resin? It's so shiny I can't tell.

[@petesworkshop7805]

Thank you! It is bare.

[@joannrice8359]

Hi., Great video. I watched another video where the person planed the entire top after the last fill pour. FYI- I don't have a planer so that was a bit daunting. Since you avoided the planing step, please tell me if you planed the wood before placing in the mold. Thank you.

[@caseymorgan2112]

unless you have your own horizontal band saw, a planer sled or a planer, your will have to use hand planer

[@OlegChumachenko-iz5ql]

Hi! It's very pretty. Could you please give me the dimensions? Width, length, thickness. Thank you

[@markmoulin41]

Question for you. Since you sanded to 4000 grit, will the mineral oil based cutting board oil penetrate the pores of the wood? I have been told that once you sand much above 320, the pores of the wood are closed and the oil will not penetrate.

[@rpwolfe72]

Yeah that's bogus. Oil will absolutely penetrate wood sanded up to even 6000 grit which I sand to often. Don't know where that originated but it's bull@#!@t.

[@honzazenisek2816]

Moc krásné 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 co je to za dřevo?

[@toddnorgan4041]

Hey can I ask why no one pours epoxy right over the wood for cutting boards or chauterie boards sorry for the spelling Todd

[@stephaniegasmalla7568]

We do all the time and then polish the heck out of that sucker with Autopolish. Comes out spiffy clean and shiny. Optional topping with lacquer or polyurethane

[@stephaniegasmalla7568]

Although that optional step is more suitable for tables.

[@waterlilly62lori]

Do you have to remove the bark?

[@caseymorgan2112]

yes

[@kitterzy]

Huh… Attaching the sandpaper to wood block already cut on the 45° angle to sand the bevel. Not something I would have thought of since I’m not a woodworker. I may need to use that trick soon as I’m about to do some minor renovation work. I’m just handy enough to do things the right way and not have to call someone to fix it. 😂

[@petesworkshop7805]

Ha. To be fair, my neighbor who is also a woodworker gave me the idea a while back.

[@caseymorgan2112]

So I guess you just cut right through the beans when squaring up? Why? Does that not hinder the aesthetics and integrity of the epoxy??

[@rwg1811]

Too bad you didn't provide useful information like how you sealed the wood, how you found the would.

[@caseymorgan2112]

jesus, do some remedial research. Too bad you are too lazy to find your own supplies

[@lukes6084]

😃 PЯӨMӨƧM

[@IMakeStuff92]

Coffee beans are cheaper than epoxy I guess lol
