Epoxy Resin Coffee Bean Charcuterie Board

[@mikeereneta5263]

Arguably one of the best work I have ever seen.

[@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.

[@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?

[@ringeradi]

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

[@entallergydoc1]

Beautifully done!

[@cecilabryant6466]

That tray is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@donnacowell7415]

It’s so pretty. I love it.

[@thomscalamaras9833]

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

[@mygoprojourney1480]

Beautiful piece. Question. Won’t the car polish make the board not food friendly? Won’t it soak into the wood?

[@seantonnesen1636]

Beautiful charcuterie board. Where do you source the wood that you use?

[@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]

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

[@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.

[@davekoch317]

I have one of these going now, not nearly as cool as yours. I planed the bottom of mine and there are exposed coffeee beans where I planed. Does your method leave any exposed bean, and if so, how do you deal with the exposed bean? How do you treat the coffee bean that is exposed when you bevel the edges?

[@peterschmidt1594]

Question on using coffee beans for a charcuterie board. I've tried it twice and have had issues with the epoxy not hardening. I pour a thin layer and let it harden and then add coffee beans. Then I pour a second layer so the beans are partially submerged in the epoxy and they stick to it. After it's hard, I pour a third layer to cover the beans and let it sit to completely harden. When I remove the board from the mold, the second layer of epoxy is liquid and it runs out from between the first and third layer. Is there something with coffee beans that would cause this or is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks!

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

What were your dimensions? Thickness?

[@johnshipe1]

Stunning!

[@caseymorgan2112]

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

[@Croft315]

Nice work Pete!

[@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!!

[@p8ryot]

Beautiful, what are the dimensions of your mold?

[@aleksruv]

Очень красиво! Скажите пожалуйста какие компоненты после шлифовки?

[@Grimm_Reeper]

Beautiful work. Please make more 🍻🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@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

[@waterlilly62lori]

What is wet sanding and why is it done?

[@waterlilly62lori]

Beautiful

[@OlegChumachenko-iz5ql]

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

[@jefferyf6930]

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

[@milosgrujic9118]

What liquid you are using for wet sanding? Water?

[@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?

[@honzazenisek2816]

Moc krásné 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 co je to za dřevo?

[@ameliamarkarian1156]

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

[@jeffurwin-wb9yr]

Love the board not so keen on the handles 👀👍

[@numerousactuary6640]

I've never seen anyone put mixed epoxy meant for pouring into a pressure vat right away. Can yourself or anyone else share more information about this method? Seems like it would be overkill, but then again I am not sure how long its going in? Is it an alternative to a heat gun to pop bubbles? Thanks in advance!

[@waterlilly62lori]

Was the wood covered in resin? Why walrus oil?

[@georgebrill3072]

Great looking board.

[@SKE-nn3hp]

That came out so amazing...

[@waterlilly62lori]

How do you make your mold?

[@sbb526]

How far up did you wet sand to?

[@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.

[@David-pd8xc]

I just sanded two boards to 10000 grit (probably overkill, but I had the sandpaper so why not?) Both boards absorbed lots of mineral oil and turned out beautifully.

[@nullrout556]

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

[@waterlilly62lori]

Do you have to remove the bark?

[@caseymorgan2112]

yes

[@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.

[@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

[@stephaniereich1098]

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

[@stephaniereich1098]

Although that optional step is more suitable for tables.

[@skolaprimitivne428]

Interesting idea ❤

[@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.

[@valdersonlima2387]

incrivel !!! brasil

[@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??

[@dalebettison8053]

Those handles spoil the whole thing...

[@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
