Great work, Ben! WDE!

Thank you! War Eagle

Ben, great video. I am getting ready to start my first cutting board. What kind of blade do you on your table saw for ripping and cross cutting the wood for the cutting board? Thanks.

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Right now, I have a 10 inch DeWalt blade.

Love the videos! Question: where do you purchase your wood? Any online shippers that sell black walnut for instance at a decent price?

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Thank you so much! The wood I used in this video was from Keim Lumber in Ohio. I think Rockler sometimes will run sales on hardwoods that can be reasonable. For the most part, however, I have found it best to buy in bulk, or process your own lumber.

These turned out amazing! Great job Ben. Thanks for all the advise also.

Nice work

Thank you!

[@mattcarr9026]

Where do you source your wood supply from? Local or do you have a supplier online you have used? I am talking higher quantities not just the occasional side project. Thank you!

I have 18”x2”x3/4” thick pieces of wood. are these big enough for a cutting board when I lay them flat ?

[@martinneff4675]

Good job. Thankyou.

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Thank you!

Hi Ben. Great video. How many coats of the Watco Butcherblock Finish do you typically apply?

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Thank you! I think a minimum of two.
