How to make a woven cutting board - John Barnes

[@AprilAllYear]

I'm taking a big chance now - after retiring early and unexpectedly but needing an income, we invested in a CNC router and now I'm learning about woodworking! 😂

[@ghjytffjkk]

let us know how it’s going from time to time

[@JamesSmith-f1w]

Video very good would like to see more thanks

[@orchardhillband5949]

Absolutely love that weave design which is why I watched your video in the first place. Great job explaining the whole process. And I love the fact that you get multiple boards by starting out with long boards. I hadn’t seen that before.

[@Robinson67]

Yesterday I took a chance by traveling and having an adventure by myself! I was nervous and went back and forth, but took the plunge and am so glad I did!! It was an awesome time and met some amazing people and animals.

[@johnbarneswood]

I love this, thanks for sharing! I hope you meet many more people and animals on your next adventure

[@tbrooks7966]

This is a great video on creating the weave design. Thanks for sharing! A chance I took was in 2018 we (wife and 4 kids) sold our house bought a truck and a fifth wheel and went to KY for a year and did Christian outreach at a RV park . Short version

[@rrrrkoop2776]

This is so cool, do you still RV. my wife and I bought a class C 2 years ago and are getting into enjoying the RV life. not full time but free to take off anytime. we raised 9 kids, all home schooled until 9th or 10th grade then gave them the option to go to public school. 6 of the 9 now work in our family business and we are free to travel.

[@edwhite9290]

Great job of explaining how introduce the fine line. I took a chance teaching my grandson (13) and his friend (12) how to make a bandsaw box.

[@howardtaylorjr.4593]

I've retired from custom cabinet making. Now starting to use up some of my rough cut boards from trees I've harvested over the years. Looking to make cutting boards, charcuterie boards and cheese slicers. Plus I have blanks to make bowls and vases. Ive only made one attempt to make a wavy cutting board, but I didn't overlay the pieces to cut.

[@charliegarst6821]

Use the end cuts for end grain cutting boards. it can be very striking!

[@johnbarneswood]

Absolutely!

[@jonathancastro7355]

I am currently getting ideas to start a small woodworking side hustle this year. I love the curved pattern in the boards. Great idea!

[@patrickewing6425]

This is a great video. It was put together well and was very informative. The last time I took a huge chance in my life was quitting my job and investing in myself. It has been 7 years since doing so. My woodworking business is doing OK. More importantly, I am much better in my health and as a person. Keep those videos coming. They have re-inspired me to do more woodworking projects.

[@kennetha.goodwin336]

Well done. I liked your presentation and your finished product. The last time I took a chance was yesterday. It was my 79th birthday and we went for a five mile run/hike on Mt. Palomar and it was equal parts uphill and downhill-over the chosen course . Since I was the oldest in the group by 10 years, it was “chancey” whether I could keep up.

[@johnbarneswood]

Mt. Palomar is a tough trail! Great job!

[@jamesrivers8724]

Great vid. This will be my first cutting board attempt, a Valentines gift for my wife. Last time a took a chance was putting new brakes on my truck … an hour ago 😅

[@AKGatesway]

Really enjoyed the pace, instruction, and techniques you covered. Very well done! Thanks for taking a chance on us!

[@DaveG-k1b]

I’ve made a few of these. I liked the longer Dimension and cutting them done. Thanks next one I make are be the longer ones. Thanks for the idea

[@mikejohnston8872]

Love the cutting boards. Took a chance with my 2023 HTC Z51 corvette.

[@terrymccarthy2830]

My father would have been 100 years old today. I took a chance and reached out to all my remaining family to celebrate his memory - tears and smiles. The off cut slices are going to be another board, I guess. Cheers Terry

[@johnbarneswood]

I’m glad you took that chance. Thank you so much for sharing. For me, family is always first. Sometimes it’s definitely hard, but I try to keep that in mind.

[@martylowry7540]

Great work...I need to try these and step up my game! Thx

[@michaelkline4800]

You made that look easy. I am going to take a chance and try to make those boards! The last time I took a chance was applying for a promotion last year. It worked out!

[@mike-zk1yn]

Nice video, took a chance and moved to the country, love it.

[@ACBrown-mq4jy]

Loved his approach !

[@jessebergren4011]

Love the boards. I took a chance by starting to build things with wood but always get knocked down about what, how, and outcomes of my builds by my family members in the shop. Cutting Board and furniture.

[@JeremyDurham83]

i like the way you did this video! New subscriber here!

[@johnbarneswood]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@richvalle4343]

Nice video. Liked the process and instructions. Besides trying to redo my garage this is the last time I took a chance by watching your video and commenting 😊. Keep up the good work and videos!!

[@swamprat57]

I took a chance a few weeks ago and bought a bandsaw hoping it would pay for itself. I liked your video and wish you continued success!

[@thomasharmon7800]

Very beautiful thank you for your work

[@kevinw1097]

Really enjoyed the video. I always wondered how the weave was made in those cutting boards. The last time I took a chance was yesterday, decided to try and make a stand for my jointer without plans to go by. I always go by plans or try to stick to them as close as possible. Pieces for a woven end grain board??

[@johnbarneswood]

Thanks Kevin! That’s awesome you created something of your own. It’s fun to take bits and pieces of what we learn over the years and mix them tighter to suite a specific project. Close on the extra credit! It will be for an end grain.

[@johnvatistas6569]

Very nice!!

[@carpinteriayherramientas]

Good to be here you did an awesome work

[@houch7640]

I have a weave board in clamps right now. Wish id seen this video first!

[@ryanbdykes]

Strips for chaos boards.

[@johnbarneswood]

Solid answer

[@Berthelsen1]

Beautiful work !

[@liftoffaviation787]

Wow! Those boards are beautiful! I am a hobbyist woodworker with very little space. Do you think it would be possible to make those with a jigsaw instead of a bandsaw? Thanks again!

[@davidblack8464]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@elizabethsuggs993]

easy to follow. beautiful boards

How did you cut the strips of Padauk? Bandsaw or tablesaw?

[@xmeng21]

EXCELENT WORK! GREETING FROM QUERETARO, MEXICO

[@johnbarneswood]

Thank you!!

[@nudger44]

Hi great work. The last time I took a chance was to change careers from office worker to truck driver. Best thing I did

[@johnbarneswood]

That’s amazing! What’s your favorite part of the new gig? Do you prefer traveling solo or as a team?

[@nudger44]

@@johnbarneswood travelling solo being on my own gives me time to reflex on life and the decision I make. I now look at life in a totally different way

[@BigJeff19999]

Thanks for the video. I like your style and look forward to more of your content. I'm guessing those strips are for stands to display your boards. They are way too nice to actually use!! My big chance is that I recently committed to retiring. Sounds easy, but it's a huge change. The one thing that I'm sure of is more sawdust in my future...

[@johnbarneswood]

Congrats, Jeff! I can see how retirement can be a huge change and a challenge. So many things have to be in order, plus you’re walking away from your career and saying goodbye to coworkers. I hope it’s everything you dreamed of man! You’ll have to update me on your projects

[@andakar121]

Great videos, thank you! I've made a pair of cutting boards with your guidance. They look fabulous with the exception of some gaps between the accent strips and the boards. They're maybe 1/32" or smaller, but definitely noticeable. I haven't oiled the wood yet as I want to close those if possible first. I'm wondering if you have advice on how to fill/mask those gaps. I saw it coming during the glue up and tried to force additional glue in. However, during subsequent planing and sanding the gaps are again visible. Any suggestions?

[@johnbarneswood]

Try mixing a little glue and sawdust that matches one of the woods you’re using at the gap location. You’ll push this into the gap, let it dry for a few hours, and then sand flush. I hope this helps!

[@andakar121]

Yup, I did it and it came out great. Thanks for this tip and the cutting board videos. They are beautiful! I'll be very proud to give these to close friends as special gifts!

[@daveburley7115]

Good instructions. Thanks. Is that a 12” WEN drill press? How do you like it?

[@rrrrkoop2776]

Stunning

[@8466849]

Would a good woven style board be possible with end grain?

[@TAGSlays]

Dead channel bro. I think this guy got busted for Jan 6th.

[@johnmarktarwater7975]

I took a chance on taking a preaching class I wasn’t sure I was capable of or would enjoy. It has been very challenging and I’ve enjoyed learning so much. I wonder if you’re using them for a chaos board or some cool coasters.

[@johnmarktarwater7975]

I just remembered you literally told us at the end of the first video that you would save the pieces for some sick end grain boards!

[@johnbarneswood]

That’s great! Do you think you’ll continue with the preaching classes? And yup! Nailed the guess.

[@johnbarneswood]

You won this episode's giveaway! Please send me an email and I'll get this board out to you.

[@johnmarktarwater7975]

@@johnbarneswood Yeah, I actually only have 3 weeks left in the class!

[@aarong402]

Took a chance and started working on/finishing a 10 slab table top.....My thoughts on the cutoffs are it will be chaos cutting board. Nicely done on the boards btw

[@johnbarneswood]

Sounds heavy! Did you do the milling? I’ve always wanted to cut down a tree and go through the entire process myself

[@aarong402]

@@johnbarneswood I did not do the milling on it. One of my buddies bought 2 large white oak slabs off someone and they were just sitting so I decided I would finish the project. Hopefully be done in a couple weeks

[@michaeldean2053]

Best instructions for one of these boards I have watched. Taking a chance dating my ex-wife again.

[@Robinson67]

Oh and for the strips….for a new board?

[@johnbarneswood]

Yup! Can you guess what kind of board?

[@robbrown6667]

Very nice video.

[@howardmorrison716]

What kind of bandsaw and blade.?

[@johnmclain6535]

If you'd have cut them on the bandsaw a 3rd time would the weave have been even crazier?

[@johnbarneswood]

Oh yeah. It gets better and better. I’ll do another weave video in a couple months where I do 3-5 cuts and mix in at least three base boards

[@mattjd2]

Great video and thanks for the tips. Just subscribed.

[@walter7372]

They are very pretty but its a lot of work and expensive wood to make a flat grain board that will warp and look pretty bad after 6 months of cutting on it. I would want to add a step of cutting strips to put together at least edge grain boards and then the same process. Assembling entire boards of end grain blocks might be a bit much but it sure would be nice. Whatever the grain of the board that ends up being used this is a great project for CNC

[@pathardage1880]

Nice boards.

[@chuckwest2569]

The last "chance" I took was on a person who was looking for employment. This person had zero work experience, and only spoke a foreign language. These made it very difficult for them to find work. We used a translate app for communication. Proudly, one of my best employees! And I learned a little bit of another language.

[@johnbarneswood]

Good on you man! Glad you took a chance on someone, in spite of the communication barrier. What line of work are you in?

[@rrrrkoop2776]

Im sure the give away is over but my life is one chance after another. but at 68 years old my wife and I took ATV's to Glamis sand dunes in California and had a blast.

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

What were your starting dimensions? Very nicely done! Cut offs for chaos board?

[@2tart]

I took a chance last weekend. Made some small wooden Christmas trees😂 nothing professional. I like your content. Looking forward to more cool videos!

[@2tart]

However, I was very happy with the project. 😊

[@danielsawyer5334]

Awesome!

[@HortonvilleHandyAndy]

Took a chance earlier this year and sold my motorcycle to buy better woodworking tools, including a beautiful new 8" Oliver Jointer. I use the tools 10x more than I ever used the bike! I cant wait to see the Chaos board at the end of the series. ;)

The last time I took a chance was a couple weeks ago. My mother-in-law passed away left us a little bit of money. I'm 67 years old and I just got my first shop. My big chance was. I was buying my tools before my shop was built. I love working and Those chopping weren't going to make a beautiful table.

I just took a huge chance last week and quit my 9-5 job to start my own business. It’s a little terrifying and exciting at the same time. Walking away from a six figure salary seems like a pretty big chance don’t you think?
