[@marthadueck6461]

My husband and I have worked together and done lots of DIY projects for almost 50 years. I design and he builds and finishes.

[@julieallen8125]

You two are just too cute for your own good. Glad I found your channel.

[@jo-annemacahn6614]

I love how you are always reusing and not filling up the landfills and making something beautiful and useful at the same time!

Make a wide board that will span a sink and cut a hole in one end and insert a colander.

[@julianne089]

These remind me of the wooden paddle things they used to get things out if the oven at the Italian restaurant I worked at years ago!

[@tinawynn9417]

OMG!!! These cutting boards are just so beautiful!!!! I love old wood!!!

[@jennygee9849]

such an interesting variety of boards you've made....love your advice that successful marriage is about getting over your "disagreements"...having been married most of my life I would have to agree with you there

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! ❤️❤️

[@dianaeichelberger7163]

Could u show picture of the grinding wheel from harbor don't know what to get. Thanks. Everything looks great so creative!!

[@lizlund7091]

I loveeeee my board!! It sits against my backsplash all the time and people love it!!! Thank you!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice! That’s a great spot for them.

[@sharonstatser3947]

[@rebeccabarr2726]

Those turned out dreamy gorgeous! You never fail to impress!

[@tomfishertheflyingpigvinta5857]

Tip#1-10.....Yes dear!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Truth!

[@bonnie-anglin_art373]

The cutting boards are so cool. You should get a pyrography kit so you can personalize them with initials. Zeb, I’m happy to hear you got a chuck to start turning bowls. I’m sure you’ll love it!

[@JShow78]

Turned out fantastic guys and you are absolutely right, don’t let whatever get you down. I often get in my own head and overthink something that’s really nothing or not about anything going on in my life and I have to remind myself to stop, lol.

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@caroltruitt1403]

You two are so lucky to have each other ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@janiceryan3973]

Wow! Those cutting boards are beautiful.

[@vickiejohnston3686]

Absolutely love you up cycle ideas. Thank you for being you.

[@aprilninthr2886]

I love your channel. Can’t have enough cutting boards. Love the way you utilize old wood instead of wasting it! Looking forward to more videos.

[@montanatempel9788]

I just love these older videos ❤

[@doedoe49]

I love them all ! But that first one you put hemp oil on ,I’m in love it’s Gorgeous. Looks like my over 100 year old rolling pin ,that was whittled by my Great Great Grandfather . It was a wedding Gift ,when my Great Grandmother got married .

[@JamiRayVintage]

What an awesome gift! ❤️❤️

[@jackielucchesi6654]

Zeb you are tooo funny!!!!!!! Jaime you have a great guy there........You two are awesome together!!!!!!! LOve, love the cutting boards...

[@JamiRayVintage]

😊❤️❤️

[@kristycullen8287]

very cool. I also love that you reuse and save items for a new life.

[@karenhills8535]

Beautiful cutting /serving boards. Love that you used the old wood

[@lynnarand2792]

Love this upcycle, reduce and reuse project💛

[@debbiewessig3688]

Go Jami, Go Jami.... Doing great with those tools. LOL I love these cutting boards.

[@pennynewell3459]

I love this. I have a small piece of left over old wood, and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I know.

[@glendagrant9042]

They look great and are almost all profit. Useful and an amazing display in the store. I sadly have a plastic one from Dollar Store. Time to make a step up. I loved the one with just the hemp oil.♥️👍😊

[@kimberlydrake8463]

I’m wondering if you liked the angle grinder for first pass to get sharp edges off before using sanding? I have always used the sander but some projects take quite a bit of time and effort to get them rounded and looking old. How much do you sell the large boards for? Oh my rule for arguing is ask the question “will this matter a year from now?” If not move on👍🏻Thanks for sharing😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Oh yeah. The angle grinder is so fast! When we use the old wood from the farmhouse The large boards sell for around $100.00.

[@sandraschliszio8654]

Those are looking really good. I like the way you make useful things out of leftover materials. You could also make little shelves out of the wood planks and put hooks under them for towels or mugs. Or just a board with hooks as a coat/ hat rack.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

I really appreciate how well y’all work together! God bless y’all and stay safe K

[@brentderksen]

I like, some 1 by 12 would make good pizza paddles too

[@decorizingyourlife]

Oh my gosh. I am making pumpkins instead of cheese boards!! But when I get my wood carving black for my angle grinders look out!!! So love this video!!!!

[@decorizingyourlife]

I meant they look like pumpkins. But I am goi g to work on it!!

[@CherishEaDay]

Love old wood. Nice project.

[@lifesuchasthis3932]

Im obsessed with cutting boards lately those are gorgeous I would keep some of those for your 1917 Farmhouse 😁

[@JamiRayVintage]

We kept two! ZEB STILL HAS TO FINISH OURS. 😂😂

[@vickiegriffin9414]

Love them. Especially love the rounder one.

[@springhernandez7417]

How awesome true vintage wood. These are amazing,always recycle if possible always no waste and easy on the pocket book.

[@virginiaratcliff82]

I really like the cutting board video great gifts. And I was wondering why hemp oil make sense now that you told us.

[@caseytrudeau916]

Love the 20 yr old wood grinder! With that great tool, I'd make a center "well" or depression for making dough (flour piled with a raw egg center, slippery lit'l egg always runs away) and/or individual EGG pockets/craddles for whole eggs so they won't roll away!? Imagine a Big Old Butcher Block Top like the wonderful French butcher shops had - all uneven, worn in the one working spot, with the lowest portion leading the liquids to a catch bucket?! Not practical but so neat and can never find (here in the USA). Have fun!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Casey Trudeau we love the angle grinder for dough bowls. Have you seen our dough bowl video? Zeb actually used two boards to make a dough bowl. It was pretty cool

[@sweethaven1929]

You go Jami girl!!! , you guys work together so well great guy .Wow how beautiful. All the pieces., love the finish you put on.thanks for the tip about hemp oil

[@JamiRayVintage]

Maria thanks!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Boy, that old wood is just beautiful! The new doesn’t compare to me. Love what you’ve done with it! I’ll have to get some of that hemp oil.

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@tammywoods9952]

Your cutting boards are awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juliabutler7823]

I've been wanting to learn this so thank you very much.

[@stanlindert6332]

Just went down to the lake and found a couple of drift boards. Thanks for the inspiration

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice!

[@kathrynmalloy6286]

Love these!! Question- with these being cutting boards, do you have to reseal them after a certain period as you painted them? Just wondering how they hold up to being washed and what care/upkeep tips to give my customers ☺️

[@JamiRayVintage]

Kathryn Malloy they hold up well to washing. Treat them like a butcher block, they may need re-oiled after awhile.

[@billiemitchell2236]

Awesome upcycle, I especially love all the unique shapes. Reminds me of those big wood bowls you have.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Oh my goodness, that wood is so beautiful, and so glad you are reusing it!! ♥️ I have so many offcuts in my Jenga room (it's a bit like playing the wood toppling game getting anything out!), but never thought to make a butcher block with some of the thicker bits..next project!! 😁

[@JamiRayVintage]

That would be fun!

[@ruthhooperjournals]

These are awesome! Thank you for sharing how to make them.

[@lisacolwell7844]

I'm going into my own business and I can't wait to do this

[@mandybewkes5300]

Loved all of them, what a fab idea!

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️❤️ thanks Mandy!

[@theturnedleg]

Love this video and tool 101. I could totally make this. You give me so much confidence and inspiration and take the scare out of the tools. Thank you so much!!!

[@lindacard6662]

I have lots of wood I could do this with. Thanks for the great idea!

[@willothewispl]

How nice those came out.

[@justdi3347]

Great video! I love this “how to” make cutting boards. I’m sitting here at the Georgia Welcome Center eating my lunch on my way to Florida from North Carolina. What a fun rest stop ♥️♥️🦋

[@JamiRayVintage]

Safe travels!

[@colleenhaithcock216]

[@RinaMeyers]

SUPER love this video guys! Thank you so much, looks pretty easy and certainly lucrative!

[@GCgirl67]

Brilliant! I am definitely going to try this 😍

[@msmayree]

Fantastic idea!!! Thanks for sharing such great ideas to reuse. 😍

[@joannenardoni17]

You are so talented, very nice

[@kimberlydrake8463]

Sounds like need one of those! We have a lot of old barn wood even has red and White chippy paint... hate sanding it all off🙈 I guess pick the ones with no paint... I have hemp oil going to have to try that.. thanks😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

Just need a small section with no paint. 😊

[@amymitchell7715]

Oh you guys have no idea how much I love you right now! I have been trying to find more natural up cycled rustic pieces to put in my store and this is 1000000% Exactly on the money of what I have been looking for! I haven't gotten a chance to use my new grinder And I have a ton of salvage wood so I cannot wait to make some Salvage Awesomeness!! ❤❤ Also see you guys are so adorable this was hands down an amazing video in every way!👏👏👍👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Amy Mitchell can’t wait to see what you make!

[@friedaschnell6887]

Yeah you can make things look old. But you can't beam history into a piece. That's the best part of all.

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

WOW... those are nice!!! Great job you 2!

[@pcox5386]

Loved the video! May I ask the approximate length/width of the cutting boards made. I did not hear that mentioned on the video. Thanks!

[@JamiRayVintage]

11x38”

[@paulabhatt8211]

Wow really informative video thank you so much love love these breadboards ❤️❤️❤️

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I love these boards

[@GGC2019]

Could you please show and tell me the type/brand blade you are using in the angle grinder you got from harbor freight? I love your videos!!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s a wood carving wheel/disk for an angle grinder. I get mine at harbor freight.

[@SableSunsets]

Wow love it y’all are genius, y’all give me so much inspiration!!

[@carolewhite4659]

All gorgeous!!! Thanks for all the tips😀

[@janecaccioppo1050]

Oh I love all of these!

[@mayratello2694]

Great DIY

[@tiffanyjohnson3110]

Not being a critic but Jami, you had be holding my breath when you were going hard with the angle grinder. I have all the power tools but those freak me out a little. One day I'll get past my fear. Beautiful work!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

The angle grinder is hard because it torques down and can twist in your hand. Thank goodness for safety release switches!

[@nancywagoner8330]

Do you first wash the wood after you sand before adding the hemp oil? If the wood is old,seems it may hold alot of dirt inside the cracks? I Love this video...and the boards are so pretty!f Thankyou!

[@joannehopesLife_After_40]

These are gorgeous! I loved the tips too!

[@RinaMeyers]

What is another type of stain that would be food safe if you dont have milk paint?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Tea stains or coffee stains work well.

[@debralpateart8862]

Thank you for all this info. I just picked up a pile off curb, off cuts from a stair redo. Wood 1x 10-12s Do you have any other suggestions of use for the wood? I have a circular and jig saw, drill, need to get a grinder.

[@JamiRayVintage]

We use scrap wood for signs, totes, display risers, candlesticks, all sorts of things.

[@lindaklesmith1076]

Fantastic tips and ideas! 👍 I always enjoy watching your videos because they’re so inspiring. Thank you 😊

[@JamiRayVintage]

[@laurenmartone]

Zeb, what kind of blade did you use on your grinder and where did you get it?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s a wood carving disk and I get mine at harbor freight.

@@JamiRayVintage I looked online at the Harbor Freight grinder wheels and I couldn't find it. Maybe you could show us a picture of it?!

[@lindarochell8550]

Do you have to use a certain type of wood ex. Oak, walnut? I have lots of scrap wood but not sure what kind it is. Thank you.

[@JamiRayVintage]

This is pine, any wood will work. If it’s oak or walnut all the better! 😊❤️

[@teresabolton7821]

Any suggestions on cleaning the cutting boards, is it ok to dip in running water, I'm wanting to make some for myself...

[@JamiRayVintage]

They can be washed normally just like a regular wood cutting board. If you’re using them a lot you may need to reapply the hemp oil eventually.

[@teresabolton7821]

@@JamiRayVintage what do u think of using bee's wax, i have a friend that bought bee's wax while we were on a girls weekend trip to ellijay Ga. at a craft show, she said she was going to put it on her cutting boards, is that safe

[@teresabolton7821]

She bought a one pound bag of bee's wax for $1.00 from a man who was there selling his honey

[@kimpaynter]

I have to ask how do you care for a piece after use ???

[@JamiRayVintage]

Kim Paynter soap and water. Clean as you normally would wash a cutting board.

[@lisaearman2880]

How often do you have to add the hemp oil to the boards?

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not often. If they get dried out you may want to reapply but they should be fine for a long time.

[@missystitcher6366]

Love them

[@lindeehopkins6439]

These are awesome!

[@HHeirloomIA]

Hello, I have made these and LOVE the old wood ones. However, i used zinc sweet pickins on the new wood and I am not thrilled with them. If I'm not, then they probably won't sell. What tips might you have for the new boards. The zinc came out more green on the new boards. Can I mix sweet pickins and farmhouse together??

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yes, they mix well.
