Live Edge Serving Boards

These unique live edge serving boards are fun to make and always turn heads. Figured cherry with some maple bowties is one of my favorite combinations.

They sure turned out looking great!

Thanks, pal! It’s hard to keep your hands off them in person. So smooth!

[@johnjss]

Bruce, those came out relay nice

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Great boards!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks, guys!

[@JamesMadeKY]

I like all the bow ties. Super cool way to use some material up.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks, James! I like how they turned out.

[@scottshawwoodworking1752]

Love the serving boards and yes to the craft fair videos

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! Ok, great! I’ll look to do a follow up video

[@CrossCutCreations]

Those look awesome, Bruce. Great work!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! I love how organic and unique they are

[@daigleswoodshop5159]

Those look great! Quality content as always!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Very much appreciate that!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Bruce! 😃 They turned out great! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BruceAUlrich]

Aw, shucks. Thank you!

[@matthewreitz9054]

A craft fair video would be great!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Noted! Thanks for the feedback

[@nywoodworx]

Love the contrast between the base and the Dutchmen and always a great video sir 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks! It is my favorite combo recently with maple to be inlaid into some nice cherry.

[@MultiHippie13]

Definitely love to see some craft show content. Especially how to find local ones and what items you're going to take that you think will sell well.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Noted! I think I'll have to make a follow-up video about that

[@tonyblanco305]

@@BruceAUlrich Absolutely. Either one video discussing prep and expectations combined with your results, or multiple videos broken down however you see fit. Craft shows are definitely something I would like to get into and your perspective on before and after would be very appreciated. Thanks so much. And the boards are gorgeous of course!

[@bytesizedengineering]

I like hearing about the craft show stuff whether it's here or in your podcast. I won't likely ever sell anything at one, but it's fun to hear about the business side of woodworking.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks for the feedback! You mean you won't make a homemade laser and then sell it at a craft show? ha ha. I hear ya. I like the business side of it too.

[@cardinalwoodworks]

They turned out really nice, great work. Earned a sub!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Well, thanks for that! I appreciate it

[@ACNailedIt]

Really liked the way you told the story in this video Bruce. And I'm definitely interested to hear more about your craft show experience. Tips and hints would be great to hear, and things you wish you'd done vs things you'll do (or not do?!) next time!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much, bud! I will be doing a follow-up video about my experience at the craft show for sure. There has been a lot of interest.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Those came out so beautiful! Yeah I like the small one too, kinda funky, but all three are awesome!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Who knew that runt would turn into the favorite! Thanks for checking it out.

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

They came out great Bruce! Yes, I would like to see more about the fair life.

[@BruceAUlrich]

I’ll have to go into that a bit more. Thanks, Mike!

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

@@BruceAUlrich Thank you, I have a craft fair in a few weeks. Trying not to let my taste influence what I build.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Yeah, that’s a tough part. We all have things that we like and it’s hard not to just build that

[@mark_loveless]

Craft show video please! These turned out great, very inspiring.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Hey thanks, Mark! Ok...looks like an overwhelming vote for doing a craft fair video.

[@jimdfwwoodworks37]

Yes do the craft fair video

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@mcmathwoodworks]

I agree! I think it is definitely a curiosity among makers... I’ve been considering taking some stuff to one next year!

[@BruceAUlrich]

@@mcmathwoodworks Well, I'm not expert on them, but I can definitely give my opinion. I'm an expert in that. ;)

[@Dramagal0912]

I definitely want to hear more about what you do to prepare for craft shows and how you did at yours. I'm in full swing preparing for mine and love to see what other people do for theirs.

[@BruceAUlrich]

For sure! I'm not expert on craft shows, but I can talk about my experience and how it all went for me. I am an expert in my opinion. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@devencord]

Hey Bruce, I like this kind of video very much. Good job! An of course I would like to get more information and experience about the weekend.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Hey thanks, Deven! Appreciate that. Ok, good to know you want more information. Seems like that's the consensus. I'll have to put together a follow-up video. Thanks for letting me know!

[@sandmanwooddesign]

These came out great Bruce! Keep up the good work. I love how you used the onefinity to flatten one side

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! Yeah, that machine made quick work of it. I like how you can manually jog the machine for that type of thing.

[@sandmanwooddesign]

@@BruceAUlrich I never thought about doing it that way at all. I haven’t even attempted to see if I can manually move my new machine with the spindle on. Time will tell. I’ll definitely try this in the future

[@BruceAUlrich]

@@sandmanwooddesign Did you get the wireless joystick? If not, I can link you to the same one on Amazon. That's where I got it.

[@Wordsnwood]

Wow, that Cherry is very bright red! Brighter than what I usually see. Turned out great, Bruce. Sure, tell us about the fair. I have never sold at a fair, so I'm always curious about what people buy, and the mechanics of it.

[@BruceAUlrich]

I don’t know if it was all of the figure in it or what, but yeah, it is very red. Ok, noted. I’ve had some interest so I guess I’ll be making a follow up video.

[@rockinkcreations127]

I too would like to see some thoughts and prep leading up to the craft show. I'm planning to do my first one as well.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Noted! I'll be putting one together from the looks of it.

[@deogloriawoodworks]

Great video as always! Please do the craft fair video…I’m going to 7-8 of them this season but always looking for ideas/experiences from others.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! Wow...that's quite a lot. I'll do another video telling about my experience. I'm no expert about these, but I can share what I went through.

[@lumberdad]

Whew.. that grain. Couldn’t really tell then… BAM! OIL! Lol. Great piece to find. I’d kill for that for $40 around me lol. 😅 I heard a little about the craft show on the latest WBAT, but I’m always down for another video.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Yeah, I have two more pieces like this one that I can do some other stuff with. I also paid $40 for each of those. Thanks for the vote for a follow-up video.

[@mikeeldridge637]

I would like to see more about them.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ok, good to know!

[@goali3903]

Great video Bruce! I’d love to see some craft show content. Products/display/financial breakdown. Would you say that finish is similar use to the finish which shall not be named?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Yes, I would say that. Ha ha. But I actually liked the way this looked slightly more. Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I’ll do a follow up video

[@goali3903]

@@BruceAUlrich Cool. I’ve been looking for an alternative since the other one ran out so I’ll have to give this a try. Good timing with the deal!

[@martycole324]

Hi Bruce, enjoyed this video. Would you mind sharing your feeds, speeds and depth of cut info for flattening the boards on the onefinity CNC? I have been briefly experimenting on this with burn marks. I'm thinking I need to increase the feed rate as I've slowed the router speed as much as I think i can and not burn out the motor. Thanks.

[@BruceAUlrich]

I don't know that info, because I typically do the flattening manually. I have a handheld joystick with the OneFinity and I just jog it back and forth manually. That being said, I would say you're right. If it is burning, you might need to run it a little faster.

[@fosteredwoodworks]

Those look incredible! How well did those sell at the show?

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! They didn't sell at all at the show! ha ha. I'm so disappointed. They got lots of looks and feels, people picked them up, but never pulled the trigger. Not sure why. I had them priced kind of high, because of how much work went into them, so maybe that was it.

[@fosteredwoodworks]

@@BruceAUlrich oh dang! I was thinking of doing several of those since folks around here are always selling cutting boards.

[@BruceAUlrich]

​@@fosteredwoodworks Well, there's nothing to say they won't sell for you. I got a ton of looks at them, but at this show, nobody bought really high end stuff from me. If you could be faster making them, you could probably feel comfortable selling them at a cheaper price point. That might work.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

I am curious as the price you asked for these cutting boards to cover your various costs IE the wood, sanding and time bowties, travel to the fair, and time at the fair.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Hey John, great questions. I was asking $150 for these (maybe less for the smaller one), which I thought was a reasonable price for what they are. Nobody purchased one. They got a lot of looks, but that was at the higher price point of stuff I had there, so maybe that was why. I had about $13 in the wood for each of these, so add in some time for sanding and adding the bow ties, there was a lot of margin there.

First!
