That is exactly how I feel. There are a few people who can make it look great, but the majority are just copying what the next person does, just changing the colors, to fit in their homes. I would much rather watch thrift flips, but even those are starting to get boring, it just seems like they paint it and add a transfer to it. It is hard to find something unique. I like seeing someone build it with their own hands.

I found that when making my work look aged, i take a handful of gravel, throw it on the driveway, put the piece down on it and walk on it, also taking my feet and dragging it over the gravel.. Works great, and i can make it look as aged and worn as i want, or lightly worn. I used to use a hammer, and icepick, chain, etc...but this does the job better.. Thanks for the great video!

Love this video! I used your ''hammer'' technique on another type of wood project...I didn't have a ''hammer'' at the time I was doing my project,so I used ''two rocks about the size of my hand and one was smooth and was abit ''jagged'' to make ''stress marks'' on my project....came out ''awesome'! I was careful doing this with the rocks in case they broke in my hand..but they worked ''excellent". Next time I'll wear gloves and protected eyewear. I just went out to my garden where we had ''decorated rocks'' so now I guess they have become my "pet rocks". Again,I love your creations!

She uses old Cypress for a lot of hers, and her prices are quite high, but I am not really sure what to do. I have some old wood, but I honestly don't know what kind of wood it is. I am not sure how well these would sell in my area, but it is worth a shot, I guess.

This was a good video. Julie`s Signs and Designs here on KZbin has some great, thorough tutorials on making the bread boards (and so much more) as well. You can free hand the handles or make a pattern to add some variation. When you cut one side of the handle, you can use the part you cut off, flip it and lay it on the other side of your handle, trace with a pencil and it will always be symmetrical. Twine around the handle with a sprig of greenery or florals sell really well to. I'm not sure about what type of wood is needed to make it food safe but I have learned that polycrilic becomes food safe if it cures properly first. I learned that from making lazy Susan's and trays. I'm sure a simple Google search will give us all of the answers on that. I enjoyed the video made after this one as well. I recommend that everyone check it out. The options are as endless as your imagination. If you can make them food safe AND beautiful decor pieces I bet they will sell even better. Thank you for sharing this video. 😊

@@SusanHCooper I actually did some research and you can actually use any type of wood and it will be food safe. People usually prefer hard wood because it doesn't have as deep of cuts. How you finish the board will determine if it is food safe. Also the softer wood could be used more for a charcuterie board but still be food safe. Seal it with mineral oil and beeswax. There are also some water based stains that are food safe.

I was going to comment on the same thing. In general, don't use gloves when using power tools that cut. If the material snags, you can lose digits. I totally get using gloves to hold your project down, though. I'd recommend using clamps for this purpose. The other thing is that while it's great to wear eye protection, you'll probably want hearing protection as well as a dust mask. Especially with salvaged wood, you don't know what you're breathing. Still, cool project. I know these are decorative boards. People really love them!

Where do you sell them? Do you sell them on FB or somewhere online. I have been working on some, and would like to sell them, but I am not sure where to sell them at. I really enjoy these type of videos, giving ideas on what will sell. Thank you. I was going to ask if you put a stencil on them, but I see that you did in the end. Which ones sell better? The plain ones or the ones that have a stencil on them? Also, how do you decide to price them?

What are the sizes you use? What is the minimum width? It is hard to find the wider boards. I've got a lot of pallet wood I'm trying to use but it's all narrow so I'd have to glue a few planks together but if you have ever used pallet wood none of it is straight

As a beginner wood worker I like the channels of Steve Ramsey (wood working for mere mortals) and Colin Knecht (wood work web) very much. They're good teacher and they also have videos on glueing boards together.

Recycled wood is a great idea for DECORATIVE cutting boards. The key word is decorative as in these boards should not be used for direct contact with food unless you are confident they are not contaminated with toxins. Palette wood = contaminated Found wood = contaminated Bleaching is okay for bacteria but does not eliminate toxins or poisons. Please be careful

I've made some cutting boards recently and none of them sold. Do you think they sell better if you paint them and put a sign on them? I tried a few that I left raw wood or just stained and a few that were decor with either glass and resin or a sign. I priced them all low at $25-30.
