You Won’t Believe This Charcuterie Board | Black Cherry Burl and Purple Resin Magic

[@PohlBarnProductions]

WOW you must be spying in my shop, I just had the same issue with my Metering pump only on the hardener side, just told Kristy about it this week too, great looking board Ken ! thumbs us as always

[@MoonpieCreations]

Now you know damn well If it happens, it happens to both of us. 😂

[@pamr.5954]

Gorgeous! I love the purple and black mixed.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@qapla]

Nice save, Ken. It's always satisfying when you don't let the task beat you. That board came out looking good! I'm going to remember that tape trick for applying the resin finish ... thanks.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks 👍. I'm pretty sure it did beat me. lol took four months I think.

[@billc.6381]

Beautiful! I’m glad you tell people how long doing these types of projects take and how much work goes into them. Also 5 minutes 😂

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much!

Nice come back - it turned out amazing!!!

Beautiful 😍.....but tbh my heart skipped a beat when you said you were gonna "throw it out", what a fantastic salvage!

beautiful!!! also thankyou for showing a REAL resin wood project! and how it almost always goes! lol! im so happy you were able to fix the goofys! lol. ive been ploaying with the idea of incorperating moving water under resin in some of my wood projects and that goof with only the harder? being added brought back the memory of my idea lol thankyou for that too! lol i have ancient joshua tree wood! hard as a rock its so old! but adding a waterfall with a river of water under resin i think will pretty awesome!

[@MoonpieCreations]

That is a pretty cool idea. I hope it works out good.

Ken, Perseverance pays off, it turned out nice. It would have been interesting with the hardener level left a clear void with an empty layer, if the top layer got hard.Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video

Great work. Love your videos, Ken. My sons (5 and 7) always ask for "Mr Moon" videos! Btw, you mean acetone, not acetate, right?

Haha, don't judge my word mess up. I was lucky to even get this video out. 😂Tell your boys hey for me.

[@coralmarinesresinart]

This is just gorgeous. FYI, total boat has an epoxy calculator that helps me a lot.

[@jackstrange186]

Awesome work. It was hard to hear to when those flames went flying.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes it was. I realized I fail to lower the volume after I posted. lol

[@pattifloyd135]

I really like this one! Sometimes it's the mistakes that make the most beautiful work. What would have happened if you just quit? Thank goodness that's not your style! I love the way it looks like water flowing 20:16

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@trolleyproblem7195]

Really nice result, if not a smooth road getting there. Just a thought about mis-calculated resin volumes: since the wood was already coated in resin, you could have used water to get the precise volume, no tape measure or calculator required.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Water is always tricky. I could have used rice or sand though.

[@2Cambell]

This is fabulous!!! It looks exquisite (I'm picturing mine, right now!) but I'm wondering about my knives performance with the resin, over time?

[@MoonpieCreations]

As much as these cost, I'm not sure you want to do anything with knives on them. It's more of a serving platter and Display piece.

[@mikebass823]

What planet is that. I'd like to try and fish that river. Great job. 👍👍👍👍😎

[@MoonpieCreations]

Moontopia. 😂

[@amycagle5793]

I love it! That floating camber is so cool! (No idea how to spell it, but the inverted ramp on the sides)

[@MoonpieCreations]

Chamfer?

[@amycagle5793]

@@MoonpieCreations yes

[@pedrothewise2584]

stunning , is it purely for serving? might it scratch. its too good to touch.

[@MoonpieCreations]

It is just for serving. The resin hardens fairly well so as long as the new owner doesn't use a knife on it it should be okay.

[@waterlilly62lori]

You can use liquid latex on the backside edges to keep resin from building up

[@seantonnesen1636]

Beautiful board Ken. I have a large cherry burl that I have been saving for a special project and this is what I have been waiting for. What size and brand is the mold that you used in the video.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I got it from Jeff Mack Designs online. jeffmacksupply.com/en-us/collections/shop-all-resin-epoxy-molds/products/rectangle-no-seal-resin-molds-epoxy-resin-forms?variant=42066276581573

[@normagene514]

Wow…that was a lot of hard work with some serious disappointment. Glad you were able to correct the resin issue. Very nice result in the end. What were the dimensions? Also it looked really heavy. If you mentioned it I musta missed it. 😊

[@MoonpieCreations]

17" x 12" x 1.5" I did fail to mention the size.

[@paulmaz8141]

Try sealing the wood with modge podge before putting on the top coat. It seals the wood so there are no bubbles

[@MoonpieCreations]

I sealed the wood with resin, just had some larger wholes and gaps that the resin fills into causing dimples.

[@ricknelson5493]

I may be incorrect but I think it would have bee very cool to have each of those two pcs. of cherry split into sister/book ends and then made into a char board. it's GORGEOUS don't mistake me please, I just think one could have made more use of that much beautiful wood

[@MoonpieCreations]

I could have. Bu the customer asked for a thicker board. In the end it was only 1.5" thick.

[@aam50]

First: 10/10 for tenacity. I must admit, had that happened to me with the hardener, I would have given up at that point and reluctantly started again Second: I wonder if you've stumbled upon a really interesting technique here to cast resin with pockets that could subsequently be filled with something else. I'm thinking lava lamp? Third: It's acetone surely? Or is that just a british thing?! Great video

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thanks, it is Acetone

[@Curly_Maple]

ethyl acetate?

[@MoonpieCreations]

@@Curly_Maple Not sure what's going on I did talk to text on the answer. It should have said Acetone.

[@chrisgiftshop3127]

Another gorgeous board. Is this the one you sent the clip of to me a while back? What amount of acitate did you mix with that 50/50? Shoot you a message soon.

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes sure was. You mix the resin and put 50% of acetone and 50%resin

[@SheepdogTV]

looks great! Why no vac pot for the resin bubbles before you pour?

[@MoonpieCreations]

Really don't need to do it with the fathom and the table top it's just quicker and easier to use the torch.

[@paintcandan5972]

real purdy

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you

[@lindacsmith13]

it's funny, I was thinking you seemed so calm about the hardener mishap but then said you pounded on the wood to relieve your frustration. That make more sense for you!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Haha, I have been doing so good with my anger. The next project video up it plagued with issues and I just roll with them.

[@lindacsmith13]

@@MoonpieCreations I never think you are over the top about it. It makes you who you are. I think rolling with it is better for our blood pressure! take care

[@horsetuna]

I was thinking that under the clear coat, the texture on the blue part might make it look like a river or something. Rapids etc

[@MoonpieCreations]

It really did.

[@carolinadesign199]

What did you seal the wood with before using the epoxy

[@MoonpieCreations]

I used a 50/50 mix of TotalBoat 2:1 and Acetone.

[@brianboden2672]

Enjoyed watching you video! What was the final thickness of this board? You mentioned this one was extra thick in the video, what do you typically shoot for on a charcuterie board?

[@MoonpieCreations]

The resin ones usually come out at about 1" to 1.25". This one was 1.5". But it was also 18"x14". They are usually 16"x12".

[@brianboden2672]

@ thank you for the response, I just started experimenting with the hybrid charcuterie board and was thinking I should sort for something a little thicker than what I was doing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

@@brianboden2672 I make smaller boards too. About 5"x10" and 1/2" thick. Check my videos. I made some out of resin and coffee beans.

[@noahstanden8412]

Where did you buy your mould from, wanting to do some boards of my own and needing a mould. Tia

[@MoonpieCreations]

I am so sorry I missed this comment. I got it from Jeff Macks designs jeffmacksupply.com/en-us

[@Andruha_cheboksarskiy]

Hi, friend! I am writing through google translator. You can make a transparent cup for the kitchen, and at the bottom there are honeycombs with real honey and a few dead bees. (Specially, of course, you don’t need to kill, but I think there are such people in any apiary). I think it will be very nice!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you so much.

[@sherrysisler511]

WOW, amazing!! What type of acetate are you using to mix with the resin to seal the board, i.e ethyl or sodium acetate? Also, do you mix it 1:1 with the epoxy mixture?

[@MoonpieCreations]

It's Klean Strip Fast To Dissolve Acetone from Lowes. I use a 1:1 mix to seal the wood.
