Hi Brad. Your video on making high-end cutting boards is excellent. I am an experienced amateur woodworker who is now retired who has decided to finally make things to sell. After considering (and trying several ideas) I have settled on cutting boards and other ideas related to cooking which is my other passion. Thanks for your clear instructions. Frank in NC

Rather curious why you didnt put finger grooves in the end of the board. Helps to move it when hands are wet and helps break any suction that occurs between the board and counter due to moisture. Very nice looking board.

Here in South Africa, people buy them and display them in the kitchen, and use them to serve only on special occasions, a few times a year. Even then, the cutting is done beforehand on a utility board made out of bamboo, or even one of the plastic composites! A few just hack them to shreds and come back for more, which is also good (for my bank balance)! :)

What do you need to look for in the timber you select for your cutting board? I have a slice of very nice timber at home but it's too small to do anything significant with. I could, however, make a few cutting boards with it, but I have no idea if the wood is suitable. I've seen it used as flooring, so surely if it can withstand that, I'm good to go right?

I recommend sanding before you do your edge treatment. When sanding with a hand held tool it's impossible to be perfectly uniform. As such whenever you hit the edges you'll create a variance on the treatment. This is especially visible with such a small round over bit as you're using.

I presume this method can be used when making table tops too, is there anything to be wary of when mixing different woods? I'm wondering about different rates of expansion and contraction that may occur. That walnut looks fantastic.

Sure, you could use the same methodology with a larger glue up. Rates of expansion with different boards won't matter as long as you account for it with the method you attach your top. And thanks!
