Good call on splitting the strips, it made such a difference. Thanks for sharing.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Absolutely! Crazy how much of a difference it made.

[@KeriCarterOriginal_art]

Love, love, love your work!! I’m in the beginning of my woodworking journey, and thankful for all your helpful tips!

[@bryandraper8347]

You have sincerely inspired me to try and build an end grain cutting board. I'm sure its hard enough to build an end grain cutting board, but to also film it, edit it, and narrate it... that's a lot of work!! Thank you for all the work you put into your video productions. You're cutting boards are works of art!!! I also love how you showcase the beautiful natural scenery around where you're shop is. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks for the comments and feedback! There is a lot of work that goes into each video but I really want to help pass along any info that may help the next builder, such as youself, that keeps me motivated! I wish you all the best on your future woodworking endeavors!

[@darthbaker820]

[@terryripperger7727]

I have viewed several videos on different cutting boards you make. I would love to know the dimensions of your boards.. this one tells some of that but others such as the sunset doesn’t.

[@bernieluciow8085]

Beautiful! And very informative. I notice you don’t use cauls on the edge of the cutting board while the glue is setting up. Is this ever a problem for you?

[@thewoodplank4376]

It's really never been a problem, if you have a few pieces that are bowing up or down then they can help but otherwise I apply slow even clamping pressure to keep things from shifting.

[@vinimarshall7301]

How do you know the right preasure when clamping .im worried about leaving a glue line or squeezing out too much glue and it breaking in half after a couple of months

[@thewoodplank4376]

I get the clamps tight enough to where you can't wiggle them, If your not sure, I would lean on the side of over tight.

[@lisavaldespino393]

what are you using for the wax? and is there a benefit to the mineral oil bath as opposed to just wiping it on? Beautiful boards - and your house and property look amazing!

[@thewoodplank4376]

Hey there! I've found when working with endgrain its best to soak the board versus wiping it, you want to let the oil really saturate the middle. Working with face grain or edge grain wiping is sufficient. I make my own board wax using a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil.

[@boggi1234]

Так просто и очень красиво.супер.

[@johncook3181]

I feel that every time i watch a video of yours i see different blades in your table saw for each shot. How many different table saw blades do you actively use?

[@thewoodplank4376]

Good eye! I use an Amana tool crosscut blade, a CMT ripping blade, and a Freud Combo blade. I've been really pleased with all three and if your interested I've put links in the description of the video.

Another ausome board ❤ When are we going to see knew content ?

[@hughjair133]

Beautiful board! Do you need to use the router sled if you have a drum sander though?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I do, usually after the router sled the board needs to be smoothed out, a drum sander helps although you could use a belt sander. Endgrain makes you work for it!!

[@lawrencelunsford6028]

Awesome job once again! I've only made six cutting boards, made my first end grain board this weekend using walnut, cherry and (I think?) soft maple. The edge grain boards I've made had good contrast between the different woods. The maple on the end grain board is darker (grayish?) and not as much contrast as I was expecting. Guess I need to get some hard maple? I've recently subscribed, enjoy your content. Thanks for your efforts. :)

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks for the Sub Lawrence, I hope you find the channel helpful and resourceful. I would steer away from using soft maple on a cutting board and use hard maple instead, its way more durable and will stand the test of time (although I do understand its more difficult to obtain).

[@Баркас-м8й]

красивая доска . молодцом

[@XxKevin79xX]

I just come across your channel and I’d say you do some beautiful work. But I’m wondering why do you put the feet on before you oil the board or are you taking them off before you oil it?

[@thewoodplank4376]

Very observant, I add them before the oil mainly so I know the bottom is 100% complete. I don't like to tamper with it after the oil, I also like to know beforehand how the board is going to sit on the countertop ( double check there is no wobble) and I like to use the feet to aid in the drying process. I can take it out of the oil bath and then sit it right on the countertop to dry, you really don't want to put a wet board flat on a surface, keeping airflow air underneath is important.

[@XxKevin79xX]

@@thewoodplank4376 yeah I make boards as well so know airflow under the board is important. I would have thought that the oil would soak into the rubber and potentially make them slick.

[@daveklein2826]

Awesome

[@thewoodplank4376]

🙌

[@iroman68]

Excellent board! How long do you leave your boards soaking in the oil? Thank you.

[@thewoodplank4376]

I normally soak each board for 5-10 minutes, let them dry and then repeat. Endgrain can get thirsty!

[@PaulSmith-fg8sz]

Do you ever use purple heart in your boards? Very nice work, by the way.

[@thewoodplank4376]

I've personally never had the opportunity to get my hands on some but I think it would work well certain designs, maybe one day.

[@jamcfarland9176]

Great work, have one question, where did you get your branding iron?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I believe it was the Custom Brand Shop, its was a few years back when I had it made.

[@jenniferallen9201]

New subscriber here and I love your work! Do you have any plans for your flattening jig? I put a few end grain through my planer before I realized that wasn't super safe. I do very shallow passes, but now I'm nervous lol. And your jig for attaching feet. if that was available on your website, I'd totally buy it

[@thewoodplank4376]

I've had a lot of requests for a video on the flattening jig, and I hope to make that soon. Its funny you asked about the cutting board foot jig, I was thinking of making a small batch avaliable for sale. If you want to give me a follow on Instagram I'll post any updates on those, thanks for the support!

[@bobbyvisconti6769]

What is the wax product you put on? Is it softened before you use it?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I make a Beeswax/mineral oil wax, works great and food safe.

[@bobbyvisconti6769]

@UC_ALhpYChwFnm2WOrusO5why does your look so soft. Do you heat it up first?

[@mroozendaal]

I haw a million cutting board videos and made a couple myself. In almost all the use is cauls is mentioned and that this is very important. I see you don’t use these. Is that because you will sand after the first glue and flatten after the second? I always use them but I find it rather cumbersome sometimes and it is still not 100% flat. If I could do without the cauls that would make it easier. I use pipeclamps to the underside is flat anyway. Thanks for you advise.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Hello! I would definitely recommend using cauls and find it to be an important step. I only use them on the endgrain glue up, the reason for using cauls is to help apply even pressure across the end of the board. They don't do much for keeping things flat but more for strength and dispersing even pressure.

[@mroozendaal]

@@thewoodplank4376 ok thank you. Thanks for the tip on using cauls with the final glue-up.I actually meant the cauls that I would need to put under and on top to ensure the board stays flat.

[@thewoodplank4376]

@@mroozendaal Gotcha! Your right I don’t use those as much on my builds, I find I can Keep things flat just by clamping slowly and evenly. Double checking along the way to make sure nothing slipped up or down.

@@thewoodplank4376 thank you. I will try that as well.

Is poplar ok to use for cutting boards

[@thewoodplank4376]

I wouldn't recommend poplar for a cutting board, its a little to soft of a wood.

[@steveabbas5416]

What do you use to finish it? Looks amazing

[@thewoodplank4376]

I make a 3:1 beeswax/mineral oil combo. It really brings the board to life and its an easy way to keep them maintained.

[@steveabbas5416]

@@thewoodplank4376 so that’s what you pour over it? Then do u rub straight beeswax into it at the end? Thank you for the reply! Beautiful boards. I’m trying one with wenge and Purple Heart right now.

"8/4 hard maple puts up a fight every time." You need more HP and a Glue Line Rip by Freud.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Definitely more HP, but I've actually been happy with my CMT rip blade. There was some added pressure in this board that contributed to it binding.
