I hope to be as good as you one day, at making end grain boards. I'm getting pretty good, but your knowledge of how to make patterns, and all that, is unmatched in the woodworking community.

[@thewoodplank4376]

I appreciate the kind words! It's all about building as much as you can, reading the grain and dialing in your process. Also creating for you and not necessarily what someone else is going to like, of course that's always an added benefit. Happy sawdust making 🦾

[@dalepage5511]

Jacob, I have watched several of your videos and wanted you to know that you're probably the best in making patterns with the end grain, rather than just gluing pieces together. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I love padauk.

I’d agree 😊

Pretty board, man. I’d actually have a hard time putting a knife to that. In my home, it probably would be displayed in the kitchen or the living room as a piece of art.

[@nickdoney4531]

I have made a number of end grain boards, two different patterns, for my family. A total of 9 boards. Mine is the only one that has been touched by a knife. All the others are on display in the various kitchens. I freaked one sister out when I had her board on the counter and asked her for a sharp knife. I wouldn't have actually done it, it's her board. I'm pleased they are so happy with them.

Today I ordered walnut and padauk wood. Hopefully in 2 weeks I have finished my end grain cutting board of walnut and padauk.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thats great!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[@ToddCubFan1]

I absolutely LOVE this board and I’d love to try to replicate it as much as possible. I think I can get the dimensions of one of the boards when you put the tape measure up next to one of the boards. But even with relative dimensioning I can’t get the widths that make up the second board. You don’t know them do you? It would help me out a lot to recreate this whole cutting board. You are truly a craftsman.

[@Whiskeywoodworks]

First off…. Man I just came across your channel…. And I’m in awe….these videos are awesome for a small maker like myself! Quick question sir, When u made the initial glue ups of both panels…. How king are they… and how king is the overall board after final glue up?

[@cindykiefnerthecoppertorch7789]

If you only had space for either a drum sander or a planer, which would you choose?

[@jumpingjacks5558]

I like your choice of wood combination. The only problem would be with the Padauk. As it ages, it turns more brown and it loses that "pow" factor when you have it with other woods.

[@chrisbruckner1554]

Dude...you are doing some excellent work. Would love a video of your shop and the different things you have there. Loved to see you kid, dog, and the area surrounding your shop. Beautiful! One question. Never seen someone use the planer as a jointer the way you do. How "successful" is that technique for getting straight 90 degree sides? Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks for the kind words! My enviroment definitely lends itself to the work I produce, nature always keeps me connected and inspired! Ive had good luck using the planer as a jointer, I try and cut my strips a little long to allow for any snipe but otherwise its great way to get a clean edge. You just want to make sure your workpiece is close to 90 beforehand, and don't stick a wonky piece through, hope that helps and thanks for watching!!

[@carycleland9506]

Very nice. If only paduak stayed this color. The old stuff in my shop isn’t far from the color of the black walnut

[@thewoodplank4376]

No doubt it will eventually turn very dark, at least it can be brought back anytime if you feel like sanding it.

[@gregeverhart5179]

Like the board and design. I noticed the length and width of the boards when first glued up were 27x12.5. Can you provide the width's of the walnut and padauk individual pieces? I like the contrast of the walnut and padauk, and might try a board with walnut and maple as well. Thanks.

[@divious718]

Congrats on 100 Subs! i enjoyed helping you along the way!

[@thewoodplank4376]

[@johnheath8584]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video!! I’m just starting on my journey of woodworking. So much to learn for sure. Where does a beginner like myself find lumber for making these types of projects? My problem is finding seasoned wood. Should it be Kiln dried or can lumber be used that has been stacked for a period of time? Thanks for sharing this very impressive video.

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks John! With cutting boards you want to only use "hardwoods" like walnut, maple, cherry, and ash. I would do a google search of Harwood suppliers near you and see what comes up, the wood should always be kiln dried. The other option is to shop online, you can even order cutting board kits. All the best on your woodworking journey!!

[@HGANGHONY]

Nice work

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks!!

[@Kurt9099]

For anyone asking for sizes of each board prior to gluing, I believe he is not saying because he probably doesn't want you to make the exact same one. It doesn't really matter anyway, you can make them any size and it will still turn out great, just difefrent. Once you make one, you will see what I mean. Then you can start to plan them so they turn out similar to what you have in your head.

[@alfonso620]

Good morning, first of all I wanted to tell you that I miss your videos, which are exceptional. I also wanted to ask you if it is possible to know the measurements of the padouk and walnut strips that make up the two boards. I hope to see some of his videos soon, which are a source of inspiration. Good bye.

[@robertyack1661]

Just found your channel. Wow. Just wow. So admire. Im gonna try to emulate your artistry and skill. May I ask...how much can you sell that work of art for? Honestly, would anyone actually cut on that? Its gorgeous, lol

[@mattsandy2047]

Looks great. I am having a problem in that the padauk is constantly secreting oils to the surface. I can constantly wipe off orange residue. Do you have this issue with padauk and if so how do you handle that?

[@waynenelson8907]

BEAUTIFUL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL:))

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thank you so much!

[@Progettodinizio2020]

Salve, bellissima realizzazione, stupendo l accoppiata dei colori dei legni, specialmente il paddock che con il suo rosso riempie tutto. Spettacolare. Sarebbe interessante il link, dove poter acquistare quella essenza di legno. Complimenti. 👍👍👍👍😊

[@dougbowman9651]

Thank you sir

[@woodandtable]

Nice! Every time I put walnut through my Dewalt planer, it get tear outs. I’m using blades, supposedly new ones.

[@genekatauskas6904]

NICE👍

[@thewoodplank4376]

Thanks ✌

[@johnjss]

Do you get any snipe when you use your planer with the board oriented vertically? Also are you running straight or helical?

[@thewoodplank4376]

Very small amount of snipe, I do try and cut the boards a little long to allow for this. I haven’t upgraded my planner blades yet, hopefully one day!

[@sleepyowl910]

Nice video! What was the starting thickness of the padauk and walnut boards, 4/4 or 5/4? Thank you!

[@AlienJ69]

It is really great piece of work, even some can say piece of art. It looks great and when you watch this you want to make something similar yourself. I have one small question: When you oiling the board do you reuse excess of the oil for next projects?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I reuse the oil until its all gone, endgrain boards do get thirsty. They act like a sponge and drink a lot of oil but whatever is leftover is used on the next one.

[@AlienJ69]

​@@thewoodplank4376 I thought so :) Thank you for an answer. Once again great job done, same with board and with video about it.

[@kathleenwhite-wenger176]

Hello Jacob, I've done wood working for 30+ years and have begun doing smaller projects (they are easier to move around) and really enjoy the work you do and the results you produce. I made the walnut and padauk end grain cutting board and it looked pretty good... until I added the mineral oil. The board turned VERY dark. I can now barely tell the difference between the two types of wood. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong? Thanks, Gary

[@andypiszcz6583]

I had a similar problem years ago. I think it is the density or weight of the piece. Some walnut is heavy and dark and will turn darker with oil. Padauk can be heavy also, but if you get a little sap with it, it will be lighter in weight. Just my idea. Good luck with it.

[@jd1399]

what grit paper do you use on your drum sander?

[@frankrossi5019]

What type drum sander are you using? Are you happy with it? I had a Jet 32-16 and could not sell it fast enough. I could not keep paper on it.

[@Shipmodel]

สวยมากครับ

[@thewoodplank4376]

ขอบคุณ

[@tedloos]

Beauty!! Thanks for the vid When I recently used Paduak on a board, there was some “bleed-over” of red into the light maple - any suggestions ?

[@thewoodplank4376]

One of my favorite combos is Paduak and maple together, great contrast! The bleed-over is a problem that I can relate too! My best advice is to sand with a little less pressure where those sections are, and gently hand sand to finish.

[@birdbandit9]

I just used Paduk for the first time as well. Lots of bleed over. I definitely agree with using less pressure. Also, I'm thinking of covering maple with painters after I sand it first (I'm experimenting with edge grain "Cleveland Browns" boards so my maple is straight down the middle so I can tape it off easily) then moving into the Paduk last. Not sure if it will help, but hoping so.

[@davidmurray1729]

THANKS. Very Nice. I made a padouk cutting board and the padouk still rubs red on a cloth…is this normal?

[@Grey_Workshop]

is titebond 2 approved for use in food contact applications? I thought only the third one has such properties

[@flyboyx8288]

beautiful work! watching your video, I noticed you use Titebond 2. Titebond 3 is more waterproof. just wondering why you don't use that product instead?

[@thewoodplank4376]

I use titebond 2 "dark" for all of my walnut boards, it hides any remaining glue lines. Tiebond 2 is water resistant (titebond 3 its "More" water resistant hence waterproof) According to Titebond's website food safe and can be used for cutting boards. I've never had one fail.
