Wood Appetizer Plate

[@georgezarifis7409]

I much prefer this kind of videos, where you don't talk at all. They are just so clean and well made that they speak for themselves. An absolute joy to watch... Thanks for making and sharing them!

[@MauriceBlok]

+GEORGE ZARIFIS Thank you George for your constructive feedback, it's much appreciated!

[@DIYTyler]

Such a good mix of wood species.

[@Gastel]

Jazz and woodworking... so satisfying. Love your work.

[@MauriceBlok]

+Gastel :-)

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really good looking tray! Your production value is off the charts recently! Really enjoying watching.

[@MauriceBlok]

+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks Bruce!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That wood looks incredibly strong, I expected that thin handle to break. Looks amazing as always

[@MauriceBlok]

+Robin Lewis Thin it is, strong it is too. Obviously shouldn't be used as a baseball bat :-)

[@tooljunkie555]

very nice..love the pluggs u been putting in as inlays..adds SO MUCH style to the piece.

[@markandbethbuild]

The colours of the bubinga and the birch are stunning! very slick editing once again!

[@MauriceBlok]

+Mark's Gourmet Workshop Thanks Mark, I'm also a fan of the bubinga birch combo

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Simple yet stunning!! great design.. I really like the quilted one hanging at the end of the video..

[@MauriceBlok]

+Tomy Covington Hi Tomy! All others I made (30 to 40 or so in total) are in Curly/ quilted Birch. Thanks for watching!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

+Maurice Blok oups, I feel bad now that I liked the other ones instead...😳 the one in the video is gorgeous too, I just have a thing for natural figured wood...great video..

[@MauriceBlok]

+Tomy Covington Haha, no worries Tomy! I have this bug for natural figured woods also.

[@brianhackett9649]

Gorgeous! Love the plug layout.

[@GuysShop]

Beautiful Maurice! I am always amazed at how you seem to make an ordinary piece truly extraordinary. Great work my friend!

[@MauriceBlok]

+GuysWoodshop Thanks Guy, this is one out of six or so different projects I was commissioned to design and make for a corporate gift company, as was the beer case.Thought all those pieces were/ are made in curly Birch.

[@MartyBacke]

[@MauriceBlok]

:D

[@TheRealElDiablo]

That was awesome Maurice

[@MauriceBlok]

+joe brown Hi Joe! Thanks for stopping by, more small projects to come

[@TheRealElDiablo]

Maurice Blok Awesome looking forward to them

[@blackswanprepping8827]

Really cool! That will make the food taste even better! 😄

[@MauriceBlok]

+Dutchhorse Thanks!

[@WoodByWright]

Sharp! I don't think they make a sharp ceder sharp enough for that!

[@christiaanbroere2262]

stunning!

[@samaker4]

Nice hammer technique at 2:50. What is the advantage of shaping a thick form and then cutting it thinner on the band-saw? Would it not go faster to make the thin sheets and then shape them?

[@wesselschoonderwaldt8896]

this way they are identical

[@MauriceBlok]

+sa-maker Just as Wessel pointed out, this way I can make two to three out of one board while skipping the step measuring, marking and shaping each one by one.

[@donnythedart]

Very nice Maurice!

[@mirockswoodshop]

Very cool!

[@mihumus]

Very nice board!

[@MauriceBlok]

+Humus Workshop Thanks!

[@ideando]

awesome project!

[@henrysworkshop7477]

Good to see more excellent videos Maurice :)

[@MauriceBlok]

+Henrys Workshop Thanks Henry :-)

[@ivwoodworking1034]

Very nice. Although I use occasionally bc they're beautiful, I despise working with bubinga and purple heart - so hard and they dull my tools so quickly. Thanks for the video, though. Well made!

[@MauriceBlok]

Bubinga is one of my favourites! With sharp tools (which I maintain ;-) it machines like butter but rock hard. Loving it! Thanks for watching

[@ausguitarist]

Your shop is so good love watching the vids. Can we see a shop tour in the future? is that an apartment above your shop?

[@knivesstuff]

Geweldig werk! Zo mooi om te zien. Slim om het van zo'n dik stuk te maken, kan je er drie maken.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

wow man! awesome work! Being so thick at the beginning I was expecting to watch you making a batch of them (4-6?) Do you do that for other plates? Can you insert all the dowels in all of them at the same time? In your video it looks like they don't go all the way through. Anyway, my mind was just flying. Excellent result! :)

[@MauriceBlok]

+Cactus! workshop Of course I show doing only one. From one board I can make two or three. Even though measuring, marking and shaping a thicker board to then resaw it works very well for me, in my experience I get much better results drilling and plugging individual boards. The deeper drilling at the drill press, the more off it'll get. Thanks for watching!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

+Maurice Blok That makes sense. Thanks! :) great stuff once again!

[@JolienBrebels]

Love it!

[@HHGdrums]

love your videos sir

[@williamruiz3800]

Gran trabajo master

[@mirockswoodshop]

stylish!

[@ogsugarbear]

Beautiful craftsmanship! No eye protection?

[@MauriceBlok]

+ogsugarbear Your eyes seem to be very well :-) indeed, should use it more

[@jackbradshaw56]

Stylish!! Very nice board. What is the dowel maker/drill bit called, I want one?

[@kirn.creations]

Use that plate for cookies with macadamia nuts. Nice work Maurice!

[@MauriceBlok]

Haha, I myself even see use it as an ice-cream scoop ;-)

[@Nah06]

Awesome work and great shop you have. Was wondering which product do you use to finish the plate?

[@MauriceBlok]

Beeswax, carnauba wax, paraffin oil blend

[@RexakonGaming]

Jeez how many of those have u made xD

[@fd4294]

AWESOME!!! What finishing oil did you use please?

[@DoubleD629]

awesome! what kind of drill bit is that. that makes the dowel plugs? where can i find that ?

[@MauriceBlok]

Search for plug cutters. I have a set of five.

[@racma8698]

thank your for the idea !

[@MauriceBlok]

You're most welcome

[@bobbystacy6065]

Fantastic build! Thank you for sharing! I've noticed in most of your videos, your starting slab is large slabs. Where would a person get something like that? Local lumber mill? Self milled?

[@MauriceBlok]

Birch is one of the few domestic hardwoods we have in Finland. I get my timber from whole sale timber yards that import to Finland

[@alesambaprimeiro]

Great vídeo👏🏼👏🏼

[@MauriceBlok]

Thanks Alessandro

[@jimgam730]

Very nice. Would you mind if I used your design? Thanks

[@MauriceBlok]

Its out there now :-) of course you may. Totally appreciate you asking!

[@catalin-aterierulukata]

good stuff ...

[@rutgerssander]

Hoi Maurice, mooie plank(en)! Verkoop je die op "craft fairs" ? Groeten vanuit Nederland, van een mede-houtbewerker met een klein maar groeiend YT-kanaaltje.

[@MauriceBlok]

Ik maak deze in Berken en zonder inleg voor een relatie geschenk bedrijf. (Evenals de wijn plankjes, het bier kratje en wat koffie gerij wat ik nog filmen zal, sst ;-)

[@roozbehfarhadi9993]

What would you do if the handle breaks while you were sanding it down? 😂

[@mertvak]

[@андрейшитников]
