Woodworking: Walnut Cheese Board

On this episode of Wolf Ridge Woodworking, I make a quick holiday or really, any occasion gift. Cheese boards are really quick and easy to make. There are many different designs and in this video, I show how to make on with a handle. At the end of the video I show a couple of boards without handles.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!
Thank you Jen for the sticker and the pin!

This was the only thing nice that came out of 2020. Great work.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you! - Ed

[@rafaelayala1662]

MUY BUEN TRABAJO!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

These look great. I have never thought of using espresso grounds. What a great idea.

[@bradmcnamar5679]

At first I questioned the doing it so thick and then cutting it in half, but the proof is in the pudding and they came out great!!

[@stuartscott9646]

So, so nice!

[@tracychamney7178]

lovely!!!

[@valborchardt3596]

Oh my gosh Ed, that wood is amazing, they really look lovely....some lucky person will get a lovely gift....thanks kindly

[@mmills7012]

Great boards! Beautifully done.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you very much Mary! - Ed

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Ed, They all look really, really great. The grain in the walnut is fantastic. The laminated pair look really cool as well. Great work Ed. Take care. Cheers, Huw

[@PFWoodturning]

They're gorgeous!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you very much Peggy! - Ed

[@williamellis8993]

Those are great looking boards, Ed. No problem that there wasn't turning in this video. I can find plenty of those if I want but a regular build is a refreshing change. Take care. Bill

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Bill! You know me, always trying something different. Have a blessed day! - Ed

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Awesome job Ed! those look awesome brother, I enjoy the flatwork also, those are great gifts! Thanks Ed!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Bruce! Take care brother! - Ed

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

Those came out super nice, what I read below with using a leather strap was a good idea also. We just finished 2 boards ourselves for gifts, our polsihing/rejuvinating finishing paste worked real well also.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Nice stuff, buddy! Well done.

[@noelgreen9381]

Nice work. Timely for Christmas.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Noel! - Ed

[@pastoruke4322]

Nice job Ed!

[@miladyblue5077]

Wow, I wish I were on your gift list, those are beautiful! Alas, considering how much time I spend in naughty mode, you would probably be sending me boxes and boxes of sawdust.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Looks like a nice thing to whip up and add to the inventory of items. Nice Job!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Robert! - Ed

[@tanyaipes7947]

Beautiful

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you! - Ed

[@robertcloosterman9336]

I love the texture and color of the timber, regardless if it is turned or not. Noticed the Ryobi trim router. Good one. Just got one for Fathers day from my daughter. Damn wish I got one sooner. Nostalgic sound of the Laser CNC. Mine broke down about a year ago and haven't had it working since. You have inspired me to pull my finger out, and get on with it. Love your work. Rob

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you very much Rob! It's taken me a while to where I'm comfortable with the laser engraving. Now I can only get the spindle zeroed in, I'd really be able do something. ha ha. Take care! - Ed

[@charlesharvel4339]

Nice job on the cutting boards. I would love to see a video on you making your engraver

[@janeoverby2151]

nice Ed, my husband makes cutting boards like that. Those turned really pretty.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Jane! - Ed

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Ed... lovely cutting boards.... 2 for the work of 1 is always good ... I also enjoy making cutting boards... usually the laminated version... walnut is not so easy to buy here in the UK... very expensive... I really like your lasered logo ... it just makes the product look very professional... great video... take care...All the best.....Andy

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Nice Ed! 👍 I always use Hazelnut coffee grounds mainly because is can’t stand the taste of it 😂🤣. I go nuts on my Charcuterie boards, dry sand 120-1,000 then soak overnight in my diy mineral & orange oil bath then oil sand 1,200-12,000 grit.

[@chief2169]

Just found you and subscribed. Beautiful cheese boards; I love working with walnut also.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Laymon! - Ed

[@waynemolnar8013]

Ed, love the cutting boards. Nice change from the turning. Didn’t realize you had all the machinery. Jealous until I saw the CNC. Then I was really jealous. Have logo burning issues as well. How about a leather string to hang those beauties up? Keep up the great work!

[@paulpierce4818]

Those are fantastic Ed. I'm actually glad you're expanding out of the turning. I guess mainly as I haven't turned in many months and am trying to get back into the small crafts stuff again. I feel the older I get, my tools are going to waste sticking to just one venue. Also I'm tired or busting my butt to turn out bowls to just have warp and crack. I can't outlive green wood waiting for it to dry. Keep up the flat boarding for awhile.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Paul! It was so hot and dry this summer here in Arizona, all my wood dried out super quick. If you can pick up an old used fridge, you can build this kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZe5fYp5hcyshK8 . Something like that might help you out brother. - Ed

[@paulpierce4818]

Without even looking at that link, I know how its done. I just don't have the room or time. I do microwave small items when I did pens. That worked pretty good. But I haven't done pens in a long time. Lots of wood and kits left over, I just got tired of doing them. I love bowls and lidded boxes if only the wood was stable. Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the videos. Keep up the great work. I did 4, one chamber bat houses and I can't even sell them. But I did sell a 4 chamber to a local farmer. He loved it.

[@reloadNshoot]

I am always at odds with adding my logo/names on things. On something like that I would have put it on the very corner or on the side where’s it not so obvious but still on the piece. Very nice boards.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

I don't disagree with you on the placement of the logo. While there isn't really a back or front on these, the cutting/serving side will be the side without the logo. - Ed

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Nice couple of pieces of flatwork Ed🎁 Question: What is your 'homemade board conditioner? 🙏 Stay safe. -Mike😷⏳

[@mauiharward7897]

I dig em... their cool. Where did you get the wood?

[@glencrandall7051]

Four very nice cheese boards. Very nice figure on the walnut boards. Very pretty pattern on the unhandled boards. Good finish on all four. I like your new logo. Great way to go. What machine are using for the engraving? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.

[@billswann9345]

Took that question right out of my mouth. What you say Ed? Blessings from Ireland.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Glen! The laser engraver is a MPCNC (DIY) made from 3D printed parts and metal conduit. The laser it's self is a 5.5 watt 450nm laser. I built it using this site: www.v1engineering.com/. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like me to do a video on it. Take care and have a blessed day! - Ed

[@terryraines9952]

thanks for the video now I want to do a cutting board, where did you get the laser and the name of it?

[@therookiefisherman5234]

Very smooth, what was the length and thickness of the board before you started?

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

If I remember correctly, It was 21" long and 2" thick. - Ed

[@jontoolman]

What were the cutting board dimensions? Thanks for sharing.

[@markfishburn8284]

Both came out really nice. Thank you for sharing. Who made your laser engraver?

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Mark! The laser engraver is a MPCNC (DIY) made from 3D printed parts and metal conduit. The laser its self is a 5.5 watt 450nm laser. I built it using this site: www.v1engineering.com/. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like me to do a video on it. - Ed

[@markfishburn8284]

@@WolfRidgeWoodworking Thank you, I have been wanting a laser engraver for many things. I will check that out.

[@davidfix444]

What size wood can I use to make them and what kind of wood can be used. Thank you I liked the video.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you David! For the wood, stick with closed grain wood like Maple and Walnut. You want to stay away from some of the exotic woods for cutting boards. For the length and width, it really depends on what you decide, but you will want to go with 4/4 or 6/4 for the thickness. - Ed

[@rickstewart2247]

Great looking cheese boards. What are the dimensions of the ones with the handles please ?

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Rick! They ended up at 20" long (6" handle) x 5" wide x 3/4" thick. Take care! - Ed

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

what was the finished dimensions ? very nice

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Kandie! The length is 21" (including the handle) and the width is 5". - Ed

[@v9816]

Is the glue used with the coffee grounds food safe?

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Yes I feel that it is once it is dry and sealed in with the oil finish. - Ed

[@asitturnsout7108]

first!!!!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you for watching! - Ed

[@satyr997]

Don't use resin for cheeseboards - cheese ist fat and will take chemical softeners in from the resin. Not healthy! BTW: you could produce a lot of paddles for domestic use, too - seeing this cheeseboard it instantly reminded me of ' a trip to the woodshed'... ;-)

[@nitrousblast1]

No talky no watchy bye bye

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

I do try and give as much instruction as possible without talking the whole video. I would encourage you to possibly check out some of other videos. If you're still not satisfied, please let me know what I can improve to help more people. After all, that's why I do this. It's certainly not to get rich or quit my day job. Thank you and have a blessed day Brian! - Ed
