  • In this video I make three end grain cutting boards using one solid piece of wood for each one. This is a great way to simplify the process of making end grain cutting boards and would be a very helpful video for beginners or someone looking for a nice creative challenge. Two are made from walnut and one made from cherry. I also go over the tea different style finger grooves I use as well as one of the most important cutting board jigs. I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for watching!!

    I have thousands of dollars of wood in my shop. Including 400 bf of black walnut. I have several boards I made and kept for myself not Including the ones I sell and give as gifts. I just ordered one of your boards - thats how impressed I am.

      Thats vey kind of you and I am truly grateful for the support!! I am glad I started filming the process of these creations because now when you get the board you also get the backstory of how it came to be. The one you bought came from one of the most unusual pieces of walnut I've seen.
      I really hope you enjoy it, Thanks!!!

    G'day from Australia mate awesome work, I've just started to make endgrain cutting boards myself and it's a bit of a learning curve but happy with the results. I will admit that I love it when it comes to the oiling process, that's when you really get to see your work pop

    • @thewoodplank4376
      @thewoodplank4376  Před rokem +1

      There is definitely a learning curve with endgrain boards but if you hang in there the results are always worth it. Oiling them is absolutely the best part, walnut has one of the more dramatic transformations.

    I have a question. I plan to make a cutting board. I have a single piece of wood, cut from a Live Oak trunk. It was cut as a horizontal ring - so the end grain is already the top surface. I only plan to trim, plane, and sand it. Is there any reason this would not be better than cutting into strips and gluing together ?

  • @avramw
    @avramw Před 2 lety +1

    Seriously one of my favorite CZcams channels, man! Informative and beautiful work! I learn a ton from you as a beginner. I got a couple of questions again. First, how do you sand the burn marks out of the finger groove or how do you avoid the burn marks to begin with? Second, if I use my drum sander mainly to flatten things, what grit and brand paper do you recommend? I keep getting burn marks when I run boards through mine for some reason...

    • @thewoodplank4376
      @thewoodplank4376  Před 2 lety +7

      Thanks so much Ron, I really appreciate the support!! Questions are good!! I'll get the finger grooves to the depth I am looking for then give it a very light final pass, this usually cleans up any previous burn marks. I do the same thing with juice grooves, the final go around is always very light. Also Cherry burns super easy, probably one of the worst for burn marks.
      For the drum sander I find that 80 grit usually does the trick. I fell victim to this too but you have to remember the drum sander isn't a planner and you need to go with very light passes. The tendency is to want to take off a lot of material at once, but that will burn everytime (or if your grit is too high). I usually go with the supemax pre cut sandpaper but have recently starting buying it by the roll and cutting my own, its a fraction of the price. I Hope this helps!!!

    Enjoy your videos displaying your artistic touch and efficient work style. Years ago I made a cutting board and somewhere I got the idea to make the hand hold much bigger so about 1/3 of a plate can be slid under so chopped food can easily be slid off onto the plate. I was afraid the large area with the thickness differential might cause problems but after about 5 years of use no splitting or problems. Have you ever tried this? Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

    @martatorres-quinones5151 Před 2 lety +1

    Thank you for your beautiful videos, you got another subscription from me. The cherry design is my favorite. The thickness... not so much from a practical perspective. Is there a reason why they are so thick (aesthetics or science)? Personally, As someone who cooks on a daily basis, I prefer thinner cutting boards for cooking as they are not so heavy to carry (specially one-handed). For example, with a heavy board, I cannot scrape ingredients from the board into a hot sautee pan because it would be too dangerous to do so holding a knife on one hand, the board on the other hand an a hot pan underneath. So... The question is would a 7/8 to 1 inch end grain board warp?

      Thanks for the sub Marta! A 3 inch thick board is definitely not as maneuverable as a thinner board, and probably not as practical either. I only make this thickness from time to time, and you would probably need a second lighter board to go with it, they do have a nice look on the counter top though. I normally make my boards between 1.5 and 2 inches, however a 1 inch board should work out just fine. I actually plan on making a video, testing the durability of various cutting boards, stay tuned!

    Truly beautiful work, I would like ask what type of finish you use on the boards. I have tried Mineral Oil, but I enjoy the sheen of the finish you used in the video.

    • @thewoodplank4376

      I make a beeswax/mineral oil board conditioner that I apply after the mineral oil bath. My newest video, "ombre board" goes through the process of how I make and apply it.

    Sorry for the questions but what oil do you use and how long do you wait to put on bees wax thank you and they are al greate I love the book mark looking one the best but all are sweet

      No need to apologize, I use a 100% food grade mineral oil (should be a link in the description) I let them dry for a few hours then apply the beeswax.
      You can go with two coats of beeswax if you choose.

    Thanks for making this. You bring up an issue about which I'd like your comment. Since you make a "juice groove," or whatever you call it, you are obviously inviting the cutting of meat (cooked?) on your board. While leveling an antique butcher block on legs, I experienced a ghastly stench from the years and years of the blood from raw meat's being cut. Therefore, I don't advise my cutting boards to be used for raw or cooked meat, but only for chopping vegetables or slicing cold cuts or cheese. My question is, "What finish do you use to prevent the absorption of liquids which would turn rancid in the wood?"

    • @thewoodplank4376
      @thewoodplank4376  Před rokem

      Thanks and Welcome! I try and price each board by the complexity, species of wood used (walnut is expensive by me) and size. It also depends on what grain direction I am building, endgrain is the most expensive due to how many steps are involved. I mostly do custom boards but my prices normally range from $75 up to $500.

    Any problems with using Titebond II? I use only Titebond III on all my boards because I heard of separation. Have you had issues with any of that?

    • @thewoodplank4376
      @thewoodplank4376  Před 2 lety +1

      I've been using titebond two for a couple of years and never had an issue, I primarily use the "dark" for all my walnut boards. Titebonds website does recommend it for cutting boards.

    • @thewoodplank4376
      @thewoodplank4376  Před 2 lety +1

      I'll run them back through the drum sander until they are level. If you don't have a drum sander you can add rubber feet to the bottom and that should help with and subtle unevenness.

    Cutting boards are so satisfying to make. I wish wood would be more affordable again. It’s ridiculous! It used to be relaxing, to make things, now the material prices make it stress me out. Lol.
