- 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!!!
Looks amazing
Grandioso trabajo, eres mi ídolo!!! 👍
Excellent vid. Beautiful boards.
that's beautiful!! awesome technique!

The grain is beautiful! Nice job!
Another good video, thanks for sharing some knowledge and your beautiful work!
Absolutely, thanks so much for watching!!
Good work and they all perfect but I like the one with center dark grain
Beautiful work and beautiful house! It must feel amazing waking up and seeing the hills in the distance
Beautiful. Loved the design. Loved the production of the video. Inspired. That's how I feel. And thank you for that.
Those boards are amazing! Great job!
I appreciate it! 🙌
That cherry board looks amazing
The cherry turned out to be my unexpected favorite. Good job.
They are all beauty. I love watching these after work Definitely inspiring.
Thanks so much 😊 That's why I decided to make these, to hopefully provide some quality content with a dash of inspiration!
Truly gorgeous works of art! I saw them on the stand and I thought oh no, there's not going to BE a fun part! Thank you so much for your artistry.
😁 Thanks for watching!!
I love dovetail end grain cutting boards
Just awesome work. Enjoy the country setting, and music too. You are very skilled and truly an artist. Keep the videos coming. Thanks Man!
The 3 inch thick board looks great
GREAT WORK, THANKS FOR POSTING.
Absolutely, Glad you enjoyed it!!
Te felicito por el buen trabajo que haces con la madera 🇵🇪
They all turned out beautifully.
Thanks my friend!
After watching several of your videos I decided to make my first cutting board. It was end grain of course and turned out beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thats great to hear! Its a great way to keep improving your your woodworking abilities and build something unique that literally gets used everyday. Keep it up!!
I love your boards! All is great! 👍🏻😍
Thanks so much! 😊
I recently found your channel and love everything about it. The relaxed nature of your area and surroundings. Your artistic style is inspiring and a joy to watch. I have been a hobbyist woodworker for about 15 years and love to see others ideas and try to incorporate into my own builds and style. The cherry is my favorite, over time it will darken and show even more character. Keep up the great work!
Thats what its all about, sharing ideas and evolving your style! My surroundings are what help keep me grounded and inspired. Cherry is at there top of my list for favorite species for cutting board, the color ages beautifully! Thanks for your comments and sharing in the journey!
awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Just recently discovered (and subscribed to) your channel, and I love everything that you do! Keep up the great work and sharing this great content.
Thanks and welcome!
Amazing, God bless you. Whatching from Brazil. Amazing place.
I like the looks of the thicker cherry board. I think I will give that a shot. I have just the board to try it out on. Thanks for what you do and sharing it.
I am a fan of the thicker boards well I think they have a little extra presence, thanks for watching and the comments!
Beautiful results...
You are truly making some inspiring work. Your calm demeanor combined with excellent video of what you are doing is helping me tremendously. Thank you!
Thats awesome, I am so glad some these videos are helping you along the way! I will hopefully continue to improve my video and editing process, thanks for the support!!
Amazing work! Awesome job with the video too!
I really appreciate it!
Excellent.
Awesome!
Thanks!! 🙌
simply beautiful
Thanks so much!!!
I’ve just stumbled across your channel and I’m absolutely loving it, I’ve subscribed for sure. I’ve not tried a end grain board yet, but I think I will now, especially as I’ve just got some English walnut recently. 👍🏼
Welcome aboard Terry! Endgrain can really make you work for it but the results are second to none! I hope to release more tips/tricks/mistakes videos as well as new build videos in the near future, I hope you find them helpful. Happy sawdust making!!
Loved them all but the one I loved most was the 3" board it was beefy yet seductively sophisticated 👌💯
I like how you phrased that! 🙌
Absolutely love your work, beautiful. I think my favorite is the walnut with the solid top surface and the cherry is my second choice. Honestly, I would want them without the rubber feet. :)
I like them all very beautiful boards
Good Answer!! Thanks so much 😊
The more I looked at them, the more I find the cherry board my favorite. Nature creates some beautiful patterns.
Walnut usually gets all the attention but I a huge fan of a solid cherry cutting board. As the wood ages it turns a beautiful dark amber color.
I'm addicted to your videos.
Thanks, Kurt
I appreciate it Kurt!! 🙌
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
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 enjoy your videos and the work you do.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great work again Jacob. I usually prefer Walnut but I think the cherry is my favourite in this instance.
I agree, Walnut gets most of the attention but Cherry ages beautifully.
Your videos are the best I’ve seen on making cutting boards. Easy sub, I expect you’ll have many more soon
I appreciate the support!! Hopefully you'll find some helpful info and rock solid entertainment! 😁 New video came out this morning
Belíssimo trabalho. Parabéns 👏👏 Marcus 🇧🇷
🙌
I thought the first one was my favorite until I study the second one. Then I look closely at the homely cherry and now I’m leaning that way. Wow they are all perfect in their own way. Your work really inspires me to get off the couch and create my own masterpieces. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring.
Thanks for your feedback!! I am a big fan of cherry cutting boards, they age beautifully and over time turn a gorgeous amber color. Some of the reasons why I decided to post my process videos was to help break down the build process and hopefully make it manageable for folks to give them a try. Now its time to create your own masterpiece!!!
Awesome work
I really appreciate !
Parabéns todas ficaram lindas 💯💯💯💥💢
Thanks so much!! 🙌
Another great video. How long do you leave them to soak in the oil before taking them out to dry?
Jacob,absolutely stunning ! They all look great ! When are you going to make new content ? We all miss your work. Happy new year
I really like the cherry one.
Nice!! It was a last minute decision to make that board but I am glad I did!
I operate a custom qoodshop in Boone. I knew immediately you were in western NC from the view at the beginning of this video. Those hills are unmistakable
My brother lives in Boone, Its an amazing part of the country! What's the name of your woodshop?
Non of them is my favorite... Each is simply awesome!
🙌
Wowwwwwwwwww. Watching your video is like watching an action packed movie. Never a dull moment. I like all of them but if I have to choose I'm picking the one with the round pattern in board. Keep them coming:))))))))))))
Thank you so much 😀
good job
These are all beautiful but I really like the Cherry. I also appreciate the scenery. Looks like the Blue Ridge to me...North Carolina, perhaps? I found you today and subscribed. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for the Sub! I am also a big fan of cherry, It ages beautifully. You guessed it, I live in Western NC, a superb range of mountains.
Here’s what I like about your approach. You’re not afraid to experiment. Symmetrical. Asymmetrical. Uniform. Varying. That is woodworking. Well done.
Thats always been my approach, I don't follow any set guidelines or what might popular, I go with what feels right .
Beautiful work!
Question: what do you do around the knots/holes when cross cutting those pieces? Just cut them out and set aside for something else?
Cute dog.
Beautiful work as well.
Thanks! 🙌
Nice board, nice video, nice music!
I like all of your cutting board videos along with the music and the beautiful nature. And your advice again and again: Protect nature. I think this is a message and nothing works if everyone doesn't respect nature.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Harmony is a hard thing to find but I always seem connect with nature, I am constantly inspired by its beauty.
It came out nice but I almost shed a tear when you used that one beautiful piece of figured walnut for a cutting board.
I understand it was a very unusual piece, but at least its beauty will be seen and enjoyed everyday.
Very nicely done
🙌
All beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Great video! Thanks.
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 ?
Damnnnnnnn….. beautiful bro
Thanks so much! Walnut always comes through!
Very nice, good idea, stan
Thanks 👍
I would take all of them. 😍👍
🙌
Привет из Сибири!!! Молодец 🤝👍!
Супер.идеалная работа.привет из узбекистана.г. Ташкент.
Awesome work - thanks for sharing. Which flattening bit are your using in the router?
I use an Infinity Tools Mega Dado Bit, Its a beast!
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...
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!!!
My favorite is the Cherry.
Thanks for the feedback!
Best glue up tip EVER!! That earned a sub
And a like 👍
🙌 Very Much Appreciated !!
I have become a real fan of your videos and I have recently subscribed to your channel. I have only just started making cutting boards and I am really inspired by the way yourconnection with nature. I live in Townsville Northern Australia on the Great Barrier Reef and within striking distance of the vast Australian outback so I am keen to apply some of your inspiration to our environment using Australian timbers (aussie for lumber). Keen to hear your comments and share future projects with you and others
Thanks for your comments Allan, and the sub! I bet you have some pretty unbelievable landscapes in your region, I can only imagine some of the sunsets you have there. It's the middle of winter here and we've been getting snow daily, I really enjoy winter and the changing of the seasons.
Wish you all the best on your woodworking creations, cheers from half way around the world 🙌
@@thewoodplank4376 Thanks for your reply and and comments Jacob. We do have some pretty nice sunsets and sunrises here in the dry tropics. I thought I may see what I can do using on board from an Austranian timber for a start ( like what you have done here with the walnut. Lets see how it goes and if I can get my ceative juices flowing. Keep you posted
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.
I've seen some of those handles done on instagram and they look like a great idea, I like things that serve more than one purpose. I really want to figure out a way to incorporate a knife slot, or holder. magnets??
Hey, Love your Art! At 2:40 you mention running your pieces through the drum sander to get rid of chip-out, can you run the pieces thru the planer instead, I don't have a drum sander...Thanks again !!
Hello! You don't want to run pieces through the planner where the direction of the grain is opposing, I would use a high quality crosscut blade and that will really help with any chip out.
The walnut one with the dark lines
Thank you from egypt
Thank You! 🙏
Nice channel!
🙌
Very nice. What's the wax that you put on as a final finish? That matte sheen looks amazing!
Thats my board conditioner which is primarily Food grade mineral oil mixed with beeswax. A 3 to 1 ratio. I have been experimenting with adding other ingredients and will hopefully share more on that soon!
Beautiful work! Those all turned out so nice! I need to start buying some tools, that looks like a lot of fun! ;-)
Thanks! Its a great way to stay creative and work with your hands. A very rewarding medium!
Wow....beautiful work. Who built your branding iron? Looking to have one made. Also any chance of a table building video in your future? You have beautiful tables with unique designs on your website.
Its been a few years but I believe it was The Custom Brand Shop that made my branding iron, I've been pleased with it so far. Yes I have some furniture builds planned in the future, an endgrain coffee table has been on my radar!
yo this is put out on my B-day!!!!
🎂
I like the Cherry one the best. But I'm partial to cherry since I used it to make my first hardwood project.
I love working with cherry, gorgeous color and only gets better with age.
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.
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.
@@thewoodplank4376 Thank you so much for the reply I'll have to try this.
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.
What did you use the dado router but on? Was that for the hand holes?
I use the mega dado bit to flatten the boards, its a beast!
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?"
Just found your channel, love your work. May I ask how you price your work, given the price of wood. And I have subscribed!
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.
This is so pretty! Who needs dirty epoxy?
Do you have a tutorial for your flatting jig and your juice grove jig?
Not as of yet, but my next video touches more on the flatting jig.
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?
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.
Nice video, what do you do if the boards aren't perfectly level?
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.
@@thewoodplank4376 Thanks you, I do not have a drum sander but add feet if they are not even. That is sorta what I figured. Thank you.
What is the liquid you’re pouring over then soaking them in? How long do you soak them? Just starting.
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.
I couldn't agree more, It leaves little to no room for mistakes, which of course is inevitable. Sometimes you can luck out and find some cherish lumber on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist.
One question. Why did you route the corners before routing the edge?
This prevents tear out when routing, Good Eye!! 🙌
Definitely, beautiful boards and again, like the previous video I just saw, very instructive, detailed, inspiring and simply very pleasant to watch from beginning to end!
Congratulations for your beutiful and inspiring work. you’ve already got a lot of fans here in Brazil!
Thanks for the kind words 🙌
