I've chopped on some light weight and wonky shaped chopping boards before that moved on the counter or had bowed so they rocked. This is outstanding. I know it would not slide or move. Really nice. The handle notches look great too.
rotate the grain rings when you are gluing them up. look at the end grain if rings are pointing up the next strip should be 90*, do this each for each strip. this will keep it from cupping.
why would you want this?? super heavy and doesn't do anything a one inch board wouldn't do. Sorry to talk shit on this vid bro.. but this is just flexing and serves no actual purpose. Why not make it a foot thick??? LOL

Fint arbete och kul att se west epoxy användas till ett sånt här projekt. Min far hade agenturen för "west" en gång i tiden och var den första att ta in det i Sverige. Då lanserades det som båtbyggarepoxy.
Absolute beast of a butcher block! Thanks for a great video! What is that you're using to cut the handles? They are my favorite of all the videos I've seen!
Very nice work. Looks excellent. A couple of questions if I may. Why did you switch from PVA to Epoxy for the second glue-up Why Ash - that’s not usual - it may be as simple as what you had Thank you
When used as a glue the various epoxy systems should really be thickened with some kind of adjunct - wood flour or glass bubbles or something to ‘bulk’ it and reduce its absorption into the wood.
Very helpfull explanations thank you. I want to manufacture my own drums sticks with ash wood,because in my country its impossible to find hickory and less dried oak wood but i can find heavy weight ash's wood.can you suggest to make drums sticks from ash wood?
I was thinking the same thing. Or the router blade is dull and has been used too many times. I don’t typically get burn marks w/ my router any more. I control the speed. If you move the router too slow you will get burn marks as well.
Shouldn't there be some bolts to reinforce the block (something hidden under some pieces of wood) ? I'm just wondering how much time the glue will hold after hitting the block regularly.
Excellent. I’m trying to decide if I could achieve the same with just a 10” wide sander. Why did use change from PVA initially to epoxy as glues? I’m very sure you have a good reason and I’m curious to understand a better way
Gorgeous!. I have a proper wood block rescued at sea. I'd like to make my butcher block, but without cutting and gluing. Just one solid wood block. Your opinion please.
Large single wood blocks, depending on the species, are prone to cracking as they dry. this is why you rarely see this type of cutting board. Cracks in a cutting board will collect food and meat juices and grow bacteria - not what you want. If your block is old and dry and free of cracks, I don't see any reason not to give it a try.
Elias, what was that you used for a finish? I make cutting boards every day and am always looking for something better than mineral oil and bees wax. I have used tung oil before and a lot of people say that it is not food safe but it is, you just have to know the difference between being dry and being cured.
@@EliasKlingvall okej :D jag har planer på att bygga ett eget butcherblock men vet inte riktigt vart man kan få tag i fint trä till det :/ tror du gammal ek skulle kunna funka eller är det för hårt träslag?
Elias Klingvall Thank you for answering my question. That's what I thought, but didn't want to assume. It looks like it will withstand through time and hard use. :)
I had the same question. From all I've read Ash and Oak are not great choices for cutting boards. I'd be very interested in whether these sort of boards require extra maintenance, or whether they could split/crack soon
@@ghabcdef @rosmod Yes Ash is bad for end grain boards. Even when maintaining good the open pores will keep water and with it bacteria. It does make good serving boards though.
never used epoxy to glue boards of a cutting board or butcher block. Epoxy contains epichlorohydrin which is carcinogenic. Under the knife cuts, micro-particles of epoxy will mix food and you really don't what that.
Your craftsmanship was a joy to watch; and remains mesmerizing even a year later. Thanks.
Simple Yet Elegant. Great work Sir.
what a piece. absolutely beautiful
Now sir, THAT is a deadly weapon!! :-) Nicely done once again Efias!
Thanks Richard!!
Great work!
simply beautiful design, thanks for the inspiration!
Beautifully done. And I love your solution for dealing with snipe - minimizes waste and ingenious!
Thank you Dan!!
Is that why you staggered the boards in glue up? I dont see why you would want to waste 2 inches in length?!
@@stevenholton438 I figured he was trying to offset the seams, but I may be wrong.
I think it's thick enough.
Nicely done.
A chefs dream cutting board. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
gorgeous solid as a rock!!
Looks great. Would love to see a video of some of your old machines.
Thank you Zachary!!
While I was surprised you weren’t turning, Elias, I wasn’t disappointed. My friend, you have mad skills and I’m learning from you. Thank you, Elias!
Thank you very much Alan!!
Very good work., impressive., BRAVO....

Nice work.. great butchers block
Great job!
Thank you!!
A butcher cutting board every 'chef de cuisine' all over the world could be proud of! What a looker!!
Really nice.
Now *that* is a proper butcher block. No wimpy little 50 mm block suitable only for slicing summer vegetables :-) Clyde
Thank you Clyde!!
Very nice. Just subscribed!
Wow, very nice.

Absolutely gorgeous. Wish I had one of these for my preps!

It's called a shaper, kinda like a router table on steroids.
Beautiful
Nice work. One question though. Why wood glue on the first glue up but epxoy on the second.
Not OP but 2nd glue up is face grain.
Epoxy is not food safe. Tight Bond III is one food safe glue and waterproof.
@@mass112594 wrong. Please don’t state as fact things that you haven’t researched. Cured it’s safe. Just as with all modern finishes.
1:38 Now I know who bought all the clamps .
Very nice work. Looks excellent. A couple of questions if I may.
Why did you switch from PVA to Epoxy for the second glue-up
Why Ash - that’s not usual - it may be as simple as what you had
Thank you
Guess the guy doesn’t talk lol.
When used as a glue the various epoxy systems should really be thickened with some kind of adjunct - wood flour or glass bubbles or something to ‘bulk’ it and reduce its absorption into the wood.
It is a fantastic and cutting board.
Thank you Kobie!!
What kind of clamps are those?
Awesomeness
Very helpfull explanations thank you. I want to manufacture my own drums sticks with ash wood,because in my country its impossible to find hickory and less dried oak wood but i can find heavy weight ash's wood.can you suggest to make drums sticks from ash wood?
I think ash would be fine. In the US, baseball bats are made of ash.
I have to make one for my own. What type of Wood do you use. It should be hard Wood ?
Very nice
Does anyone know what the make and model, or even the name of the style of those clamps he used in the first glue up, the long flat metal bar clamps?
Do you sell these? I would like one if I can buy one from you please
A beautiful work it probably will last 200 yrs or more
Thank you very much Malik!!
When you're "rounding over" with the router. slow the rpm's, you won't get the burning. A lot less sanding.
I was thinking the same thing. Or the router blade is dull and has been used too many times. I don’t typically get burn marks w/ my router any more. I control the speed. If you move the router too slow you will get burn marks as well.
Verkligen utmärkt arbete!
is the paint healty?
wow great cutting board, awful lots of work with that Festoo edge router though
Great video and great work 👍👍👍project turned out great
Thank you very much!!
Awesome
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Very nice. When you ripped that first board and moved to jointer I was like nope that ain't enough wood. How many board feet?
Me too. lol
Great End Grain Butcher Block - A Real Butcher Block. What Finish did you use? Thanks!!
cool is it eatable epoxy resin?
Shouldn't there be some bolts to reinforce the block (something hidden under some pieces of wood) ? I'm just wondering how much time the glue will hold after hitting the block regularly.
The wood will break before the glue.
What a fantasy
That is Beautiful. How much does that weigh. Where can you purchase one similar.
Thank you John!! I’m not sure about the weight but it’s pretty heavy. Any wood shop can make this if you have one nearby
That thing is huge
What kind a glue you are using
wow how many board feet of ash was that
Piękna robota
What's the arm piece over the jointer blades? Is that a chip guard/blocker. Or does it hold the material down?
Or both I guess.
It’s a guard so you won’t put your hands in the wrong place it doesn’t really put any pressure on the workpiece
@@EliasKlingvall ohhhh. Gotcha. Thank you.
Excellent. I’m trying to decide if I could achieve the same with just a 10” wide sander.
Why did use change from PVA initially to epoxy as glues? I’m very sure you have a good reason and I’m curious to understand a better way
Thank you Martin!! Because of the size of the glue up I wanted a bit more working time
@@EliasKlingvall I had the same question, glad someone asked... great job there my friend
Thank you Roger!!
I didn't think any epoxy was food safe?
@@n_check3543 Agree, I paused the video as soon as he used it to see what comments thought.
What is the oil type you used for finishing?
It’s Osmo top oil
@@EliasKlingvall I hadn’t heard of Osmo before-cool. How does it compare to mineral oil + beeswax? Does it impart any taste to food?
Fellow Swede i see.. (on the cuttingboard brand) najs :)
I'm building my own from red and white cut-offs from a stair builder...
Where can i buy one of these Blocks?
You visit your local wood shop and ask them to make you one
Where can I get these clamps?

@@jfsauer42 Crystal, thank you John. I'll try, my wood block looks perfectly dry.
That's some thicc ash ya got there lol
nice
Why epoxy instead of wood glue, was it so you could keep working on it that day? That thing looks like it weighs a ton.
I guess because of its completely waterproof and has better hold.
Most wood glues cure brown/yellow on ash.
@@marquisbois990 I didn't know that because I rarely use ash... thanks for the knowledge nugget.
Beautiful work. That can’t be food safe right?
Sure can be.. osmo-store.com/product/topoil-high-solid/
TheFlier if it falls on you it might do some damage.
Ja, nu snackar vi. Grymt.
Tackar Johan!!
Excellent work.
Linseed oil..?
Where's the rest of it? A butcher's block means the legs as well.
Cool
but is epoxy food safe ?
Elias, what was that you used for a finish? I make cutting boards every day and am always looking for something better than mineral oil and bees wax. I have used tung oil before and a lot of people say that it is not food safe but it is, you just have to know the difference between being dry and being cured.
It’s Osmo Top Oil. And you’re absolutely right most finishes are safe as long as they are fully cured
Thanks a lot, I actually have some of that.
Ursnyggt! Vilken storlek är det på detta mästerverk?
Tack så mycket Mats!! Den är 15cm hög 40cm djup och 50cm lång

how does end grain ash hold up to knives? is it a good wood to use for boards?
the danger I see is ash is a long grain porous wood, it can trap food juice and create a perfect nest for bad bacteria to grow.
That's THICC yo.
fyfan va snygg :D får man vara fräck och fråga vad du gav för virket? :)

Wow
Nice work! Can someone help me understand why a butcher would want a block that thick?
Thank you!! A thicker block is more stable and can take a harder beating but in this case it’s to get a better work height of a low counter top
Elias Klingvall Thank you for answering my question. That's what I thought, but didn't want to assume. It looks like it will withstand through time and hard use. :)
Isn’t ash a bad wood for this? Open pores?
I had the same question. From all I've read Ash and Oak are not great choices for cutting boards. I'd be very interested in whether these sort of boards require extra maintenance, or whether they could split/crack soon
@@ghabcdef @rosmod Yes Ash is bad for end grain boards. Even when maintaining good the open pores will keep water and with it bacteria. It does make good serving boards though.
Missed a trick not calling this the “ash-done butcher block”
That's my name too!
never used epoxy to glue boards of a cutting board or butcher block. Epoxy contains epichlorohydrin which is carcinogenic. Under the knife cuts, micro-particles of epoxy will mix food and you really don't what that.
Yeah, that just killed this beautiful build for me.. This epoxy fad needs to stop.. people are literally making epoxy "river" cutting boards...
@@FJB2020 Totally agree with you.

A bit flimmsy would make it thicker 😂😂😂
No good job but man thats a lot of ash 😂
So u didn't make a stand to put that beautiful Butcher block to go on ☹️ u should have
What made you decide to use epoxy and not wood glue?
I need to know! Ha
Loved watching your video, but I do not like the music, it distracts from your beautiful work you’re doing
