- Follow along as I create and give detailed instructions on this uniquely patterned cutting board. This honeycomb or hexagon pattern is a real head turner. I'll be using hard maple and walnut, make a few jigs, and point out some things I'd change along the way.

Teaching something like this for free is amazing on itself.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate the kind words. I have learned more from other woodworkers on CZcams than I'll eve be able to teach. It's a great way to pass and learn new knowledge and skills.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking This shows your personality. You take but you also give. I hope you keep this up. Thank you😊
At 17:15 I almost screamed don't!!! It would have looked amazing with those honey comb edges, and a bit more unique than a square board
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I know, I know, several other viewers mentioned the same thing, and I agree, but I have to give the customer what they wanted. I was also a little apprehensive about what would happen if one of the points takes a hard knock down the line. I'm guessing it would likely split or chip. A solid edge is much less prone to that type of accident. Thanks for your comment.
just a tip from a new woodworker who made the same mistake...the "cradle" you made to send the bottom of the hexagon strips should probably hold more than one, and be about as wide as the sander, as sending the same width strip through the same spot again and again can wear a spot out in the drum sanding paper
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Definitely could have a made a multi-jig in order to send several members through at one time. If I was mass producing them I'd definitely look into building one. I do tend to fluctuate the location of the jig so that I'm not hitting the same spot every time. I can't really get to close to the far edges with this particular jig but can move it across the center so as not to wear one spot. Thanks for your observations and suggestions.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking yeah, I figured you knew what you're doing 😁 but I'm on a severe budget and just learning, so my consumables have to last. I love your board and your videos , thanks for sharing them with us
@@byronshepherd8415 Definitely understand the cost of consumables. Thanks again for watching.
I've been playing bass for years and doing these things without even realizing it. Unfortunately, nobody ever explained it this way and I wish someone did.
For someone just starting out, this may be the most valuable lesson you can get.
I'm not sure if your comment was meant for this video, but thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking: It was for another video. I was typing when your video started playing. Somehow it posted on yours.
But anyhow, that's some amazing work. I always wanted to make something like that.
@@jerryabrowne No problem. Good luck with the bass playing. I'm a guitar player myself.
You can't see me but I'm bowing to your greatness! Lol. Excellent job!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. How do you know I can't see you? 🤣
Salt in the glue ?!?! ABSOLUTE GENIUS !!! Such a beautiful board, will be attempting for sure. Hopefully I’ll have results similar to this masterpiece!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I would love to say this was my own technique, but I've seen it used by other woodworkers to provide a little bit of friction when trying to glue surfaces that tend to shift against one another. It's been pretty handy.
I saw this trick a few years ago from another channel. It does work and just about every time I glue, I now use salt.
Another trick the author didn't mention is spraying the bottom of your crosscut sled with Pam or any other non-stick kitchen cooking spray. This helps your sled slide easily over your table saw deck, making your cuts easier to do and reducing the chance your sled gets snagged in your table saw deck grooves.
@@TheJMBon Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I hadn't heard of the cooking spray trick. I usually try to keep the rails of my crosscut sled waxed with good ol' Johnson's paste wax. The cooking spray might take a little less effort however. Thanks!
No matter how impractible, you gotta admit that to preserve the honeycomb shape on the ends would have been quite cool ...
Agreed, it would have made for a completely different aesthetic.
Some will never understand the extensive process to this job, but I do! Beautiful!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! As long as it's a labor of love it's not so bad. When it begins to feel like work, then it can get tedious.
In the thumb nail I thought you had cut hexagons then filled the gaps with epoxy but you really did this the hard way, it's a stunning result. You have a lot more patience than me 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Once you get a few of these under your belt, then the production time drops fairly dramatically. Mostly I'm waiting around for glue to dry.
Seems to me this design will crack the wood when it expands.
@@coolbeans3390 There's always a possibility of that with any mosaic board. There are lots of surfaces in contact with each other, but with proper finishing and glueing it should mitigate those issues. This particular board has been in use for a little over a year with no issues. Another way to prevent the issues you mention is good technique when cleaning, caring for, and conditioning the cutting board.
I HAVE RECENTLY WATCHED NUMEROUS CUTTING BOAD VIDEOS AND AS OTHERS HAVE SAID YOURS IS BY FAR THE BEST. I HOPE TO WATCH ANYTHING YOU HAVE ON THE TUBE TO LEARN WHAT I CAN. I AM PROBABLY TWICE YOUR AGE AND PLANNING TO MAKE SOME CUTTING BOARDS. I BUILD FURNITURE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN INTO THE CUTTING BOARD SCENE. THANKS BUNCHES. GARY
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Oh, I'd say you're way off on our ages. I recently retired. I would say I'm a little jealous of your skills if you're a furniture builder. It's something that I would like to do as well.
I'm so grateful for this not being just another epoxy build. Craftsmanship is getting rare with that thing.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I agree on the craftsmanship comment. I get a lot of viewers who want to purchase cutting boards, but when you give them "all in" price they get sticker shock. Craftsmanship comes at a cost. Some people think it's worth it, other don't.
Awesome video. Appreciate the detail.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
I am a machinist, not a woodworker so much but I very much enjoy watching a craftsman at work. That being said your replies to all your comments is extremely impressive and seems would take as much time as the work you do. (thank for sharing your knowledge and abilities in a well presented manner)
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. I think any sort of skilled worker, including yourself, simply tries to impart any knowledge that they may have to assist others who are starting out, or just simply have questions. I ask lots of questions of fellow woodworkers, and watch a lot of videos on techniques that I'm less familiar with in an effort to improve the outcome of any project I may be taking on. I still consider myself pretty green, and have a lot to learn, but we all start somewhere.
Beautiful. I'd never heard of the salt/sand trick before. Great idea.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. It's definitely not my own personal trick, it was borrowed from other woodworking videos I've seen over the years. It's a nice little trick though, especially for angled surfaces.
Great tip! Neither had I.
True grit.
😕
sawdust works as well
I’ve been a quadriplegic for 13yrs. Massive regrets for not learning carpentry while my body was able. Looks like so much fun.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I've enjoyed woodworking for a longtime. There's something zen about it. I will start on a project in the morning, then look outside and see that it's dark and not even realized it.
It would scare the hell out of me trying to put a juice groove in something that took that amount of time to fabricate! Awesome project.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I don't typically put a juice groove in a board unless they're of a certain size, typically at least 16 x 14 x 2. Even when adding one I'm always nervous when doing it. One little slip with the router and its pretty much ruined.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking Thanks for commenting. Awesome work.
Not bad. Fine. Great. Perfect. There are not enough words to describe it.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. This pattern turned out to be a real stunner. I was amazed when it came together.
That turned out awesome! 👍🏻 I really like the way you present your videos! Thanks for the tips too! I’ll have to give this one a try! 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. It was a really cool project. Definitely give this one a shot!
Awesome. WE NEED MORE CLAMPS!
Great job
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I still don't think I have enough clamps at times!
i absolutely love this board!! i keep expecting to see a bee come out of one of the combs. next time you make one of these put a bee on it.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I had actually thought that I might laser engrave a bee on one of these. I think it would really pop.
I really like the way you explained every step of your procedure during the presentation. Job well done.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. It's taken a while to find my format for videos. Some of my first videos I didn't even narrate. It does a take some extra work, but I've been pretty happy with the format over the last half dozen videos or so. Thanks again for the compliment.
That turned out really amazing! You did a great job!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out.
Oh my that's some amazing woodworking. I thought you wouldve just used epoxy but boy was I wrong
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Making jigs is time consuming.
Hope you made a bunch of these awesome looking boards.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I'm probably around the dozen mark so far on producing these boards in various sizes and thicknesses, and currently have 4 more on my schedule for customers. They've been really popular.
Holding control when you make a shape in that program makes it equilateral.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Thanks for the tip.
What program is that?
@@rubix1080 looks like MS Word to me.
This is stunning! My wife is part of a national dentistry group called MDIB and they call themselves the Bee’s. We have so much Bee stuff in our home, but nothing this special. I would love to know more info, especially if you take orders. My wife would love this. I could almost guarantee you would get a mass influx of orders if she posted it on their group page…there are hundreds in their “hive!!” that would die for this! Superb craftsmanship!

It turned so beautiful, If I would have this, for sure not gone a use it for chopping 😂
Respect to your craftsmanship ❤
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I really appreciate it!
Very nice cutting board!!! I love the design. Thank You for sharing your knowledge.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Appreciate it!
Lovely looking board, thank you for showing us how it’s done
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
I love how the color popped when you put it in the oil bath.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I think that's always my favorite part of cutting boards... the oil bath. You don't really get to see the beauty and features of the wood until that point. I just dropped another one of these cutting boards in an oil bath this evening. Still satisfying.
Beautiful and very original
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Absolutely beautiful work and amazing craftsmanship! Your narration was to the point and not filled with useless fluff...thank you. Also, when you changed the camera angle on the glue up, it made the all the difference in understanding how the glue up worked. Keep up the great work and the videos.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate the constructive comments.
Very creative board, outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your talented work with us 🙏🏼

That's really neat. Well done.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Beautiful, I certainly don't have the skill, tools and most importantly, the patience to do something this good.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. A lot of woodworking is patience, and there are lots of times when I don't have enough. 🙂
A really great cutting board, I'm thrilled. The only thing I would incorporate would be a juice groove.
greetings from Germany
Guten tag! Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. This ended up being a fairly small board (28cm x 28cm), so I just didn't think it warranted a juice groove. Personal preference really. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. You are a very talented wood worker.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
I rather prefer the edge with the hexagone profile at the sides. Look adorable!!!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I've had several other viewers that made the same comment. I had to go with the customers wishes, and I was a little afraid that one of the pointed edges would split if it took a bump.
very nice job, congrats from France 👍
Merci! I appreciate you watching the video and commenting.
Very well done! I am always impressed not only with beautiful end results but also with someone willing to share in detail how it was made. The jigs made this cutting board possible. Again, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. That's where most of my head scratching occurred... "How am I doing to glue all of these angles tightly and sand them flat?". It took a while, but now that the jigs are made I can get one of these components glued up in about 3 minutes. Then, it's just waiting for the glue to set, rinse and repeat. I currently working on three of these boards for customers, so the whole process has been worth it.
As someone with almost zero woodworking experience, this is fascinating. Love the final product too
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
That drum sander is a lovely pice off kit 👍🏻
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I think the drum sander is the most expensive piece of equipment in my shop, but also the most used.
👍👍👍Excellent technique friend, I have seen many colleagues making hundreds of cuts to achieve similar visual effects but you have used the power of mathematics👍👍👍
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. I've got another really crazy design that I'm working on that I hope to get uploaded soon.
absolutely stunning work! :) i wish i had one of those. :)) and beautiful narration, too! i appreciate that a lot. cheers from cologne, germany 👏🏻✨
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate the kinds words. Prost!
Great work my friend. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. Decided to make this honeycomb board as my first ever cutting board. Just did the first panel glue up last night. I’m up before the sun thinking about the board lol. Wood is expensive here in California, I’m planning on selling for around $200. Cheers! 🍯 🐝
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. You're brave to make this board for your first, but sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet. Hope it goes well. I think wood is expensive all over right now. I've had to "up" my asking price on this board since posting this video. I've got about 6 of these under my belt now so it's a little less time consuming to build each one now, but as wood prices started rising all you can do it adjust the asking price. Even at $200 we're not really getting a lot for our labor.
The amount of labor this specific board cost you should be charging near $400 at minimum. Just make it a thicker board and charge a proper price for have to take nearly a whole day to make one board
@@kuntakentay6969 Thanks for your comment. There may be other factors at play that you're not taking into consideration in terms of pricing. If the gentleman above is happy with his selling price, or if I am, and feel that it's worth it the time and effort that's all that really matters. You run the risk of pricing yourself completely out of sales when you start upping your price to the levels you indicate. You can only sell something for what someone it willing to pay for it. In California, he might be able to get more than $200 for this cutting board, in Mid-Missouri, not likely. This was a fairly small cutting board (11" x 11" x 3.4" when finished), and I doubt that I have more than $40 worth of wood in the entire board, glue, sanding, etc. I'd say overall I have maybe 5-6 hours (maybe less) of actual labor in it (not counting the overnight glue drying time) now that I've refined the process. If I subtract my material costs and divide that out, it would be averaging a little more than $25/hr. for labor. Personally, I don't think that's too bad, but again, it may not be for others. A lot of woodworking is just the enjoyment of the process.
The bevel gives it such a high quality look. Crazy board.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it. Sometimes those last minute decisions are the right ones.
I was trying to watch but this guys voice is so soothing, I keep falling asleep!! 😂🤣 great video!!! Super talented
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I'm not sure anyone likes the sound of their own voice. I've never thought of mine as soothing, but I guess I'll take it.
Wow, that was a ton of work, great job, thanks for sharing your process!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. The process actually goes somewhat quickly in that there are a lot of glue up steps that then just sit overnight. Lots of sanding, but with the drum sander a lot of that goes fairly quickly.
I was thinking you were going to cut the maple into all those hexagon shapes and then cut out matching hexagons from a big chunk of walnut and then plug the walnut with the maple pieces and it was just a real headache to imagine. Cool work.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. The reveal is definitely a nice part of this project.
Frig, there is no nicer feeling than doing all this work, then on goes the finish, bam it’s so satisfying. Nice video.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I agree, that oil dip is where it's at!
Really cool very nice cutting board
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Impressive! This is definitely one of those "think and measure a dozen times, cut once" projects. Turned out fantastic, nicely done! I just can't believe you didn't finish it with BEE'S WAX!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. You are correct, a lot of head scratching on this one before I put pen to paper, and then to the shop. Now I wish I had bees wax on hand to have finished it with too.
@Donny D Thanks for the tip. I don’t think I would have ever thought of that as a source for beeswax.
@Donny D do they still make them with beeswax?
@Donny D gonna give that a go!
Well done! Very interesting process. How about this for consideration: cut out a bunch of hexagonal pieces and lay them in a jig. Use a colored epoxy to fill in the gaps between the hexagons. Then route, sand, etc...
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Your suggestion could certainly be done. I've seen some really creative things done with CNC machines to cut different shapes and patterns so that epoxy can fill the voids. I haven't tried it yet, but definitely something I've contemplated.
Epoxy is pretty bad for the sharp knives, the whole purpose of grain end cutting board is that knife edge rides between wood fibers. I am sure you can make it very beautiful but if there are too much epoxy it may lower overall performance. Of course if you only plan to display your cutting board or use it as presentation dish then it will work just fine.
Love your designs and most of all your patience that I don't have. I can hear my dad telling me to slow down when we worked on projects 65 years ago. Even though he is gone now I can still his voice, "slow down."
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Oh, if you could be a fly on the wall of my shop. There's a lot of frustration at times, and a few choice words as well. While I might sound cool, calm and collected, the videos that get posted are heavily edited, so while it may look like everything is proceeding with ease, there are times that I definitely lost my patience. I have as many projects in my shop that didn't quite workout, as though that did.
EXCELLENT WORK 👍🦅😎🇺🇸
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
great project, thanks for this! one note - instead of starting with 1" thick board, cut the hexagon a little shorter on that side. if you were to follow the same process with 1" thick board (basing the width of the hexagon cut on the thickness of the board with no allowance for sanding), you'll wind up with bigger hexagons but still worrying about sanding too much off.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Sometimes when you're doing a project for the first time small issues arise. There are a number of things that I would change after going through this the first time. I always appreciate tips. Sometimes it just takes someone else looking at it, or having a different perspective.
A good idea to get consistent cad files is to use something like CAD/sketchup/solidworks instead of Word. Notwithstanding that, if you DO insist on using word, holding the SHIFT key while drawing your hexagon in Word will enforce "equilateral" (all sides the same). Finally, in the Format Shape panel under your line settings, ensure your join type is set to miter.
It's also worth remembering that your monitor adjusts the dimensions of an image to render it correctly on a widescreen. The shape may not look correct visually until printed.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I really only wanted to give viewers a quick idea of a hexagon and its properties. But, I do appreciate the tip on creating a hexagon with equal sides with the shift key.
Your dry humor is very entertaining! You are so talented!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
😍Beautiful work‼️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 From 🇧🇷
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! Happy to hear from Brazil!
That's really cool, thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
Personally I think it looked awesome before you cut off the edges to square it up. Most people probably wouldn't want sharp edges on the sides of their cutting board though. I wonder how it would look with just a 1/4 inch or so shaved off the tips, so it didn't come to a point but still had that irregular edge. You'd almost want to do it on all four sides though, and that would be challenging.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I've had several viewers say the same thing, but I worry having all of those exposed corners. One good, hard bump and that corner is likely to split. I just couldn't risk it. I did have one user who suggested that the whole board should have been cut with a hexagonal pattern, which I hadn't even thought about.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking the hexagon shape is what I was thinking. But I think doing it in a square first is needed so you can understand the problems you might have come up with a non standard shape
@@deusvult6920 Got it, thanks for the clarification.
You said getting the hexagons to be regular (i.e. all sides are the same length) was hard but I don't think it's a math and angle problems: you'll always have discrepancies due to sanding.
What you could do, though, is making them symmetrical with two longer sides (the way they are in your board) on purpose...and do a final cut and glue-up across that extra length.
Thanks for the tip. I think as long as it looks good in the end that's all that really matters.
Beautiful beautiful .
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Mate ur fabiously, in ur design❤ thx for sharing! This from NZ as we ain't got this beautiful wood

Thanks!
Thanks for watching the video and for the SUPER THANKS! Your support of D.E. Jaeger Woodworking is really appreciated! ❤❤❤
Wow, what a board! I am in the process of making my first board and am finding the drum sander a god send! out of curiosity, how much time, start to finish, did your board take? And given the amount of cuts, glueing, and sanding, what did you sell your board for, and how did you determine the price? So many questions, but oh! such a beautiful board!!!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! think that sander is the most expensive thing in my shop, but it has been well worth it. I use it on every project, it saves me a ton of time, and is far less messy than hand sanding with an orbital sander. I think it's likely the best purchase I've made. In regards to build time... waiting for the glue ups are really where I "lose time" but since it's not really what I call a labor cost, it's just having to wait around. I can glue up the thin walnut pieces to the maple in about 5 minutes, but I only have enough clamps and jig to do one of those glue ups at a time. I typically let the piece sit in the clamps for at least 5-6 hours before unclamping and getting another piece clamped up. All of the unclamped pieces dry at least 24 hours before I assembly the panel itself. With all that said, I've probably only got between 6 and 8 hours of actual labor in the entire board start to finish (again, not counting actual drying time). During that drying time I can work on a completely different project, mill some lumber, clean up a little, etc. The material costs for all my projects have gone up just due to supply chain issues over the past couple of years. I'd say there's probably $40 worth of wood in this board if I order the stock to the dimensions I'm wanting to start with (18" x 2" x 3/4"). In terms of what I charge for a board. The cost really depends on the size. The board in this video I sold for $125 (I think I undersold it personally). It was a fairly small board (10" x 10" x 3/4"). I've since made a couple of boards a little bigger and thicker and was charging $150 for them. I've gotten so many requests for them that I've now put a price on them at $200 for a board that is roughly 12" x 10" x 1". If someone requested one larger, I'd adjust the price a little. The prices were for local customers where shipping wasn't involved. Let me know if you have any additional questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking What is the drum sander that you use?
@@BrandoF-vz6iq Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! The drum sander is the Jet 16-32. I've been very happy with it, and use it on almost every project I produce. It saves me a lot of time, energy, and mess.
that pattern looks amazing.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
Thank you. Watching this is very inspiring
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
You can save a little time by only wetting after your final grit and resanding. Raising the grain after each grit doesn't really help. Only the last one matters.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Appreciate the tip, I'll have to give that one a shot to see if I notice a difference. I'm all for saving time during sanding!
Agreed. Raising grain only counts on the last grit.
This may have already been mentioned elsewhere in the comments but, at 17:12, do you think it would be possible/ beneficial to reattach the cut off to the opposite side of the cutting board? That way both sides would have the same pattern.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. The only issue there would be that the walnut cell wall would be doubled on the one side.
i am currently making this as a learning project in my woodshop class at school and it will be my first cutting board
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I'm loving that you're making this for a project and that they are still teaching woodshop in schools. Send me pics so I can see the results. dejaegerwoodworking@gmail.com Best of luck!
hey i was cutting the stock 16”x2”x1”, i was cutting the 30 degree angles and it made the top part of the hexagon really skinny
@@xccam_ Hmm, not sure that would happen. Did you use an angle finder or set the degrees on your table saw? You want to make sure it's measured from the 90 degree vertical blade and not 30 degrees from the table itself.
@@DEJaegerWoodworkingyeah i used the one on the table saw probably why……
i asked my shop teacher if he had a angle finder but he said use the one on the table so…..
That is one of the better boards I have seen made.
I've got a doozy that I finally got on paper this last week. I finally got the wood in for it and should be starting on it soon. Stay tuned!
Great end result. But the amount of clamps used at 9:22 was comical 🤣 great work!

I'm sure nobody would pay as much as I would charge to make this amount of time and all the effort worthwhile. Seems crazy elaborate for a chopping board but it sure does look beautiful.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. It’s difficult to price handcrafted work and I know in the beginning I under charged for it. But there is a point where you can price yourself out of customers too. I really don’t have a lot of actual man hours in this board when you consider it takes just a few minutes for each glue up. The drying time isn’t actual work so isn’t figured into my labor costs. Realistically I probably have about $30-$40 in wood and 6-8 hours of actual labor in one if these boards and charge between $150-$175 a board depending on size. Not making huge profits by any means but I’m ok with it. I’ve made 6 of these boards for customers since posting this video.
@@DEJaegerWoodworking Yeah, I guess that's fair. If you can fill in the drying time gaps with other work, then it might work out well financially. And, of course, if making money is not the main purpose of these projects, then these all don't matter. Either way, I loved the outcome. It looks beautiful and it was cleverly done.
Very very nice work and craftsmanship. Well done. Master at work.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I'm pretty far from being a master, but do appreciate the kind words.
Beautiful piece
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it!
i also make cutting boards. i added a vacuum tank to oil my boards in. it is amazing how much air comes out of the board when you turn on the pump!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. That's an interesting idea. I'd be interested in seeing some pics of your setup if you have time. My email address is: dejaegerwoodworking@gmail.com

oh no! I loved the honeycomb edges! 💔
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I know, I know, so did a lot of other viewers. Had to go with what the customer wanted. I would be a little apprehensive of keeping those jagged edges. Just too much likelihood that they'd get damaged.
That is so awesome! I really enjoyed watching the process!
Thanks Deana! You're really going to love the next one.
Beautiful job. If you can, you should post the wax and oil bath brands used in your description.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! Here are the links to the food safe mineral oil and conditioner that I typically use on my cutting boards.

Wowow... Great woodworking project, design art... So cool

Thanks for another great video. Loved your 3D cutting board. Gonna have to give this one a shot too.
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I've got an order for one of the 3D borders right now. Quite a bit bigger than the one that I videoed, so hopefully it goes as smoothly.
Whew! What a job, excellent work.
