Finally! A woodworking video with some Celtic music in it! Thank you.
Would never know they came out of a small shop. Goes to show with skill and attention to detail professional quality products don't have to come out of huge wood shops. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Much appreciated.
I'd say the opposite is true. I see more quality out of small shops where an individual takes pride in craftsmanship vs large production shops where hourly employees push buttons to collect paychecks. obviously the skill & attn is where it really lies - just my experience with a craftsman vs operators.
I think my favorite is the fade, but they're all really nice
Great work!
Awesome job Kris.👍🥂
Keep rewatching the Vids. Thanks Kris. Inspirational!
Awesome work
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job, Kris. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
Those turned out good. Nice job!
Thank you!
Very cool. Not sure what was more beautiful, the boards or the scenery
I just wanted to say at 1:38 into your video.
I paused it to say that i have already said wow to myself.
Shook my head up and down in agreement.
And given a thumbs up to nobody but myself and you.
Looks like great work! Hope I like the rest of the vid.
It was good !
@@michaelstuart5207 Thank you! Glad you liked it. At 1:38 was my very prego wifey helping me out.
Great job.👍. Nice boards
Thanks 👍
Well done mate
Thanks!
Very nice work in such limited space.
Thank you very much!
New sub from the UK great work. I’m just starting out and only have a small work area but this has inspired me as to what you can achieve! I also don’t have to usually contend with such extreme elements, I salute you sir.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. Hope it works out well for ya! Cheers
@9 minutes I thought that exact thing......oh boi, here come the comments!! I also knew the process includes cleanup, but that won't save you.
Nice catch, Kris!
Kris these boards are beautiful, so are the chaos boards you made. I have watched this video three times already... love your work, really appreciate you brother!
Thank you Jacques! I really appreciate the kind words and am happy you enjoy the video. Ill be coming out with 2 more cutting board and butcher block vids soon. Thanks again
@@KrisDeVo I cannot find out the price. Please help.

Did one for my daughter and daughter-in-law for Mother’s Day. They love them. They’ve got them displayed and not using them though!
@Kris DeVo - I like to point something out at 16:00 - I recognize something here as this is an important step in success. It seems small but it represents taking the next step. This is what happens if you start to create a product and do something for the first time on your product where others might avoid creating anything in the first place. I had the same steps in my metal works as I knew it can ruin or add towards the end result.
When you've done it once, you know you've added towards experience, so it's worth it. I have had these bumps every step off the way with my own stainless steel products... Maybe it says nothing to your viewers, but just doing it might be the best tip to create beautiful things. Try and succeed.
Love your work! Hans - The Netherlands
Thank you Hans!
Great vid. Want to see the chaotic Camo end grain video! Thanks.
Thanks! I shot the vid but when I went to put it together it didnt really work. Might try it again sometime.
New to your channel, absolutely gorgeous butcher blocks /cutting boards 👌💯💕
Thank you!!
Koi mining
Thanks for the tips 😀. I am planning on making one for my husband. Thanks a bunch. I love your vids. Keep it up and I'm so excited when I will be able to buy 1 from you. 😊 😃
Thank you! Cheers
Wow someone who puts there heart and soul into there dreams and it shows congratulations my man you deserve everything coming to you all directly results of being a incredibly awesome person thumbs up from the Kootenays in British Columbia Canada
Thank you 1979 Augustine! Thats a great year by the way. The Kootenays look amazing. Cheers!
Great workmanship, looking at the beginning of the video when you said you had a small shop you aren't kidding, you need a workbench!!
Thats true! Thanks
I really like your style, reminds me of my old longboards I built in high school but never seen Wenge used (unlike Walnut) on the edge and it looks amazing, definitely got an idea to build that into my first cutting board!! Great work! And those random puzzle looking board in the end?!! Gonna check that one out next lol
So beautiful. 😁❤
Great process, Kris! Even given the limitations of your space and tools, your product looks like it came out of a large, fully equipped production facility.
You’ve shown that creative thinking and hard work can result in a very professional result. Estimating your lumber costs it appears your production cost per board averaged about $20.
You should easily have been able to net a fifty percent profit margin which is outstanding. Congrats and great work, Kris!
Thank you Bill! Much appreciated. I ended up buying more lumber after the first 9 boards. Im into them about $40 each and they sold for 130-150. Worked out pretty well. Thanks again!
Michigan winters are bad enough for me but man thats a beautiful state
Thanks for the video. I found the camera work on chop saw totally disorienting and almost puked. Impressive use of space.
Very nice boards. I don't even want to think how expensive the lumber is in Alaska.
At least here in Anchorage it isn't too terribly bad. I'm sure it cheaper in the lower 48 though. Thanks!
Love your work Kris, just beautiful! I was wondering how narrow you cut your small strips. I have the same saw and planer you did in this video. I can cut mine to 1/4 inch comfortably on the table saw, and then plane them to 3/16 or 1/8. I made a jig I insert over the table of the planer so I don't risk bottoming out the turret.
Incrível!
If all your boards are the same height you can clamp multiple boards together and sand the side/edge grain as a block. That's how I do it at least and it's worked out well. It also helps keep the sides perpendicular to the face by keeping the sander from wandering off plane. Hope it helps!
That is a great time saving trick to do! I have done that before on different things but I don't think I tried it on these. Thanks!
Outstanding work! Beautiful patterns and designs. What are the overall final dimensions of your boards, and how much do you usually sell them for?
Thank you! The boards are all approximately 12"x18" x1" and sold for around $135 each.
So edge grain, right? Like your patterns, similar to what I do but you are using (and very well I might add) more of the thin strips than I do. Looking forward to the wood camo boards and love that description. Thanks and keep them coming.
Appreciate that Robert! Yes, edge grain except for the couple of walnut boards with a few strips in them. Those were made with 6/4 I think. Thanks!
Great work and you are truly an inspiration to those of us who are challenged by small work space, and even more so being that your climate is harsh as well. May I ask what is the gray colored wood you're using? The particular species I'm interested in is especially noticeable at 12:47 of the video. There are 2 pieces in each of the bottom three on the last stack. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you! Really appreciate that. Those were some light pieces of walnut. Not sure if it was part of the sap wood or not but definitely a lighter colored part of walnut.
Beautiful work, a true craftsman. How wide do you cut your boards before you turn them on end? Thanks
For the video.
Thanks Jerry, really appreciate the kind words. The bigger strips are 1- 3/16" and the skinny ones are 1/8" to 3/16.
What a fantastic job, especially for the conditions and limited work space. I am very impressed with your overall ability to complete that many cutting boards at one time. Do you go to flea markets, farmers markets or just word of mouth and friends and i saw you did Face Book as well to sell these? Thank you for sharing this video. Looking forward to watching more.
Thanks for the kind words. Just my cutting board page on Facebook and word of mouth. My wife ends up selling a bunch to co workers as well.
What form or forms of payments do you accept.
@@billthomas6296 Cash, check or paypal.
Beautiful work!! What species of wood did you use primarily for the light colored wood??
Thanks! Maple is the lightest color then Cherry would me the next lightest.
Hello Kris from the lower 48, Kalifornia the Leftist Coast!!!! Maybe something that will help you is I bought from Walmart, was a wire dish rack that you let dishes drip dry on. I bought 4 of them and leave a couple of big shop towels under the rack to absorb the oils. Not that you are asking but, I use Food Grade Mineral Oil from amazon @ $ 13.00 a gallon. Not sure what it would cost to get it to Alaska? I've never had an issue with just Food Grade Mineral Oil, just a thought. Thank you for sharing, God Bless! Cheers
Hi Robbie, the wire rack thing is a good idea. Ive done that a few times but on these large batches I just lay them on top of each other. Food grade mineral oil is great. Been using that for 25 years. I really like this Howard butcher block stuff now. Might try some mineral oil and bees wax sometime too. Thanks!!
What are all the wood types you use?
Love the videos keep em comin
Woods used are, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Padauk, Wenge and Purple Heart. Thanks!
excellent video thankyou ,where in Alaska are you ??
Thanks! Anchorage area.
I have to adk you where do you sell your boards from the mist. Like Esty or what other way
Great looking boards. What thickness do you end up making the boards?
Thanks! I normaly try and keep the edge grain boards around 1" or 1 1/8".
Your small garage has some advantages too, at least your tools are very close to you at all times. You are faster like that.
Kris these boards are very beautiful. Can you tell what are the different types of wood used?
Woods used are, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Padauk, Wenge and Purple Heart
Amazing boards Kris. What kind of wood is the bright red/orange one, which goes so well next to the maple?
Thanks Dan. That would be Padauk.
Wow! Those turned out beautifully! I only had one question, what is the final thickness of your boards, it looked like 1 1/2” on camera but I wasn’t sure.
Around 1"
Hey Kris. I watch your videos. Very informative ! Thought you might get a chuckle,
In January 2021, in Omaha Nebraska, it got down to - 24 below !!! I'm thousands of miles south. What's wrong with this picture ? LOL
Nice ! Thanks, what type of wood you used.

Those are really nice cutting boards Kris. I didn’t see your Chaos cutting board video. Did I miss it in your feed?
Thanks! I filmed that video but wasnt happy with it last year. Im working on it again to make something out of it to publish. Should be up in a week or two hopefully. Thanks again.
I've been watching your videos like a religion now, awesome info to help get someone started. I'm soon to prepare to make my first cutting boards but my question is with regards to storing the wood in the cold, I'm guessing living in Alaska you may have a little experience in that matter! I live in Norway and my workshop at night now is around -5C, the air is also moist. When I am working in there I have heating on but with the fluctuations in air temperature, manufacturing and storing the materials in the cold, then bringing the products into the home, will this cause any issues with boards breaking/splitting etc? If I make a few for gifts and so on I dont want them breaking soon after!
Hi Brynley, I do store some wood outside in the cold but it is a dry cold here most of the time. I let it acclimate a few days in the garage before working with it. There is so many variables that go into there but main thing would be make sure the wood is completely dry and acclimated before working with. Hope that helps. Thanks
What are in your board conditioner? And is it possible to get tour board care guide tips?
Great video! Mind if I ask how thick the lumber was your started with? 4/4? 5/4?
Thanks! 4/4, and 6/4 depending on what is good. Its a little limited here in Alaska sometimes. Most exotics are 4/4 and 8/4 I believe.
Great job on these boards. I would like to try and make some for gifts. If you don't mind me asking where do you purchase your different types of wood from? Do you buy online or locally?
Thank you! There is a local place here that carries a nice selection of hard woods. Good luck on your gifts!
Nice vid one question im from new zealand been making some chooping boards but mine keep cupping how u stop the cup am i tighting my slash clamps to much?
Soo many varibles with that. See if your clamps are squar when you clamp them. They way you stack and store them as well. They will cup up if only allowed to breathe on one side
Nice work. I am working on a batch of cutting boards myself and I do most of my work in the driveway, but similar setup to you. What glue do you use? I have been using Titebond 3 but it wants at least 55 degrees.
Thanks! Yeah I use Titebond 3 also. Its the right stuff for food grade boards. I have a heater in the garage so temp isnt an issue for me. Sorry im not any help with that.
Hey👋🏻. I noticed that you didn't use jointers. How did you get a flat plane?
Great work! New subscriber. I live in Anchorage and make cutting boards for friends and co-workers as a hobby. What $ do you normally sell a board for?
Awesome, thanks! Most of the edge grain boards sell from 130 - 200 and 300-350 for end grain.
Beautiful.... how much are one if those large cutting boards ??
Thanks! They start at $135 and up. contactkrisdevo@gmail.com

That Planar is getting a workout lol
Cute meow meow!
very cool. question about the thin strips. Are they face grain? Are all your pieces face grain to face grain? I am confused about putting face grain to edge on cutting boards. is that ok over time? I know not to ever mix end grain with face or edge but I can't get a definitive answer on face to edge glue ups. both long grain so should be ok?? anyway your boards are beautiful and definitely going to try one.
Face and edge are almost the same thing. End grain and edge is asking for failure.
Who did you get your branding iron from?
hey bud! great work, where can i get one of those stamps??
I got mine from "High Heat Stamp" on amazon.
@@KrisDeVo thank you sir
Great Work! Where you selling these?
Thank you! I have a Facebook group/page I sell them on. "Devo's Cutting Boards".
What wood did you use in the fade board? It looks like walnut and Maple but what was the middle wood?
Cherry
With making such a large batch at a time, which i have chosen to do to. How do you get rid of board wobble?
Hi Kris, thank you so much for your videos! I’ve learned a lot. I hate to talk money, but what do you ask for your cutting boards?
Thank you! Right now they start at 155
@@KrisDeVo thank you Kris!
How do you get your lumber that perfect? Most of my local lumber yards, have stuff that's split, one edge unusable, and most often are sized all over the place in with....
The lumber I get is exactly how you described it.
Kris...where did you get the insert? I believe that saw doesn't actually support a dado stack, but it would be nice actually have a nice insert.
Pretty sure I got it on Amazon.
you are amazing and inspiring......I started making cutting boards for gifts and have ended up selling some now. I actually have sold a lot of face grain boards that have been used mainly as decorative items for 50 - 75 dollars, then started selling 1 inch "functional" cutting boards for 100 to 150; mine are somewhat smaller, {12 X 16).
I see you have a price range on your boards as I do.......I sell a basic three lumber, (maple, walnut and cherry) for one price and then add an additional 5-10 dollars for additional wood, .ie purple heart, mahogny, wenge, padauk....just wondering if you price yours similarly? Your response is greatly appreciated, I am on the brink of retirement after an extended career.
Such a loaded question, pricing is the never ending issue to making wood products.
When a cutting board is too thin or too thick?
A butcher style should be thicker?
Thanks again for your time and the videos.
Lots of variables with that so it would be hard to type it here. These are 1" and are kind of a standard for me. Butcher blocks should be at least 1.5" but the larger the board the thickness should increase too. The higher the build quality and techniques the thinner you can get a way with but the care of the board in the long run has a lot to do with it too. Thanks
@@KrisDeVo
Interesting...thanks for the reply.
Maybe a video of this topic would be great 👍
@@artespop1 yeah thats a great idea. Thanks
What is that purple wood?
Beautiful stripes.
Purple Heart is what its called.
glue really keeps the wood together? Even after washings?
Where do you get your shipping boxes? I tried to find some on the USPS website and couldn't find any longer than about 14 inches?
USPS discontinued them
I know this is an older video, but I do have a few q's I hope get answered. What thickness material are you starting with? 4/4 pre planned, or 4/4 rough cut. Also are most boards built using edge and not face grain? Looks like ur thinner strips are ripped to 1/4" are the wider strips 1-1/4"? Thanks in advance, great content and beautiful boards sir. Thanks for sharing
They call it S3S 4/4 for some of it. One square side and a ruff plane job. It ends up being 13/16 ish after I plane it. The other is rough cut, not square and has a light planed surface. That ends up being 3/4 ish or so. Wider strips are 1-1/4 or 1-3/16, thinner can be anywhere between 1/4 to 1/8. Mostly 1/8. I only do face grain upon request. I try to stick with edge and end grain. These were mostly edge. Thanks!
How many BF do you normally order per board? I am just getting into this and would like to try my hand at cutting boards.
I'm not really sure actually. I just go in and pick out a pile of good looking wood. I seem to always go back and get more to finish up the large batch.
Perfeito, muito lindo seu trabalho, qual as medidas das pranchas?
Thank you, 17" x 11.5" x 1"
@@KrisDeVo Thank - Florianópolis Brasil.
At the beginning of the video you said you were going to do a chaos board build video. Did you ever do that???
Nice work Kris. Just curious, you said you had $450 into the first batch of lumber and only got 9 boards from it. At $50/board plus shop costs you into each board for around $55. How much do you charge for them?
Thanks! Yeah I only got 9 boards from it but you can see there was 3 boards left of strips that were cut already that weren't going to work in a pattern for me. Probably 12 boards total for that 450 worth of wood here in Alaska. Most of the edge grain boards out of that first 9 went for $140 to $150.
Jurious as to how you’re getting the faces of your boards jointed flush enough for the edge grain glue ups without a planer. I’ve made a couple cutting boards and I feel like I can never get my boards deafest flat as to where there are no gaps in the seams. Nice cutting boards I really like the paduak
Not sure I understand the question. I used my planner a bunch in the video and all lumber gets run through the planner first thing on both faces.
Think he meant a jointer for the straight edges
@@KrisDeVo I think he was referring to the glue line as to how you joint that edge. I suspect you use your table saw.
@@larryallbritton9168 He did say " how you’re getting the faces of your boards jointed flush enough for the edge grain glue ups without a planer". I definitely was using a planer in the video so that makes it confusing. Also saying clean the faces of the boards for an edge grain glue up. These board were mostly edge grain boards. If hes asking about the couple of face grain boards I cleaned those up with a festool block sander after running through the table saw. If he can respond and clarify what he meant I could respond better. Hope that helps.
Also haha, are you ripping everything to the wider initial width, then ripping the thinner strips from that stock?.finished boards around an inch thick? Thanks again
Yes and yes
Beautiful Boards, if you do not mind how many hours do you figure it took to make the 30 boards? Thank you Ron USCG RET MKC
About 3hrs a board
@@KrisDeVo Thank you
Hi Chris, how much do your cutting boards cost, what are the dimensions and what do they weight. I especially liked the ones that had a predominance of “Purple Heart”. Cheers Chris.
krisdevo.com
As my father would have said, don't use sand before after the knife work is done :-D :-D
Here meaning; "Don't put sand from the sandpaper into your planer!!.. Scrape of the glue before planing instead" :-D
Would a electric roaster work to heat and put your cutting broads in
Not sure im following ya. Put the cutting board into a roaster for what?
Kris, with you having done this for a number of batches now, what is your preferred method of board treatment? Mineral oil bath followed by howard butcher block (heated) wipe down? Or just howard butcher block heated bath? You talk about in some of your videos using a heat gun to apply the butcher block oil. It looked to me that you simply heated the howard oil in a pan and wiped it on? The heat gun was to avoid open flames around the hot oil?
Mineral oil and my board conditioner
where did you get your table saw insert?
Amazon
Are the glues safe for chopping food then consuming the salad/food. What kind of wood is the red?,like the color combinations.
Yes very. Titebond 3 glue is FDA approved for indirect food contact (cutting boards). Thanks!
The reddish-orange wood is padauk. (Pronounced “pad OOK”)
@@derrickwhite6507 Thanks! Looks like he edited and added that question. I didnt see it.
Kris, where do you buy your wood?
Hardware Specialties in Anchorage Alaska
Can you explain what you mean by a heated wipe down. I know this is probably a stupid question but.... If the shoe fits!
I heat up the Howards butcher block conditioner and apply it with a little heat with a heat gun so the waxes penetrate the wood.
It looks like you're using boards thicker than 3/4"...? I have a heck of a time finding anything thicker around here unless it's really REALLY rough sawn. Curious what you're starting out with.
Its called 4/4 but its more like 15/16"
@@KrisDeVo Ah, got it! Thanks so much!
Why don't you like putting Purpleheart and Padauk together in the cutting boards? Just personal preference or is there another reason?
That's funny you noticed! Yeah more of a personal preference thing. When I do put them together they do sell. I just feel they dont match well color wise and they look better being as a stand alone color in a board.
@@KrisDeVo They look amazing! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to a video on how you do the chaotic camo boards.
can you tell me what you mean when you do a hot wipe? thanks
I heat up the oil and wax in a pot and then use a heat gun when applying other coats.
How do you get the thin strips smooth without a drum sander?
Back then was a block sander and clean rips
What is a flush wood door?
Kris, where do you post these for sale?
I post them on Facebook and then just word of mouth.
Nice boards, whats the price of each Board?
Thanks $135
Do you also make end grain boards ?
I do yes. Have a batch coming up soon
