such a great video! I too am in frantic mode lol Christmas markets start today! Good luck Thomas! I had fun making charcuterie boards, board butter, over 50 snowmen my best sellers every week they sell out before noon starting in July. My hubby made stump base coffee tables, benches and reindeer. Our best sellers in Canada are the reindeer, snowmen, charcuterie boards and plain slabs of wood so people can make their own charcuterie boards. K better get back to the workshop xoxo Sandy
You made reference to the slab being worth more dried. I am assuming the slab is green. What moisture content are you looking at before you cut out the shapes and sand them down?
This board was around 12-14%, to properly dry 7 - 8% would be good for joinery projects. At 12 to 14% it's plenty dry for these boards. By keeping them oiled they remain stable.

Love that project I’m planning to do the same and love your design I’ll copy most of that very good design God bless
those boards where selling like candy near the 85$ mark this past weekend at the peter anderson festival in ocean springs!
Yup, I know
Nice work, brother!
Those look great.
what did you use to protect the walnut? I want to preserve the color and grain and protect it for hardy use? I hope you answer!!
PS my fave is still the duck head charcuterie board, thanks for the inspiration
Good work.
good morning friends have a good activity
If that's scrap, I'd love to see your non scrap walnut!!! I'm in Madison, MS btw. If you ever want to drop off some scrap wood let me know, lol
This is what I was thinking. "Scrap" is a pretty loose term

Cool stuff
Like to see the tables.or did we already?
I will post something on them. Making a few more today.
@@TCSawmills do you have to seal them with anything or good to go as is?
I seal with butcher block conditioner made by Howard's.
@@TCSawmills thanks! Just seen that in another one of your videos.
really like your boards - I'm curious about the saw blade you used on your jigsaw - is it an upcut blade or down cut blade
