Hi there, new to the channel but really interested in your technique with these cutting boards. Great work. Don't give up! I loved watching this and I am subscribed and I hope you keep making great artwork like these.
I still make cutting boards but I rarely make videos of the process - it is basically the same thing I do, only with varying woods and patterns :) Thanks for your kind words.
After 50 years working around a table saw, I finally got my thumb to close to the blade. Was cutting strips for an end grain cutting board and bam, 5 stitches later. I was damn lucky I got off so easy. Always enjoy your videos.
It came as a surprise to me too that there was so little difference. Mind you, both these boards are end grain - I suspect there will be a more noticable difference on face-grain boards
I do not know the specific kind but I used the pieces with the tightest grain, I had on hand. I work almost exclusively with reclaimed/repurposed wood so I do not always know what woods I use. Sorry that I can't be more helpful but it is almost two years since I made the boards in the video and I no longer recall every detail.
I think you have a valid point because we all believe in what we hear 🧐, maybe the only thing I can think of is if the pine is softer & the cut deeper the chance of meat getting engrained into a softer wood 🧐 ok 👌 end grain is also soft so I think you’ve made an achievement here 👍
We often hear something that we then just accept as fact but sometimes it is worthwhile to check the facts. I don't have instruments or other to measure if knife cuts are in fact deeper in pine than in oak end grain but from what I could see, there was little or no difference.
Thank you for this! I have pine laying around and google kept telling me it wasn't suitable wood. Now I'll just go ahead and make it anyway!
Those are beautiful! Nice job!
Thank you so much. Compared to some of the other boards I have made, these are rather basic but I agree, they are still beautiful.

I wish you a speedy and full recovery and I am happy it was "only" a minor cut.
How has the pine cutting board held up over time so far?
It held up pretty well but to be honest, I haven't used it much - I have so many cutting boards to choose from than none get much use :)
I like the fact that there is little difference as getting pine is easier for me.

Nice. Can l ask what kind of pine do you use?

Did you use a hardner on the pine? I have a ton of pallet wood I'm going to repurpose and thought I could use it for a cutting board.
No, I did not use a hardener - I just picked the densest pieces I had on hand, those with the tightest grain.
Good xperiment, thank you
