Watching intensly with the nice music playing at the 15 min. mark, seeing the oil pour over the boards , there coming to life. What a feeling! Been there. Well done video.
As a former Woodshop teacher whose students created hundreds of cutting boards, I think this is simply wonderful! I differ on a couple of points, I use a small chamfer on the top and a much larger chamfer on the bottom to ease picking it up. In addition, I have also used a router and a 3/4" round bit to put a finger groove on each side! I NEVER use rubber legs because that limits use to one side! Your finish is absolutely superb and will result in a strong, durable and safe finish! Yes, I am stealing your recipe and will be using it. It seems like a much better coating than just mineral oil and safer than boiled lindseed oil. Kudos to you!
These videos are excellent for making cutting boards. Your techniques, tools and steps are well explained and shown, totally enjoy watching and learning. Thanks Jacob.
Out of all the channels I watch in regards to this topic, this is the most rewarding for me, I just feel good after watching these, your location and calm manner is so needed at this stage of our lives. Thank you so much...
Thanks for your comments, that really means a lot. Woodworking has been a really positive force in my life over the past couple of years, and I am happy to share the journey and the things I've learned. I hope to share a few different video creations down the road, and let this channel grow organically, Take care!
This turned out amazing, I love it. As a mostly metric girl, the 2 and 2/16 measurement threw me for a sec, as I can usually convert from memory, and this wasn't a usual woodworking measurement I hear, haha, but thankfully my brain woke up!
I really like how you weren’t afraid to use the rare 2 & 2/16” over the more popular 2 & 1/8”, but I wouldn’t expect any less of a man willing to design in a landscape style! All kidding aside, I have gotten to where I can recognize your videos just by seeing the picture of the board in the thumbnail, and in the land of end grain board makers, to have your’s be instantly recognizable speaks volumes about your design and craftsmanship. Great video as well Jacob, though I’ve come to expect nothing less.. I just hope that sometime after the holidays I will get the chance to spend a few days in Asheville, and just maybe you’ll have a few free minutes you’ll be able to set aside to talk shop and show a fan (and fellow woodworker) around.
Hey Chris!! I like to keep it fresh and mix in some unconventional measurement wisdom, it keeps the door open for great comments!! Let me know when your in the area, I hope you have a great Holiday Season!
Bonjour. Je regarde toutes vos vidéos et je tiens à vous féliciter pour ces réalisations. juste une petite question. Pourquoi ne branchez vous pas l'aspirateur à copeaux sur votre défonceuse lorsque vous utilisez votre traineau ? Merci pour votre retour. ( j'ai beaucoup de mal à trouver des planches en noyer en France et surtout d'en trouver qui soient aussi sombres que les vôtres !!) Bravo et merci.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative. One thought that I have is when I cut my finger groove I shape it circular so a plate can slide under. This makes a great way to slide cut or prep food right onto a plate without dropping on counter or table. Just my take. FYI: my son and I are just starting up our official business so your experience is appreciated. We will be waiting to see what you do next. Cheers
I really like the cutout for a plate idea, whenever I make circle boards I always do circle handles but never thought using them as a feature, thanks for the tip! I wish you and your son all the best on your woodworking endeavors, stay safe and let the sawdust fly!
Amazing creation. Wonderful editing. Great explanations. You are by far my favorite person on RUclips. I just ordered a bigger table saw and a drum sander to expand my creations. Taking lots of inspiration from your work. Thanks for the content.
Thats so cool and exciting!! I basically locked myself in my shop for a solid year and just made cutting boards. I found a lot of joy and Tranquility there. I am sure the new equipment with help tremendously! One tip with the drum sander is to make light passes, when I first got mine I struggled to find the sweet spot. I also find I primarily use 80 and 100 grit, and its alot cheaper if you buy it on a roll and cut it yourself. Thanks for your comments and I wish you all the best on your woodworking endeavors!! 🙌
Well done! I feel the same way about making cutting boards. I like to exercise my creativity when I making something and I try my best to make them unique everytime. Really enjoyed the video and I hope you keep at it. I'm about to retire from the Air Force and I'm looking to start my own little side husttle soon. Keep up the creativity!
Thanks! It's amazing how much fun making these little rectangles can be and how challenging it is to come up with unique designs. Its great way to stay creative, make sawdust and make some money at the same time! Thanks for your service my friend!
I want to make an end grain board but I’m terrible about estimating how many BF i need to make stuff like these and will prices the way the are in my area, I don’t really want to waste any wood. Any recommendations for a board like this?
I really liked the process of your work and the great result. I have a question and I await your honest answer, why do you spray water on the wood and what is the benefit. Thank you I'm Julio from Canada
A beautiful pare of Sisters! Well done. Loved the idea of adding the wax while it's hot. Definitely gonna try that. Thanks again for another enjoyable build. 👍
Thanks! I don't always apply the wax hot but if Im making a fresh batch of board conditioner and there are a few boards lying around I'll give them a coat. 🙌
Wonderful work. I don't have a drum sander. Is there something that I can do instead when it comes to the second time you sanded. The cross cut pieces after the glue up?
Absolutely! Some things can be taught through videos but there's nothing like going through the process on your own. Its a great way to continually improve your woodworking skills, I amazed at how many tools are needed to make one of these! Happy building!! 🙌
Hi Jacob. Your channel really inspired me and I already made / copied some of your board. I would like to learn this style as well. Coul you just share how many different widths you cut in the first step. Did you just freehand this of did you have a exact width that you cut each type of wood. How many different widths did you cut? I also assume you don’t rotate all the pieces before the first glue up right? So the pieces remain in the same orientation as before the first cutting
Your boards look great. I'm just starting. Is there a reason your finger grips are open to the bottom of the board rather than in the center of the board? I'm experimenting with a 3/4' finger groove vs a 1 1/4' finger grove centred in a 8/4 end grain board.
Thank you sir! By far the best video I've seen on building a cutting board. Your attention to detail and explanation of your process has made it so much easier for me to complete this type of project. I know what my dozen Christmas presents (instead of gift cards) will be in 2022. Thanks again, well worth my time watching you build these. Of course mine will be different from yours, but will be in-line with your boards. Confusion and order in the same piece of art. Well Done!
I really appreciate the feedback! These are certainly labors of love and make the best kinds of gifts, something to be enjoyed on a daily basis and for years to come. Best of luck of your future builds 🙌
Another awesome video. Your creativity simply blows me away. You are definitely one of a kind. A Master in designing boards. I like how you design them portrait and landscape. Looking forward to more of your work in the future. Like Clint Eastwood said. Go ahead and make my day.:)
Appreciate that Wayne!! Its really amazing how different the design can look in each orientation and I figured alot of people may not know that's even a thing. I hope to put out a couple more videos by the end of the year, So you gotta ask yourself "Do you feel Lucky"
As always awesome build brother. You inspire me to start making cutting boards for a small business, though I started so far with edge grain. I hope to make my 1st end grain soon. Keep sharing your craft brother. Love from the Philippines❤
Awesome! I started with edge grain as well and its a great way to get accustom to the building process, but once I realized the design possibilities with endgrain are infinite I pretty much just make these now. They also do test your woodworking skills and patience a little more, always a worthy endeavor!! Wish you all the best, Jacob 🙌
how to you prvent lines from happeing when using your drum sander. Every time I use my drum sander with either 80 or 220 grit, i always get lines in my board which make me have to hand sand with 60 all the way back to 220 grit.
Lines from the drum sander are normal, although I wish it would produce finished results. My process is to sand up to 100 grit on the drum sander, then drop back down to 80 grit on the orbital sander, moving up to 220.
I love this pattern. Thank you for sharing so much detail openly. Are you using 4/4 or 5/4 material. It looks like you’re using 4/4. I’ve got 5/4 cherry and maple to do this design. What would be the different length of the sticks or would I still use 24”? Thanks
Hey Mike, on this board I am using 4/4 material but 5/4 will definitely work just fine. I would still cut them at 24 inches, it always nice to have a little extra just in case some pieces have unseen defects in them, this happens a lot when working with walnut.
Beautiful work my brother. I have made a lot of cutting boards and just recently I have started making end grain boards. I usually make them five quarters and six quarters thick. I love the way the six quarters feel. It's a nice solid feeling board. I was planning on making my next board seven quarters. Now you have me wanting to make a eight quater one. I love everything about your videos. Nice shop and beautiful scenery. It looks like a little piece of heaven there.
The boat was the best Goodwill find of my life 😁 I researched the brand name and found out these boats were from the 80's and sold as kits, and you would assemble them. They even have motors and a remote control, I haven't put in the water but feel like it would pass the test and Not Sink.
Hello and thank you for inspiring me to buy a drum sander after I saw your videos I ordered one and it came today. Just one quick question what grit sandpaper do you use on your drum sander? I just put my sander together and it seems like it came with 60 grit it is very rough finish what would you recommend?
Congrats on your new sander! I normally use 80 grit to get things flat and then move up to 100 grit, orbital sander after that. The trick is light passes through the drum sander, try not to take to much material at a time. I also found that buying sandpaper on a roll and cutting it yourself saves a lot of money.
I may have overlooked this in the video or comments but I was wondering when you did the flatting jig with the router you used two different styles. Will both do the same or is one better than the other? I have not built a router flatting jig yet and think I could use one as my Delta Planner will on plan 13". Great video and instruction. Boards are amazing.
I only use one flattening jig the other may have been for the juice groove. I am hoping to do a video soon that will cover more in depth the jigs I use, especially the flatting jig.
Awesome job buddy! They look great! But I have a question: after your first glue up, when youvstarted cross cutting your strips, you said you cut your pieces at 2 & 2/16". Isn't that 2 & 1/8?
I like your flatten jig and finger hold jig. I’m going have to make those. The only thing you didn’t add to your list of things you used were the tins you used to put your board oil in. Can you share where you purchased those please? Thanks & nice work. Clete (Conk WoodWorking)
Excellent work I’m a big fan keep up the good work. Question when you cut the strips how wide do you cut them is it random sizes or do you have a specific size?
On this board I cut everything at random widths but nothing bigger than 1/2" This board board is a lot of fun to make and will come out slightly different each time, 🙌
Hello, your work is excellent and I deal with wood a bit, I tried to flatten the board in the same way, but I was torn by wood, so I'm interested in which blade you use?
Beautiful as always. Thanks for the tip on the hot wax application and also the board butter recipe. How much of the essential oil did you add to the mix?
Not very much and it probably isn't a necessity but if your looking for a little scent it's not a bad idea. Also there 's a small list of essential oils that are considered "food grade" Lemon oil (Citrus limon) is one of them, just something to note.
Love your work! Hope you have a minute to help me out. Recently made first end grain cutting board. Walnut and maple checker board. I raised the grain once (should I have done more?) during sanding after 180 grit then sanded again with 220. After applying mineral oil and butcher block conditioner I used it and when I washed it the grain popped up again. Any help, hints or tricks would be appreciated. Should I have raised the grain more than once before oiling it? Thanks for your time
Just out of curiosity what species wood is it? One water pop should be sufficient as long as the board is well saturated. The steps you took are along the same lines as what I would do, so I am not totally sure what happened.
Believe it or not yes, I did have a couple of extra pieces left over, I could have made it go farther if I scaled the thickness down to 1.5" instead of 2"
Love your work as always! I’m not sure if someone else asked but you said you cut the initial strips at different widths, do you remember what sizes those were?
Hey man, great job, just look absolutely fantastic. Couple questions, do you always sand all glue joints prior to glue up? Also can you link to the router bit you use for your flattening jig? Thanks!
I do like to sand all the pieces before each glue up, for me it insures a clean finished board, not seeing any glue lines makes a big difference. If you don't have a drum sander you can run them through a planer, just allow for snipe. I have a link for the bit I use at the bottom 🙌
Love the way you narrate these. I am so calm right now :D
Watching intensly with the nice music playing at the 15 min. mark, seeing the oil pour over the boards , there coming to life. What a feeling! Been there. Well done video.
Beautiful work. Those boards look absolutely amazing. And thank you for your recipe on your finishing wax.

Thanks so much Eddy! I almost scraped this build a few times, I am glad I didn't.
@@thewoodplank4376 great
What a joy to watch.
Can you tell us the width of the strips you used? You said, thin?, med?, and thick? Like 1/2,3/4, and 1”? Beautiful going to try it
Gorgeous final product and excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Hello friend, it was very top, my congratulations, I'm from Brazil and your video arrived here
I am glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching!! 🙌
Beautiful boards. 👍👍
Dude, excelent job. Great imagination a professional finishing. Thanks from a panamanian.

This turned out amazing, I love it. As a mostly metric girl, the 2 and 2/16 measurement threw me for a sec, as I can usually convert from memory, and this wasn't a usual woodworking measurement I hear, haha, but thankfully my brain woke up!
Unconventional is my forte! 😁 I try to go with the grain when woodworking but against it in most other areas.
@@thewoodplank4376 A man after my own heart, I even try to think outside the box in my woodwork, unfortunately wood demands precision, haha!
Great video. Thanks, Al
Beutiful work, from brazil 👍👍🇧🇷

I may have overlooked this in the video or comments but I was wondering when you did the flatting jig with the router you used two different styles. Will both do the same or is one better than the other? I have not built a router flatting jig yet and think I could use one as my Delta Planner will on plan 13". Great video and instruction.

Great work. What bit do you use for the handholds? Thx
I use a Bosch straight bit, the trick is to start at the edge of the board and work your way in.
Awesome job buddy! They look great! But I have a question: after your first glue up, when youvstarted cross cutting your strips, you said you cut your pieces at 2 & 2/16". Isn't that 2 & 1/8?
You are correct, just seeing who's paying attention 😁
I like your flatten jig and finger hold jig. I’m going have to make those.
The only thing you didn’t add to your list of things you used were the tins you used to put your board oil in. Can you share where you purchased those please? Thanks & nice work. Clete (Conk WoodWorking)
Fixed and added!! Thanks 🙌
Great looking boards! It was also nice to see all your jigs throughout the process.
Thanks! As you can see you don't need anything fancy to make it work, these are the first jigs I made and they still get it done.
What does the carnauba wax do?
Wow! You really do nice work, very impressive. You must have been doing this for a while. Do you ever use epoxy in a cutting board?
Very nice. What is the warmer you use, a crock pot?
A good ole fashioned crock pot, picked it up from The Goodwill for a couple of bucks.
Excellent work I’m a big fan keep up the good work. Question when you cut the strips how wide do you cut them is it random sizes or do you have a specific size?
On this board I cut everything at random widths but nothing bigger than 1/2" This board board is a lot of fun to make and will come out slightly different each time, 🙌
Hello, your work is excellent and I deal with wood a bit, I tried to flatten the board in the same way, but I was torn by wood, so I'm interested in which blade you use?
I use an Infinity Tools Mega Dado blade to flatten my boards, Great Bit!!

Beautiful as always. Thanks for the tip on the hot wax application and also the board butter recipe. How much of the essential oil did you add to the mix?
Not very much and it probably isn't a necessity but if your looking for a little scent it's not a bad idea. Also there 's a small list of essential oils that are considered "food grade" Lemon oil (Citrus limon) is one of them, just something to note.
Love your work! Hope you have a minute to help me out. Recently made first end grain cutting board. Walnut and maple checker board. I raised the grain once (should I have done more?) during sanding after 180 grit then sanded again with 220. After applying mineral oil and butcher block conditioner I used it and when I washed it the grain popped up again. Any help, hints or tricks would be appreciated. Should I have raised the grain more than once before oiling it? Thanks for your time
Just out of curiosity what species wood is it? One water pop should be sufficient as long as the board is well saturated. The steps you took are along the same lines as what I would do, so I am not totally sure what happened.
Walnut & maple
Looked like you had 4 boards glued up after the first glue up. Did all of that go into these two boards? Both of these boards look amazing. Well done.
Believe it or not yes, I did have a couple of extra pieces left over, I could have made it go farther if I scaled the thickness down to 1.5" instead of 2"
What widths did you use for the strips? This is gorgeous!
good video job! I don't think most people know the time you put into this.
I appreciate that! It's amazing how much time it takes to make an endgrain board in general, they certainly are labors of love ......... and pain 😁

Love your work as always! I’m not sure if someone else asked but you said you cut the initial strips at different widths, do you remember what sizes those were?
I actually don't have exact measurements for these strips, I usually just cut them at random widths. Anywhere between 1/8th and 7/8ths should work.
Hey man, great job, just look absolutely fantastic. Couple questions, do you always sand all glue joints prior to glue up? Also can you link to the router bit you use for your flattening jig? Thanks!
I do like to sand all the pieces before each glue up, for me it insures a clean finished board, not seeing any glue lines makes a big difference. If you don't have a drum sander you can run them through a planer, just allow for snipe. I have a link for the bit I use at the bottom 🙌
