There's a lot of naysayers about using red oak for a cutting board. You know, you'll die of bacteria because it's open porous. Well, I've paid for a home, sent 3 daughters to college, bought vehicles and paid cash for everything and we have no debt. Oak and syp cutting boards have been part of our 75 year old custom woodworking business for 75 years and out of those 75 years, no one got sick or died from using either wood. We use 80% hand tools. Great video and thanks for sharing.
I have some dry oak from a pallet I could edge glue and make this work. The grove could be done with a regular chisel then the edges rounded over with a scraper. God bless you and your family. Thanks for showing your work. Love the sound of a sharp blade in the plane. So satisfying.
so nice to see the word cutting board without the words end grain attached. i made a chopping board but it was a failure, i ended going back to using an axe.
Great video, thanks! I’m a beginner with a small collection of hand tools and I appreciate the simplicity (not to be confused with easy) of this project.
well done. nice project. good ambience. Very good to just see the process without much commentary/explanation, but yet get the opportunity with those other videos. Thanks.
Thank you James. Beautiful cutting board. That was some nice gouge work on the groove. Oh! and you forgot to file and shape the teeth on side that's why it was cutting so poorly.
Don't let people give you a hard time about flipping the board around to have the grain going a couple directions...honestly, sometimes that is the best way to get the boards to look good together, or to hide the glue joint...the wood tells you which way is going to look best & sometimes you have to work around that.
I do not start many fires, but I do have a small box for some of them. if the shavings stay clean and do not mix with other trash, I dump them in the woods out back. if not they go in the trash.
Different grain directions in a glued board is such a PITA. But you handled it perfectly! Any experience with flamed maple? I would love to hear about how to plane this fabulous wood.
@@WoodByWright Gotcha! I'm a new woodworker and don't have the skillset to even attempt endgrain - I've just always heard that red oak isn't good for cutting boards. I knew white oak was fine as that's what boats were built out of long ago. Great channel and I wish I had the space like you do to make.
Red oak is perfectly fine. when people say that they're more or less saying that some woods are better than others but in all honesty they're all pretty similar. To say that you shouldn't use one wood over another general is being way too picky.
When I batch thing, I use power tools. When I work for myself, I use hand tools and enjoy it much more. Nice gouge work!
So true. Congrats on first!

Oooh, a blood grove! Always thought it was decorative. Now that I know what it is, I can use it properly when cutting meat! 🤣
That was more soothing to watch than your midweek video. Was the complete plane, surface & carve too.
Yep. This channel is all about the soothing relaxing videos. The other channel focuses on the education.

I learned a lot just watching you work on it. Thanks

Work with what you got, or as we say in North Carolina, “Dance with who brung ya.” - Great work, Jimbo!
I enjoy watching this guy enjoy his woodworking. simple pleasures.

Beautiful work, James! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wonderful! It was a great pleasure to watch, thanks!
Nice work James
What's the plane you're using at the start? It looked to be all metal
that is a Stanley 40 scrub plane. it is designed to take a lot off quickly.
Just beautiful! ❣️❣️❣️
When you're sharpening your gouges do you use leather on a dowel or something to strop the inside of the cutting edge too?
I just fold the leather over and run it on that. There's nothing on the back of the leather.

What wood is it?
White oak. one of my favorites!
@@WoodByWright Thanks!
As That great philosopher Bullwinkle the Moose said, “Let me buffun up my sleeve”
I see those drill stops in the back
I'm curious, what do you do with all the wood shavings? Do you use it to start fires? lol
I do not start many fires, but I do have a small box for some of them. if the shavings stay clean and do not mix with other trash, I dump them in the woods out back. if not they go in the trash.
Hi matey what wood was it or did I miss that.Tim in U.K.beautiful by the way
This was White oak. one of my favorites!
@@WoodByWright cheers matey.will be making one ☝️
A lot of work but looks great

Oh I love that stuff. So amazing with a bit of oil seeing that red pop.
I thought you shouldn't use BLO on food surfaces?
If it is homemade then there are no chemical driers in it. It is just heated flax oil.
Is that red oak? Too porous for cutting boards I thought. Beautiful gouge work though!
It is White oak not red oak. All woods are porous. And this is less porous than an endgrain cutting board and maple.

Amazing! Learn to slow down!
👍👍👍👍
Thumbs down because if it isn't even good at cutting why did you put a blood groove on it?!?! 😛
Still not asmr
Just sighing and yawning does not make asmr- it’s something specific
Great video otherwise tho 😊
