Incredible End Grain on this Wormy Maple Cutting Board
A custom end grain cutting board I made for a close friend out of wormy maple.
Wormy Maple, or Ambrosia Maple, has a misleading name as the mineral streaks and color variations are actually caused by the Ambrosia Beetle. The beetle infests the live Maple tree, depositing larvae that bore small “worm holes” and discolour the wood to create unique patterns and streaks.
As usual I cut a lot of sanding from the video, but my process is to go from 80 - 320 grit in stages and then finish the edges by hand.
I ran the CNC 3 times initially to fine tune the speed to reduce burning in the juice groove, which would be a pain to sand out after.

Custom Shelf Brackets for Kids Room | Calvin & Hobbes, Little Mermaid, Last Unicorn, Winnie The Pooh
Переглядів 1753 роки тому
Quick video on some shelf brackets I made for my daughters room using the Glowforge. Really happy with how these turned out. Hopefully my kid grows to like the subject matter, but if not it will be easy to make new ones based on her interests. Not my best filming job, and I failed to get some good installation shots. Sorry about that! I will blame being a tired new parent on the poor effort, bu...
End Grain Cutting Board from Maple and Padauk
Переглядів 3,6 тис.3 роки тому
Two of my good friends recently got married and I offered to make them an end grain butcher block cutting board as a wedding present / house warming gift. They chose a striped design made from Maple and Padauk. The board is soaked in a mineral oil bath and then finished with a beeswax and mineral oil paste I make myself. I was lucky to source the beeswax from a local apiary in my town. PROJECT ...
Making a UV Curing Box for Resin Prints

In this video I make a UV curing box for my new resin printer. Sorry it's barely a woodworking project, but I thought some people might find it interesting regardless. I used 1/8" wood cut on my Glowforge for the box, but you could just use cardboard box or a plastic container. Acrylic mirrors come with adhesive backing and just stick to the box. UV lights are also attached with adhesive backin...
Checkered End Grain Cutting Board - Maple and Roasted Maple
Переглядів 10 тис.4 роки тому
A maple and roasted maple checker / chess style cutting board. This was commissioned by an old friend (Ogreman of Alexander) from back when I played too much FFXI. I was thrilled to make it for him and I'm happy with how it turned out. I've never had great luck aligning these style boards so the pattern is perfect, but this one turned out damn close! Maybe it's the new table saw, or maybe I've ...
Question Block Cutting Board | End Grain
Переглядів 4324 роки тому
Another pixel art cutting board! This time around I made the ? block from Super Mario cut from 256 pieces of wood. The background wood is maple, the dark wood is roasted maple, and the yellow is Pau Amarello. I wish the brown and yellow had a bit more contrast, but overall I am happy with how this turned out. Im thinking of donating this board as a prize for GDQ this year, but if you are intere...
Simple Sturdy Workbench for the new workshop
Переглядів 7635 років тому
New shop needs new workbenches! As the first of many I decided to copy Matthias Wandel's plans for his simple sturdy workbench. This is a great first work bench as you need nothing but a circular saw and drill. And really this could easily be done with a hand saw too. The bench is made from pine 2x4s and 2x8s. I attached the legs with glue and dowels for strength, but opted to just screw on the...
Simple Backyard Gate
Переглядів 3795 років тому
A friend of mine recently got a new puppy and asked me to make them a simple gate. Gate is pretty standard. Made from pressure treated lumber and decking screws. I had intended to mount it level with the rest of the fence, but the post bracket made it so the gate wouldn't open inwards. So its up a couple inches now. Less than ideal, but sometimes you gotta make do! I originally built it to open...

My entry into the 2018 krtwood secret santa. The end grain cutting board I had already made for a holiday craft show, so unfortunately I didn't get that filmed. I found some Hulk clipart online and converted into a vector using Inkscape. I then imported that into Carbide Create and cut out using a .125" Flat Cutter End Mill. This was the first time I tried out the 2 pieces of painters tape with...
Live Edge Charcuterie Board with Epoxy Inlay for Canada Day 🍁
Переглядів 7 тис.5 років тому
I wanted to try out some epoxy inlays and figured some charcuterie / cheese cutting boards would be a good way to experiment. And what better occasion than Canada Day! 🍁 I made the boards out of ambrosia maple. Since it has some voids I wouldn't recommend this for a daily use cutting board unless you made sure you got some solid pieces. But for something like a cheese board it will be fine and ...
Hub of the Hammer Sign

I wanted to surprise a friend of mine who runs an event planning business, Hub of the Hammer, with a sign he could display in his home/office. It was also a good excuse to test out my new Shapeoko 3 CNC and learn something new. I grabbed their logo and made it into a vector in Illustrator. I then imported it into Carbide Create and cut it out of MDF using a #112 .0625" Flat Cutter End mill. As ...

My good friend Andrew requested a sign so he could notify his neighbors of his viscous beast Bucket. Bucket is a a sweet heart so we went for something a little funny. The sign is made from pine. I bought some "shelf pine" from my local home centre, meant for shelving and it worked great. You just need to dig for some without a lot of knots. Design was done in Carbide Create. Sign was carved on...

Pixel Art Cutting Board - Mario Mushroom - End Grain
Переглядів 6 тис.7 років тому
A pixel art cutting board based on the iconic Mario Mushroom. The white is maple, black is walnut, and the red is padauk. As usual I skipped a lot of sanding. I sanded with the belt sander at 40 grit post glue up to smooth out the roughness, then more belt sander at 80 grit. I then moved onto the random orbit sander and went through 120, 220, and 300 grit pads. Finished with mineral oil. You ca...
