For wooden cutting boards, epoxy use is highly advised against primarily due to the prominent risks regarding sanitation and safe use. Wood is more likely to absorb bacteria over other materials. It has to be a food safe epoxy
My only problem with cutting boards with epoxy resin is that after a while you will start cutting parts out of the board, including the resin, which then gets in your food. I know you can get food safe but that's only the resin coming into contact with the food.
What or where do you look on amazon for the bundle of wood you used in this video All I ever find when I look on amazon is ether pine of pen blanks Thanks in advance if you could let me know
Beautiful designs and carving. Does the epoxy scratch very badly when people start using these to cut on? I've been hesitant to do any epoxy on the top of my cutting boards because I heard that it scratches pretty easily.
How many pieces of wood did you glue together in the beginning? I know that you get 15 pieces from Amazon but it looks like you used more than 5 for each board. Thanks! Once again your work is awesome. I am so jealous of all your shop tools.
@@OutlawWoodworking From the video there are at least 10 possibly 12 boards of each Maple - Walnut - Cherry. No way is that only 5 of each. 5 boards will not make the measurements used in Aspire. Just saying.
You do NOT want to run end grain through a planer. It will trash your knives and the wood. Best way to handle an end grain cutting board (I make a lot of them) is either surface with the CNC or belt sander. Even a drum sander does not work well.
Those look good! Nice work. Do your customers buy those for display, or is the epoxy you're using food safe? Those are the best looking cutting boards that I've ever seen.
@@OutlawWoodworking Food safe for serving - but not for cutting. I'll bet those have lots of knife marks, which means, resin is getting on the knife and also the food. Usually resin are more on charcutterie boards vs cutting boards.
I have an epoxy cutting board, I tend to flip it flat side up when/if I use it to cut food. I'm also going to be making some soon and will make sure my customers know to flip it over. The back half will be treated with food safe oil
I don't think we needed to see how the boards are made since you've done that. It would have been much better to share the epoxy inlay how-to in more detail.
Is it just me or is it REALLY hard to read the words? I'd recommend doing a 1/4 clearing bit, 1/8 clearing bit and then do a 30deg v-bit - you'd be able to read it picture perfectly.
Wow! What a cool idea thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!

NIce work... but why use a fluting toolpath for the juice groove instead of a profile cut with the Ball Nose bit? Thanks
probably work better with profile

You mentioned a site where you sell your cutting boards. Do you have the link for that?
i mostly was giving them away to family and friends ,i closed the store
Whatt'up. Like it. interesting ~ Outlaw- )
Thanks
Check it out for yourself, but epoxy on cutting boards is not a safe option. A better option would be contrasting wood inlays.
What system of cutting you are using for inlay.
90 degree 1502 v bit from whiteside
Do you do any pre treatment for epoxy bleed?
Not for the cutting boards the wood is hard , but if I do big live edge tables I’ll seal them first to keep out the bubbles

It will scratch just like the wood , thanks for nice comment
I would not use it to cut stuff, it would be a display board for cheese and meat. I thought about using the other side, but the feet are there.
@@cathymyers7831 I could make one without feet 🦶 if you want

Pamplemousse grill

Or use a much more translucent epoxy color to see the underlying detail better.
Though a mask was needed for your lungs ?
Always a good idea to
