Beautiful cutting board. I have been amazed at the wonderful things that were built during this challenge. And God bless on the little one. Making furniture and other things for my children have been some of my favorite projects.
Well thanks to Steve Carmichael and 2015 Kitchen Utensil Challenge I saw your Utensil Organizer video. I was intrigued by it and I'll watch more of your videos later; oh and yes, I did subscribe. God bless Sarah and I look forward to seeing the crib.
Hey Tim. I just found your channel. 3 things. Thing 1: Congratulations on your baby girl! I hope she is doing well. Thing 2: where in the world did you get that glue roller that fits on your glue bottle? Thing 3: awesome cutting board, I'm just getting into it myself.
+2x4Dad Thanks for watching! My daughter is doing great lately and just started walking! The glue bottle roller came from a glue applicator kit I bought from Rockler. It came with its own smaller bottle, bit will also screw right onto Titebond bottles... It's great to hear you are getting into the craft! I wish you happy adventures in your woodworking.
+Roshawn Sims That would make a beautiful table. For a small table, I wouldn't think any extra support would be necessary. However, if you are going to make a large table that might be under some stress and have heavy things placed on top. I would make sure to have good support underneath not to rely on all of that end-grain to end-grain glue up. I've never had a failure with any cutting boards, but they haven't had anyone stand on them or anything... You might have sparked an idea for something I might have to try in a future video... ;)
Great video but I’ve seen on another video that you shouldn’t use spalted wood for chopping boards as it’s a fungus that causes it . I’m going to attempt to make one myself I’m a complete beginner is spalted wood ok to use
Yes, once the board is Kiln dried, there isn't any fungus continuing to grow. I've never had any issues as long as the board isn't soft and starting to rot...
Timothy, The cutting board looks great and I'm glad I got to see how you make the Chevron pattern. this is one I was asking about on the Summers Woodworking Show. thank you for joining the challenge and for putting together a video on this very cool design cutting board. Regards, Bob
I love the board that you made. I heard you mention that some of it was spalted wood. I love the look of spalting in wood. However, spalting is a fungus and for that reason, I've never used it in a cutting board. Have you had any issues with food in contact with spalted wood?
Dig your style, love the logo, I cannot wait to see more, I am a fan already. I cannot wait for some of the builds you are talking about! Congrats on your daughter! I will keep her in my thoughts, good luck to your family from mine.
Great work. I've got a huge stock of wood that needs to be batched out into cutting boards. How do you find out about challenges such as this one? I would like to get involved in the future. -Todd
cool board. Did you say spalted maple? Is it not too soft for cutting on? Our youngest baby turned 1 today. Crazy that your baby is 1 year & a month but wasn't originally due till April. :) happy late birthday to Sarah.
+James Mossett III Spalted maple comes in many forms. Often people find it in very soft and flaky form that is almost rotten like... The type of Spalted Maple I use is super hard. Basically, it's where the tree recovered and just stained it not causing any rot. This wood is just as solid as any hard maple, I wouldn't use anything less. Oh, and thanks for the birthday wishes for Sarah! :)
+Bill Davis Purpleheart ends up brown when you cut and sand it, but it will purple back up over time. Especially if you expose it to the sun for some time.
Only yesterday did it my way I think it worked today will finish and once you are ready send a picture to you ok at the outset thank you, there is something else how long you leave the taboo dipped in mineral olio.
+Luiz Antonio I leave it in mineral oil about 30 minutes. Then let it drip dry for about an hour. Then soak again for about 15 minutes. Then let it drip dry again for a couple hours before applying mineral oil/beeswax.
Woodworking Maniak absolutely, I’m just jealous! I just started in woodworking. I made my own aquarium stand and got hooked. I was just a little disheartened from your video in seeing all the tools I still would like to get, ha.
HI! i like your video ~can i ask some question ? I had made a cutting board but when i oil the board i found that board has 1.distortion/Uneven and had many 2.little hole on the surface i try use titebond glue/super glue/ AB glue to full the hole but the color is not the same and when i Polished the glue part it's will become white >
Vinnie Charity Spalted woods can often be brittle and soft. However, every now and then spalted maple can be found to be still solid as a rock. This stuff is rock hard just like regular hard maple and good to be used as whatever you'd want to use it for. :)
Don't get me wrong, I love spalted maple, but wouldn't it be bad for a cutting board being that it's actually mold in the wood? Great looking board by the way!!!
Vinnie Charity Typically, the fungus is only around when it's soft and brittle. That's what is actually deteriorating the wood to make it so soft in the first place. As hard as this stuff is, it's not even fungus... It's just a stained mark left behind by the fungus that WAS growing when the tree was alive. Basically, two different types of spalted woods that should have different names because they have completely different characteristics.
Very cool, and thanks for the explanation. I found a piece of spalted maple in the ditch of all places. I'm waiting for it to dry so I can machine it down to use it. Might go in my next cutting board...
Vinnie Charity So, to answer your concern. Yes, it would be a bad idea to use spalted wood that was soft and spongy feeling. One because, it would make a bad cutting board anyway, and two because there might be fungus still present. But the wood I was using was completely different... If it's as hard as normal maple, you shouldn't have any concerns.
+Tony This was my first UA-cam video I produced. I appreciate your input. I did use TiteBond III glue. The Center Maple is 3-5/8" wide. Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that. Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those. Then 1-1/4" Walnut on each side of that. and Finally 1-5/8" Ash.
what kind of brush do you use on your paint roller when applying glue? i just tried to do this using the only painter roller i had around, and the brush seemed to just suck up most of the glue and not spread it around very well. thanks for the video!
+Danny Cruz I'm actually using a rubber roller from Rockler and screws right onto a Titebond bottle. It was part of a kit I bought along time ago. It works great! I do recommend rinsing it off after use instead of letting glue dry on roller. Search for item 57361 via wwmaniak.com/rockler
Hi Tim, Awesome job! - Can you tell me the brand of that melting pot you have? - I want to finish my boards like that as well. - Can you tell me the ratio of Mineral Oil to Beeswax? - Thank You!
Awesome job! Were you using tightbond II and how long did you let it sit before you started cutting on it again? I know you said a few of hours but could you give a more specific time? I usually allow 24 hours before I stress the joints.
+Zack Conoly First off: Thank you! I use Titebond III for my cutting boards. It's a waterproof glue that tends to hold up better for cutting boards. I let the glue dry for about two to three hours before moving to the next cut. Because these are not "stressed" joints, there is no risk of breaking it apart... Example: If I was making a chair, I wouldn't sit in it for at least 24 hours. Before dipping it in oil, I typically let the final glue-up dry overnight. Because, adding oil causes it to expand a little which could be considered stressing the bond. I've made MANY cutting boards. The one in this video was a gift to my wife. She uses it daily. I only waited a couple hours because of making the video. It's holding up just fine... ;)
+Jdsjcdnvdnvdnvd Yes, it is a fungus growing while the tree is alive. Basically, what it leaves behind when the lumber is milled and kiln dried is just stains. Sometimes, it damages the wood to the point that the wood is super soft and unusable. What I use is just as hard and stable as regular hard maple.
Great board, thanks for sharing. Love the incra set up, looking at one myself but difficult to get here in Australia with a reasonable shipping cost. All the very best for your new team member, you must be super proud. Could i ask, what is your ratio for mineral oil / bees wax as i am just experimenting with this myself. Many thanks in advance, Simon
Hey really nice design on the board ( looks great) Also congrats on the new addition to you family. Couple of questions about your process? # 1 It seems like you are jointing the end grain to prep for the second is that what i am seeing. How is it possible to do this safely with out fear of the strips coming apart . Just concerned that some less experienced folks with lots of enthusiasm might go out and try this with less optimal results or possibly injury. Any ones experience with end grain jointing would be educational ( ie WHY TO OR NOT TO JOINT END GRAIN) For me jointing end grain is taboo. Right up there with ripping through loose knots ( they become wood missiles) or short shaky boards ( they can split and kick hard , I did this yesterday and was a real eye opener for me Also my first kickback on the 5 horse powermatic saw Do not want that ever again.) #2 what kind of glue do you use and how will a end grain to endgrain board hold up over time. Anyone looking to learn more about cutting board production as well as design should check out mtmwood
Cass Bartlett Thanks for watching and for the congrats. #1 As for the jointing of the end-grain. Yes, I did it in that video. However, the grain was at a 15 degree angle... So when I brought it to the jointer, I made sure that I had the angle going back away from the blades. Also, I was only taking about a thousandth off. Just barely shaving it. If it was end-grain directly vertical, it probably would have chipped out towards the end. Without support, vertical end-grain going through jointer or planer will chip out or sometimes explode just about every time... #2 For all my cutting boards, I always use Titebond 3. I have never had any issues with end-grain to end-grain. You just have to make sure you have enough glue for it to soak up. End-Grain is thirsty. I agree, mtmwood has some great videos on here. I'd recommend everyone to go watch!
Great design and step by step illustrations! I just did one for a gift using Paduk, Walnut, purple heart, cherry and Maple. I now have two more requests--Thanks again for sharing your projects.
Tim. love the chevron. I was watching your video and would stop it to try and read your numbers on incra. It looks like 3" 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 2, and 3/4 Are these the correct width of your strips? I would like to duplicate your cutting board. Good work
I'm totally mesmerized by your wall of clamps. What is the make and model of your table saw? The fence configuration is awesome! Excellent video and beautiful finished product.
+Jason Cocklin Thanks for watching! My Clamp wall has built up over the years... Can't ever have too many clamps. My table saw is an old Jet right-tilt cabinet saw. I upgraded the fence to the Incra TS-LS Joinery system a few years back. It was the best investment I ever made. I absolutely love that fence system! If you buy one, let them know I sent ya! ;)
Let me welcome your daughter , I work for a program that deals with newborns and their mothers. Babies are our future, I'm proud to have 4 grandkids myself. Keep making videos thanks for sharing
I have been down this road you are on now. My son was 12 weeks early and was 2lbs. 3ozs. March of dimes does a lot with premature babies and there families. They may be able to help you and your wife with finding resources in your area. Also if you haven't selected a pediatrician for your daughter yet, try to find one that has a background in treating premature babies.
djonesy597 Thank you. We haven't looked at March of Dimes, I'll check that out. We will be assigned a pediatrician to follow up with here at this hospital. We will still need to find one local in our town.
Beautiful board. Cant wait to get a jointer so I can start making cutting boards and such. Best health wishes for the munchkin. I work with nicu babies in radiology, they're tough little souls.
You are very talented and this cutting board is amazing. Best of luck with your baby girl, hope she is doing well, I just had a son that was born in April as well!
Congrats on the baby girl. those 15 degree cuts and the timber selection make the difference between a standard board and an amazing looking cutting board. Great video too keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more. Thanks mate.
Very nice! You make it look so easy. I know there is a lot work involved when making those cutting boards. Great 3 dimensional look at 0:19. Looks like the cutting board has waves in it. Great video.
Nice job on the cutting board. The challenge is how I found your video. Plan to see what else ya got. Congratulations on the addition and glad to hear she's doing well as a premie. Hope she comes home soon.
HI I ENJOY WATCHING THE CUTTING BOARD SHOW, I HAVE MADE A FEW BOARDS. HOWEVER MOST SHOWS DO NOT TELL YOU THE LENGTH OF STRIPS OR THE WIDTH OF THE STRIPS, THE ONLY MEASUREMENT I HEARD FROM YOU WAS 15 DEGREES. PLEASE SEND ME THE MEASUREMENTS. I WILL BE WATCHING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS
+BRIAN ANDREWS The main glue-up was around 11 5/8" x 30" and I made the first cut at 15°. Then I cut each strip 2" wide. The final board ended up being about 11 1/4" x 16" Thanks for watching!
+WoodworkingManiak HI TIM, BRIAN AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF EACH BOARD, MAPLE WALNUT CHERRY .IE 2",4",1/2" I CANNOT READ YOUR TABLE SAW SETTINGS. THANKS AGAIN. BRA.
+BRIAN ANDREWS HI TIM, BRIAN AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF EACH BOARD, MAPLE WALNUT CHERRY .IE 2",4",1/2" I CANNOT READ YOUR TABLE SAW SETTINGS. THANKS AGAIN. BRA.
+BRIAN ANDREWS Sorry, I was away from my shop until now and didn't have the piece available to measure... The Center Maple is 3 5/8" wide. Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that. Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those. Then 1 1/4" Walnut on each side of that. and Finally 1 5/8" Ash.
Congratulation with new family member :) Thank you a lot for sharing. Can you please tell some more about What kind of mineral oil and for how long and waxing finish?
Hossein Hayati Thank you for watching! You cannot use too much mineral oil, nor can you oil to often. It should be applied anytime the board appears to be looking dry. The mineral oil is what provides the board a protective barrier of any moisture. You can get the mineral oil from just about any retail location that has a pharmacy, which tends to be cheaper than going to woodworking stores...
+bret h No, there isn't any real stress on the glue joints... So it will hold up fine. We have been using that board in our home ever since the video. No issues at all.
Woodworking Maniak hey thanks for the reply I've made several chevron boards and a few stairway boards all came out looking amazing but I had someone tell me end grain to end grain doesn't hold up. Good to know someone has done it and it lasted.
great videos i jus wish u wud say what lengths ur cutting at when u do it or insert a footer in video that says it! congrats in that beautiful baby girl😆
+Chad Rayl I've had a few people ask about it lately... I guess I'll add that to the details in my write up on my website. Here are the a quick run of the details: The main glue-up was around 11 5/8" x 30" and I made the first cut at 15°. The Center Maple is 3-5/8" wide. Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that. Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those. Then 1-1/4" Walnut on each side of that. and Finally 1-5/8" Ash. After cutting the 15 degree angle, I then cut strips to 2" wide. The final board ended up being about 11 1/4" x 16" after trimming it to a rectangle.
dale thompson No, it is not end grain for this cutting board. It can be made that way. I will be posting plans as soon as I finish up my website. Because of my daughter being in hospital, my website is taking me much longer to finish than I had planned. I'll be sure to make an announcement once it's ready.
WoodworkingManiak Excellent! I'm glad you will share the plans. I would love to try one like this. I am interested in approximate dimensions (including L, W, H of the overall board, as well as the thickness of the different strips you used). This is a very nice board (I've watched many videos here on cutting boards and have not seen one like this ever). Thanks again for such a nice video and congrats on the baby girl!
Beautiful cutting board. I have been amazed at the wonderful things that were built during this challenge. And God bless on the little one.
Making furniture and other things for my children have been some of my favorite projects.
Thank you. I am looking forward to building furniture for my little one!
That pattern looks amazing Tim. It would look good with the wavy edges too. Welcome Sarah Ellen!
Steve Carmichael Thank you! I considered leaving the edges...
Very nicely done!
WoodWorkingTAO Thank you!
Well thanks to Steve Carmichael and 2015 Kitchen Utensil Challenge I saw your Utensil Organizer video. I was intrigued by it and I'll watch more of your videos later; oh and yes, I did subscribe. God bless Sarah and I look forward to seeing the crib.
That is really nice. Not seen one like that before.
Thank you!
Great build!
Best wishes for your sweet little girl.
Thank you!
Very nice, like the table saw fence :)
***** Thank you. Yes, the Incra fence system is the best investment I ever made.
Loved the chevron pattern with the grain of the wood! Nice Job!
Long Island Woodworking Thanks for watching and the kind comments!
awesome style!
Thank you!
Really nice, Tim!
Thank you sir!
Very cool! I like this a lot!
Thank you.
Nice Board!
Thank you. I'm very happy with the final result.
very nice..
George Georges Thank you sir!
that's awesome
Thank you!
Really cool stuff. But, really? You glued the boards over your talbesaw?!
+Jon Lanier Yeah, I'm needing to build another surface to do all of my glue-ups and assemblies... Look for it in a future video. ;)
Hey Tim. I just found your channel. 3 things. Thing 1: Congratulations on your baby girl! I hope she is doing well. Thing 2: where in the world did you get that glue roller that fits on your glue bottle? Thing 3: awesome cutting board, I'm just getting into it myself.
+2x4Dad Thanks for watching! My daughter is doing great lately and just started walking! The glue bottle roller came from a glue applicator kit I bought from Rockler. It came with its own smaller bottle, bit will also screw right onto Titebond bottles... It's great to hear you are getting into the craft! I wish you happy adventures in your woodworking.
Beautiful.😊😊
Thank you!
cool, man...congratulations👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
looks great
+John Turner Thank you!
looking at this more and more makes me wonder how hard would it be to make a table like this. do you think that is possible?

That would be a great video. Like a coffee table size. I would want to make a full size table tho just got to work out the details.
Nice job like the different wood combo
Thank you!
Beautiful cutting board Tim! Great design. Congrats on the baby girl!
Thank you!

RJBWoodTurner Thank you for the kind comments. It was fun to join in on the challenge!
Nice board and congratulations.
Nice planer weight(s) too. That thing ain't goin' no where. I have weights just like it. JimE
Thank you. Yeah, always extra wood laying around my shop wherever there is a spot.
I love the board that you made. I heard you mention that some of it was spalted wood. I love the look of spalting in wood. However, spalting is a fungus and for that reason, I've never used it in a cutting board. Have you had any issues with food in contact with spalted wood?
No issues with spalted wood that is hard and stable. It was cured in a Kiln, so no problem with the stains left by the fungus.
Woodworking Maniak Good to know. Thank you for the response and happy woodworking. Enjoy that new addition to your family. 😃
Thank you!
Surprised this was the first cutting board I saw today! Very nice design and wood choice!
Me too. I expected many more. Thanks for the kind words!
Nice job, chevron is chic right now. Baby proofing is gonna be fun, they seem to always find a way around it.
Thank you. Sarah is most definitely going to get into everything. She already grabs ahold of whatever she can find... Pulling off sensors and such.
Damn that's a nice cutting board and unique to boot. You got me hooked brother love it.
Moonpie Creations Thanks for the kind comments!
Dig your style, love the logo, I cannot wait to see more, I am a fan already. I cannot wait for some of the builds you are talking about! Congrats on your daughter! I will keep her in my thoughts, good luck to your family from mine.
muy bueno!!!
Thank you!
Very nice! What were your starting dimensions and fished dimensions?
What are the dimension after glue up (12x30”?)and the individual width of each board
Thanks
John
Hello.
I really enjoyed this cutting plank you could give me the extent of the woods you used would make one for me ok.
Vico grateful thanks.
+Luiz Antonio I used Spalted Maple, Walnut, Cherry and Ash in this board.
Congratulations! and great cutting board pattern. Love the chevron style.
Darbin Orvar Thank you! I've made these in the past for customers. This one is for me.
Great board and all the best with the "early bird" baby.
Thank you
Great work. I've got a huge stock of wood that needs to be batched out into cutting boards. How do you find out about challenges such as this one? I would like to get involved in the future.
-Todd
what is the name of the Grip which is protecting the fingers while cutting?
Nice work tim! Keep up the good work. I would also like to say that Nick Ferry sent me over.
Lyden Briffa Thank you very much! That Nick Ferry fella is alright in my book.
cool board. Did you say spalted maple? Is it not too soft for cutting on? Our youngest baby turned 1 today. Crazy that your baby is 1 year & a month but wasn't originally due till April. :) happy late birthday to Sarah.

You are great....nice personality.....great technique....Wonderful shop...thanks
+Giovanni Sicilia Thank you!
Finally got around to watching Tim, beautiful work! Subbed up!
***** Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I would not recommend PHeart as it tends to lose the purple and show more of a brown color. I guess that is fairly normal from what I've read.
+Bill Davis Purpleheart ends up brown when you cut and sand it, but it will purple back up over time. Especially if you expose it to the sun for some time.
Only yesterday did it my way I think it worked today will finish and once you are ready send a picture to you ok at the outset thank you, there is something else how long you leave the taboo dipped in mineral olio.

Holy cow, you have a lot of tools.....
I've invested to have the tools I want to get the jobs done more efficiently...
Woodworking Maniak absolutely, I’m just jealous! I just started in woodworking. I made my own aquarium stand and got hooked. I was just a little disheartened from your video in seeing all the tools I still would like to get, ha.
Mostly purchased from Craigslist, upgrading slowly...
HI! i like your video ~can i ask some question ?
I had made a cutting board
but when i oil the board
i found that board has
1.distortion/Uneven and had many 2.little hole on the surface
i try use titebond glue/super glue/ AB glue to full the hole
but the color is not the same and when i Polished the glue part
it's will become white >

Wow that's a stunning design Tim! Great choice in contrasting woods too :)
Welcome to the world Sarah Ellen !!
Cheers from Nova Scotia
Mark
Thank you!
Alright, you really need to talk about what you are doing. Please, more input. Like, what glue are you using; what are your measurements.
+Tony This was my first UA-cam video I produced. I appreciate your input. I did use TiteBond III glue.
The Center Maple is 3-5/8" wide.
Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that.
Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those.
Then 1-1/4" Walnut on each side of that.
and Finally 1-5/8" Ash.
Thank you for the measurements that will help me out a lot. I hope my board will come close to how well yours came out.
what kind of brush do you use on your paint roller when applying glue? i just tried to do this using the only painter roller i had around, and the brush seemed to just suck up most of the glue and not spread it around very well. thanks for the video!
+Danny Cruz I'm actually using a rubber roller from Rockler and screws right onto a Titebond bottle. It was part of a kit I bought along time ago. It works great! I do recommend rinsing it off after use instead of letting glue dry on roller. Search for item 57361 via wwmaniak.com/rockler
+WoodworkingManiak cool thank you
here i am high as a kite
whatching a video from february on how to make a cutt8ng board
+Nicoly Crispi Thanks for watching!
Hi Tim, Awesome job! - Can you tell me the brand of that melting pot you have? - I want to finish my boards like that as well. - Can you tell me the ratio of Mineral Oil to Beeswax? - Thank You!
+Peter DeFazio This is the exact one that I have. It is a great price and gets the job done well. amzn.to/20Bt7ZJ

Awesome! Thanks for the info I am going to build a few for family and friends now based off your advise!
+Zack Conoly Great to hear!
maybe i am wrong here, but doesn't "spalted" mean molded? I don't know if I'd use moldy wood for a cutting board.
+Jdsjcdnvdnvdnvd Yes, it is a fungus growing while the tree is alive. Basically, what it leaves behind when the lumber is milled and kiln dried is just stains.

+WoodworkingManiak Thanks!
hola nuevamente, quería saber que tipo de maderas usas para estos trabajos... gracias!!! saludos desde argentina
Great board, thanks for sharing.
Love the incra set up, looking at one myself but difficult to get here in Australia with a reasonable shipping cost.
All the very best for your new team member, you must be super proud.
Could i ask, what is your ratio for mineral oil / bees wax as i am just experimenting with this myself.
Many thanks in advance, Simon
Simon Richards Thank you for your kind comments and watching! I love my Incra setup. I have a 3 to 1 mixture for my beeswax.
sorry beautiful job. Good thoughts for your daughter.
dale thompson Thank you.
Great board. That is a nice clamp wall also
Thank you! That clamp wall is a great investment that has served me well.
Hey really nice design on the board ( looks great) Also congrats on the new addition to you family.
Couple of questions about your process?
# 1 It seems like you are jointing the end grain to prep for the second is that what i am seeing. How is it possible to do this safely with out fear of the strips coming apart . Just concerned that some less experienced folks with lots of enthusiasm might go out and try this with less optimal results or possibly injury. Any ones experience with end grain jointing would be educational ( ie WHY TO OR NOT TO JOINT END GRAIN) For me jointing end grain is taboo. Right up there with ripping through loose knots ( they become wood missiles) or short shaky boards ( they can split and kick hard , I did this yesterday and was a real eye opener for me Also my first kickback on the 5 horse powermatic saw Do not want that ever again.)
#2 what kind of glue do you use and how will a end grain to endgrain board hold up over time.
Anyone looking to learn more about cutting board production as well as design should check out mtmwood
Cass Bartlett Thanks for watching and for the congrats.
#1 As for the jointing of the end-grain. Yes, I did it in that video. However, the grain was at a 15 degree angle... So when I brought it to the jointer, I made sure that I had the angle going back away from the blades. Also, I was only taking about a thousandth off. Just barely shaving it. If it was end-grain directly vertical, it probably would have chipped out towards the end. Without support, vertical end-grain going through jointer or planer will chip out or sometimes explode just about every time...
#2 For all my cutting boards, I always use Titebond 3. I have never had any issues with end-grain to end-grain. You just have to make sure you have enough glue for it to soak up. End-Grain is thirsty.
I agree, mtmwood has some great videos on here. I'd recommend everyone to go watch!
Great design and step by step illustrations! I just did one for a gift using Paduk, Walnut, purple heart, cherry and Maple. I now have two more requests--Thanks again for sharing your projects.
+Bill Davis Thanks for watching. Glad to hear you have more orders.
Tim. love the chevron. I was watching your video and would stop it to try and read your numbers on incra. It looks like 3" 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 2, and 3/4 Are these the correct width of your strips? I would like to duplicate your cutting board. Good work
I'm totally mesmerized by your wall of clamps. What is the make and model of your table saw? The fence configuration is awesome! Excellent video and beautiful finished product.
+Jason Cocklin Thanks for watching! My Clamp wall has built up over the years... Can't ever have too many clamps. My table saw is an old Jet right-tilt cabinet saw. I upgraded the fence to the Incra TS-LS Joinery system a few years back. It was the best investment I ever made. I absolutely love that fence system! If you buy one, let them know I sent ya! ;)
Let me welcome your daughter , I work for a program that deals with newborns and their mothers. Babies are our future, I'm proud to have 4 grandkids myself. Keep making videos thanks for sharing
MrEdsster Thank you!
I have been down this road you are on now. My son was 12 weeks early and was 2lbs. 3ozs. March of dimes does a lot with premature babies and there families. They may be able to help you and your wife with finding resources in your area. Also if you haven't selected a pediatrician for your daughter yet, try to find one that has a background in treating premature babies.
djonesy597 Thank you. We haven't looked at March of Dimes, I'll check that out. We will be assigned a pediatrician to follow up with here at this hospital. We will still need to find one local in our town.
Beautiful board. Cant wait to get a jointer so I can start making cutting boards and such.
Best health wishes for the munchkin. I work with nicu babies in radiology, they're tough little souls.
ponkkaa They are tougher than you'd expect for sure!
Very nice cutting board Gluing up on your table saw - brave man.
Paul St George Yeah, someday one of the builds on my channel might be an assembly table...
You are very talented and this cutting board is amazing. Best of luck with your baby girl, hope she is doing well, I just had a son that was born in April as well!
Dani Cat Thank you. My daughter is doing pretty well. She is finally home after spending 6 months in the hospital. Congrats on your son! :)
Congrats on the baby girl.
those 15 degree cuts and the timber selection make the difference between a standard board and an amazing looking cutting board. Great video too keep up the good work I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks mate.
Adrian Butler Thanks for watching and for the great feedback!
Very nice! You make it look so easy. I know there is a lot work involved when making those cutting boards. Great 3 dimensional look at 0:19. Looks like the cutting board has waves in it. Great video.
Yeah, this pattern tends to give a look as if the board is rippled even though it's completely flat.
Nice job on the cutting board. The challenge is how I found your video. Plan to see what else ya got. Congratulations on the addition and glad to hear she's doing well as a premie. Hope she comes home soon.
Bill Noe Thank you! I have a lot more in the works.
Congratulations on your new family member! I'm sure she already has you wrapped around her little finger. Nice cutting board design.
Thank you. And... Yep...
Congratulations buddy, my daughter have same name that your child, just in spanish, Sara Helena. Regards.
+Herbert Romero Awesome! It's a great name. :)
HI I ENJOY WATCHING THE CUTTING BOARD SHOW, I HAVE MADE A FEW BOARDS. HOWEVER MOST SHOWS DO NOT TELL YOU THE LENGTH OF STRIPS OR THE WIDTH OF THE STRIPS, THE ONLY MEASUREMENT I HEARD FROM YOU WAS 15 DEGREES. PLEASE SEND ME THE MEASUREMENTS. I WILL BE WATCHING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS
+BRIAN ANDREWS The main glue-up was around 11 5/8" x 30" and I made the first cut at 15°. Then I cut each strip 2" wide. The final board ended up being about 11 1/4" x 16" Thanks for watching!
+WoodworkingManiak HI TIM, BRIAN AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF EACH BOARD, MAPLE WALNUT CHERRY .IE 2",4",1/2" I CANNOT READ YOUR TABLE SAW SETTINGS. THANKS AGAIN. BRA.
+BRIAN ANDREWS HI TIM, BRIAN AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF EACH BOARD, MAPLE WALNUT CHERRY .IE 2",4",1/2" I CANNOT READ YOUR TABLE SAW SETTINGS. THANKS AGAIN. BRA.
+BRIAN ANDREWS Sorry, I was away from my shop until now and didn't have the piece available to measure...
The Center Maple is 3 5/8" wide.
Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that.
Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those.
Then 1 1/4" Walnut on each side of that.
and Finally 1 5/8" Ash.
TYPE OF PAINT OR WHAT YOU PUT TO WOOD WHEN FINISHED AS TO CUT VEGETABLES washing or CAN COMBINE
Mineral oil and beeswax is what I use for finish.
thumbs up! Once again a good idea
MrHandwerk Thank you.
hey buddy! I'm Jr from brazil, that is a good looking cutting board, what is the brand of your table saw?
+vivaldo junior Thank you! I currently have an old Jet Right-Tilt cabinet saw with the Incra TS-LS fence system on it.
I really like the chevron pattern; it provides an optical illusion on the surface. Will be praying for your precious Sarah.
Daniel Way Thank you! I love the optical illusion it creates. Makes it not appear flat even though it truly is.
Congrats on your beautiful baby girl. I'll keep her and the rest of your family in my prayers.
***** Thank you very much! :)
I heard that Spalted Maple was inappropriate for use in cutting boards because the spalting is a form of rot that could get into your food.
Great cutting board. Congratulation.
Thank you!
Very nice but this end-grain to end-grain glue up worries me. Thanks for sharing.
Been there with twins. They are now 25. God saw us through it all. All to His glory. Prayers for you and yours.
David Parrish Thank you! God is Good.
用邊一隻膠水呢
How many inches did you cut off on the first 15 degree cut? It was hard to estimate from the picture.
One of the most incredible looking cutting boards I've ever seen! 👍🏼
+Stuff Seth Makes Thank you! It's a fun one to make too.
Tim, are you going to ever send my cutting board that I ordered Nov. 2022?
Congrats on the baby! She is five years old by now? Thanks for sharing your brilliant work!
Thank you! And yes, she's 5 and doing great.
Congratulation with new family member :)
Thank you a lot for sharing.
Can you please tell some more about What kind of mineral oil and for how long and waxing finish?
Hossein Hayati Thank you for watching! You cannot use too much mineral oil, nor can you oil to often. It should be applied anytime the board appears to be looking dry. The mineral oil is what provides the board a protective barrier of any moisture. You can get the mineral oil from just about any retail location that has a pharmacy, which tends to be cheaper than going to woodworking stores...
Thank you :)
Will the end grain to end grain joint hold over time?
+bret h No, there isn't any real stress on the glue joints... So it will hold up fine. We have been using that board in our home ever since the video. No issues at all.
Woodworking Maniak hey thanks for the reply I've made several chevron boards and a few stairway boards all came out looking amazing but I had someone tell me end grain to end grain doesn't hold up. Good to know someone has done it and it lasted.
BTW, the address he posts, 18 Village Plaza, is a UPS Store.
like it but my advice is to set up another table top for your work keep your table saw for saw purposes, apart from that thumb up
I agree... I plan to build an outfeed/assembly table sometime in the near future.
That pronounced grain in the chevron pattern really creates an interesting optical illusion. Really nice piece Tim!
Thank you.
great videos i jus wish u wud say what lengths ur cutting at when u do it or insert a footer in video that says it! congrats in that beautiful baby girl😆
+Chad Rayl I've had a few people ask about it lately... I guess I'll add that to the details in my write up on my website. Here are the a quick run of the details:
The main glue-up was around 11 5/8" x 30" and I made the first cut at 15°.
The Center Maple is 3-5/8" wide.
Then I have 1/4" wide Walnut pieces on each side of that.
Then 7/8" Cherry on each side of those.
Then 1-1/4" Walnut on each side of that.
and Finally 1-5/8" Ash.
After cutting the 15 degree angle, I then cut strips to 2" wide. The final board ended up being about 11 1/4" x 16" after trimming it to a rectangle.
Congratulations for your baby girl! I wish she is doing well. Really pleasant work.
Orwa Diraneyya Thank you sir! She's doing pretty well. Still in the hospital, but going pretty good all in all. :)
Very beautiful!! :-))
Thank you! It's fun to make as well.
very good video,grettins for spain
+cocinas y puertas acuasol Thank you! Good to hear from Spain!
Was this a end grain....can you post the plans for this?
dale thompson No, it is not end grain for this cutting board. It can be made that way. I will be posting plans as soon as I finish up my website. Because of my daughter being in hospital, my website is taking me much longer to finish than I had planned. I'll be sure to make an announcement once it's ready.
WoodworkingManiak
Excellent! I'm glad you will share the plans. I would love to try one like this. I am interested in approximate dimensions (including L, W, H of the overall board, as well as the thickness of the different strips you used). This is a very nice board (I've watched many videos here on cutting boards and have not seen one like this ever). Thanks again for such a nice video and congrats on the baby girl!
Perhaps too much time spent on a face grain board. Nice work, though.
Ant Mallett Thank you.
Beautiful work Tim. God bless your baby and family!
Thank you!
