@@robertmillstein8916 I use this more as a serving board and don’t get it wet. However you can raise the grain with water during the sanding process and when it gets wet in the future it won’t get as fuzzy or at all. But zebra wood may be more difficult. I just haven’t ran into it myself.
Well done! I really enjoyed this video. The board was so simple but also elegant. May I ask what approx dimensions were? I just picked up some Zebra wood and was looking for a project. Also, were the feet made from wenge?
Thanks so much. The board is roughly 8x16 and just under and inch thick. Feet are about an inch and are set a half inch into the board. Hope this helps!
Sorry, I had extras from a previous build. I knew someone would catch that. Cut them on the table saw the same angle as the cut outs bottom of the board.
I used urethane glue since it won’t swell the joint. I used a little too much not realizing how little I needed. Better to wipe off excess than to starve the joint of glue.
No. Running perpendicular to the board. Pretty small so I don’t anticipate wood movement to be an issue. It’s been a year or so and still looking good. 👍👍
@@CunninghamWoodWork wood movement would have been my concern. Good to hear you don't have a problem. I recently made 2 small boards for a customer, and she wanted them to have about 3" legs. I just used pocket holes and glue to fasten the 5" wide legs onto 7" wide serving boards. I may use your method for legs in the future. Most of my boards have rubber screw-on feet or the live edge sides have away to grab the board to pick it up. Those can also be used on both sides.
Everything about the choice of wood, design and finish are fantastic. The visual impact of the process is fascinating but the guitar soundtrack ruins it for me personally. I would prefer to hear the sander, saw etc.
You can use it for meats and cheeses, bread. More of a piece to bring out for company. Also, you may have diarrhea from something else. Not sure I can help with that
@@CunninghamWoodWork ......heh heh heh, thanks for replying it made me laugh a little. You did a good job on the piece, sorry I was a smart ass. I don't mean anything by it, just my silly way of kidding with folks. You were right tho, I had consumed way too much prune juice. 😳
That was very pleasant to watch.
You’re too kind. Thanks Nick.
No more words... just emotions...
I really love that board it reminds me of of my little brick cheese bord
I really like all the different versions of this board. This was actually a combination of a few I had seen.
It’s an extremely simple design which is what makes it so appealing. Very nice work. Thx for the video.
Thank you. No reason to over complicate things.
- Beautiful piece of work ! ! ! Thanx 4 sharing.
I love the grain and the simple (but well executed) details!
Simple and clean is what I was going for. Thank you
Thats lovely,simple and beautifull 👍🏻😁
Thank you
Beautiful design and well executed, I just hope the top doesn't shrink and split. Nice job!!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
That's a sweet board!
Thanks Matt. From the cutting board king, that’s a huge compliment.
Love the contrast!
The zebra and wenge were meant to be together. 🥰
Super looking board.
Very nice!
Nice piece
Pretty cool if you ask me. I love it 💯💯
Great piece! Very relaxing video 👍
Exactly what I was going for. Glad you liked it.
Wrong table to show the final result, great service tray!!!
I've had problems using zebrawood as the grain raises quite a bit if it gets wet at all. Have you had that problem and how can you prevent it?

What is the tool you use to clean/scape the bottom of the dovetail? Thank you, beautiful work
Thank you! It is called a router plane. Very satisfying tool.
Very nice board and video.
Is zebra wood food safe? Beautiful grain.
I researched on Google and the dust can irritate or cause allergic reactions but in a solid state it’s fine.

Very nice…. Great video, what were your dimensions?
Thank you. 8x16 and 7/8 inch thick.
Nice job.
Can you share the of the tool you used on the minute 2:32?
Thanks
Thanks! That tool is called a router plane. Made to clean the bottom of a groove in this case
This is a great video! Out of curiosity, what are the dimensions?
The board is roughly 8x16 and 7/8 inch thick.
Do any of your videos show how you made the feet?
Sorry, I had extras from a previous build. I knew someone would catch that. Cut them on the table saw the same angle as the cut outs bottom of the board.
👍
What was the glue and why did you apply it so high?
I used urethane glue since it won’t swell the joint. I used a little too much not realizing how little I needed. Better to wipe off excess than to starve the joint of glue.
Hello. What tree is it made from?
Zebra wood for the main plank and wenge for the feet
Is the grain direction of feet the same as board?
No. Running perpendicular to the board. Pretty small so I don’t anticipate wood movement to be an issue. It’s been a year or so and still looking good. 👍👍

What species are the feet?
It’s called Wenge. Very dark but has some cool texture to it.

What do you do with this item? Display something on it? Looks kinda nice thought.
I think the music gave me diarrhea.
