- In this video, I’ll show you how to build end grain cutting boards from scrap wood! These DIY chaotic-style cutting boards are the perfect gift and are a great way to use up those scraps of hardwood you have lying around the shop. I used maple, walnut, cherry, hickory, and Padauk on each end grain cutting board.

Im currently a freshman in high school looking at inspo for on cool cutting board designs to make in woodshop and this is definetally gonna be my next project, the first thing I ever made was a cutting board and months later, I still use it.
One step I that I think is essential but don't see anyone do with cutting boards : raise the grain once or twice with water, then sand off with 220 grit before you apply any finish. If you don't, the first thing that the new owner will experience is a fuzzy, scratchy cutting board right after they wash it the first time. Since they probably don't know anything about wood, they'll have no idea what to do about it and may consider it a defect.
Great tip, it does help finish a board.
What would your process be if you were to do this?
@@CalebBramsen spray it with water, let it dry, sand it with 180-220, spray it again and let it dry, sand again with 220. Apply finish
me ,I sand it with 80,120 and 220 w/oil, its very polishing the board.
@Love everything If you do a light sanding (I do it with a hand block), it doesn't keep raising. Eventually, adding water keeps a slick, glassy surface.
Man, if I lived in the USA I definetly would buy one of these off you man. Love them
I've made several end grain cutting boards and watched a few videos on them, but your method is the easiest and most practical. No calculations required. Until I made one using your technique, I didn't quite understand why the blanks can all be different thickness (I made my two blanks both 1.5") What matters is the width that you cut the blank. Great method. thanx
Beautiful. I have made some patterned boards but I really like this chaotic style . I am going to give it a try.. I did try and pass a prior board thru my planer in the past and had a major kick back with a huge gouge taken out . I am going to try it again and hold my breath following your steps . Thank you for your great video!
Cutting boards were the first project I decided I would make as a break from DIY house projects ... 10 years later, I still haven't made one. :)
Hahah, that's awesome!
BALES Well done!
Lmao... I did a whole house remodel and then wanted to do fun stuff, ended up with picture frames for the many many many posters I’ve collected over the years. Easy and fun. Great break from flooring and bathroom remodels.
is there a reason to nut just cut a bunch of small squares and just glue them all together?
Get on with it then.
I can verify that running end grain thru a planer is risky business! I had the type of bad experience you described; tear out and a nasty chunk of loose wood that did some major damage to my planer. Watching you do it made my stomach churn, so glad it worked for you.
Nice quick tutorial. Thanks and consider me subscribed.
I make a lot of cutting boards and always get nervous about planing the end grain, but I just put your tips to the test and I’ve had a pretty good experience. Thanks
That’s great, glad it worked out for you!
One of the first wood shop projects i made in Jr. High school was a laminated cutting board. Mom still has it. I dont know why I stopped wood working. That cutting board turned out awesome! (way better than mine)
They are beautiful enough to be displayed as art! Well done!
Thanks for this video. I just did the project. There are other similar videos but your method is the one that made the most sense to me and matched my tools available. Came out great.
I did also do some light surfacing in my planer and I too used new blades, and made very light passes: I did 1/6 turns (just visualize the wheel as an asterisk). I did also smooth it as much as possible first with a scraper and then a belt sander. Dried glue is hard on planer blades.
Nice, glad the video was helpful Andy!
Nice job. Over the years these have been a go to for me when it comes to a special gift. I have ran most of mine thru a planer without any problems, but like you said, that choice is yours. The first two I made many years ago. I didn't have access to many tools on the weekends. I did the milling and glue ups at work on breaks, and used a regular belt sander to smooth them out. I love the pattern that you ended up with. It's hard to make random look good, but you nailed it.
+Turning Sawdust Into Groceries thanks Mike. I really think those few strips of Padauk made a massive difference. They broke up the reputation of the other hardwoods just enough. I really hope the people I'm giving these to appreciate them, because they were a ton of work.
They are way more work than most people think they are, and glueing up 7 blanks for 3 cutting boards is a huge amount of work. I'm sure the recipients of these board will love them.
One of the nice things about making these videos is I can show them just how much work went into them!
Good Job, Subscribed for more! Just bought my first table saw today, and I'll make one of these for my grandma's birthday next month.
+Felipe Pereira nice, have fun!
Gorgeous cutting boards. Love the color choices and pattern that emerged. I'd put this in my kitchen just as a decoration!
+red12287 thank you!
You are now a woodworker. 😃 #riteofpassage
+Fix This Build That hah you know it!
Awesome video man! I watched this video several times when I made my end grain cutting board! You did a great job of showing how to do it in detail! Keep up the good work!
+Build Stuff with AJ glad it helped!
Beautiful work. I made a cutting board my freshman year if high school. Brought me back
Nice, thanks!
These are like the Vitamix of Blenders... Awesome job man
Wow it requires endless sophisticated job. Amazing!
so humble on your part u provide every detail,Good work.
Thanks, glad I could help!
Great video! Your thickness choice was perfect. They should last a very long time.
Thanks!
I think the key part with running the end grain through the planner is you do very light passes. Basically just skim the surface. It'll take many passes but the blade won't have enough to really bite into in order to split the board or throw it back.
Well after watching your video you gave me the drive to finally make my board. Thank you so much.
Awesome, have fun!
Lindo trabalho! Parabéns!😄
went to check on my cutting board I submitted to reddit last night and saw yours so I decided to take a look! glad I did! looks pretty cool. good job! I'm going to hang around and watch some more of your videos for awhile!
Thanks man, enjoy!
Looks great. Love the Boos Boards!
The finished board looks really nice,and the dimensions make it very chunky,it will make the preparations of vegetables very easy,it will last for years,worth thumbs up
For sure, thanks Colin!
I really like it.
Thanks!
Great job brother. Definitely came out looking 100%
+Brian Lara thanks so much man!
Crafted Workshop
Sweetness man!
+Wood By Wright thanks James!
these woodworking videos are so damn satisfying to watch. I'm pretty clumsy when it comes to craftsmanship but working with wood really fascinates me and I'll try making something one day when I have the opportunity. What item would you would recommend to a beginner to try and build?
cheers from austria!
+jj h thanks! I think a simple coffee table or something along those lines would be a great way to start.
Looks beautiful. Great job.
+CJS929 thank you!
Awsome job. absuluty beauiful. when i did mine about a year ago i to ran my throw the planer. but i glued on so scrap poplar i had with the edge grain up next to the end grain. i just did that soo i new it wouldnt blow my ends of the cutting boarx off. great work!!
Thanks man!
Saw your instructable. Been meaning to try and one make one of these. Thanks for the walk through.
+EmanMade awesome, glad I could help out!
Great project,board looks great!
Great video dude. The one thing I'd add to this process is right before adding the mineral oil is to spray it real wet with water to raise the grain, then sand it down with 220 grit, then spray a second time and sand with 400. Without doing this, I've noticed how "fuzzy" the board feels after its first cleaning after use. If you raise the grain first, then cleaning doesn't affect its smoothness. I'm sure this is old news though, since this is an older video now. Cheers!
For sure, great tip! Thanks man.
Dude, those things look awesome. Thanks for the video.
Awesome craftsmanship
I wasn't excited to watch another cutting board vid but I was pleasantly surprised, great job again.
Thanks Aaron! I debated even making a video, but I was hoping I could add my style to a video about a common topic. Glad you liked it!
Very good woodworking. Congratulations. Muito bom o trabalho. Parabéns.
+Martelie thanks!

+Soran Kurdi thanks a lot!
gostei muito do seu trabalho, gostaria de aprender, da pra fazer com ferramentas manual.
Can't wait to make one on our own channel - great looking boards!
Thanks!
Wow that was a lot of work. Looks good. Well done. I learned some stuff. Thank you.
Thanks Larry!
Some great tips here, thanks!!!
I want one!!! Lol. Those are definitely awesome looking.
I made a slew of these for Christmas presents this year. I used Walnut and Maple and did the brick pattern thing. Mine came out to 1.5" and seem thick enough, although I could have gone thicker. I've made a couple before a long time ago and forgot how much work went into these! Holy crap, I busted my ass for a couple of weeks on and off to get these suckers done lol. LOTS of freaking glue, cutting and dimensioning/sanding. At 1.5 inches thick when you apply the mineral oil it will actually come out the other side in places. Really cool to see an example of how wood grain acts like little straws. I think I will make a couple of these "chaotic" types with all the leftover pieces I have, or possibly a pizza thingamajig.
Yup, they are a ton of work. Have no urge to build another one anytime soon. The chaotic boards are even more work since the strips are a lot smaller. More glue! They do turn out awesome though, and that first coat of oil is just incredible. And yea, it’s cool to see the oil go all the way through!
Beautifully explained
Only just found this channel but its hidden gold . My man, your channel is awesome
+underground workshop thanks a lot!
They look super cool. Great stuff!
+Andrew Jones thanks man!
They look awesome
Great tutorial and result. Thanks for sharing.
+Jeff Forbes thanks Jeff!
You can run end grain through a planer. Its fine. I've done it hundreds of time.
Yeah, it chips more but a sacrificial board solves that problem easily.
Btw, I personally dont consider 2 glue ups a true "chaotic" cutting board.
They look way better if you do a 3rd, or even 4th, cut and glue up.
Also, its really cool to make the 3rd series of cuts on like a 15 degree angle and then glue them back together.
Excelente trabalho, quais os tipos de madeiras que você usou
Красавчик! Like from Russia!
fantastic cutting board
awesome technique mate.... you inspire me.... great job done.... great wood workmanship.... Thank you.
+Ian Felix Sihombing thanks man, means a lot!
They look awesome, great job!
+Fred McIntyre thanks Fred!
Ah! Chamfering the trailing edge. Brilliant!
Works like a charm!
Wonderful making the wood
+Kalai selvam thanks!
Those turned out great dude! I just made my first few cutting boards this week. Haven't tried an end grain one yet though, seems like a lot more work lol.
+Square One Workshop thanks man! Yea, basically take a normal cutting board and double the work! Hah.
As long as there’s no pieces sticking up like 1/8” the planer should be fine. Many years ago I ran an end grain board through the planer and it exploded! Shot out like a rocket!
They look elegant
Gorgeous!
Stunning Mr
They look awesome.
Thanks!
Beautiful board's
They came out awesome!
+Spareroom Woodworking thanks man!
Cool result Johnny...came out really awesome
+BillSin Workshop thanks Bill!
They're gorgeous wow 😍🔥😍🔥😍
Love the pattern !
+WoodWolf thanks!
Great peace of art and beautiful shop, mate! Saying biggest hello from Vladivostok! Cheers!
+Denis Amplifire thank you!
Those are awesome! I like to treat my boards with bee's wax and mineral oil regularly. Never use abrasives to clean them.
Thanks Dennis!
Nice job, looks beautiful.
Thanks David!
That was pretty incredible great work.
Thanks Matt!
Beautiful! Mineral Oil is the better finishing treatment. Since this will be used with food, a food-safe finish is a must! I worked in the culinary industry for 14 years, so i had to pass a food handlers certification every 2 years.
Thanks! Mineral oil worked great, the board still looks awesome two years later.
Great looking boards
+Badger Workshop thanks!
Very attractive and interesting looking cutting boards.
Nice job I will attempt one this coming summer
+Alex Onder nice, let me know if you have any questions!
Great looking boards. I also for some reason haven't done any cutting boards, but I would love to. It just seems other projects come up.
+Stroker Ace thanks! Yea, this kept getting pushed back too. Came down to the wire getting them done in time for Christmas!
Gorgeous cutting board!
Thanks!
Nicely done Johnny!
+Phil Pinsky Productions thanks Phil!
Sweet! I may have added another 2 to 4 'feet' ( the black things under the board) BC it's such a heavy board.
Hi, amazing work with those boards! I really look forward to try my first end grain cutting board. :)
Thanks a lot! They're still holding up great, use mine every day.
beautiful
Awesome job
WOW that's actually turned out to be very nice!!
