At 16:15 "…it takes forever for the oil to dry." No wonder. When applied liberally or flooded, the oil does take a very long time to dry. If applied very sparingly then it will dry sooner. Additional coats can then be applied. The Wood Whisper did make a point of this.
For the first set of glue-up, did you glue the face grain or edge grain of the wood strips? I see that most people would glue up face grain (edge grain facing up), then cut to strips and do final glue-up. I always wonder why not just glue up edge grain first? Thanks!
Nice video. I made some Face Grain cutting boards and after 8-10 washes they were all warped/curved. Do you know why this happens? I was trying to sell them but I can't sell something like that.
Since this video, I’ve made a whole bunch of edge grain boards but what I do now is cut my timber into 30mm strips, flip them on their side and glue them together, this gives me a 30mm thick board and because it’s many strips, it tends to help prevent wood movement
Very good, now you can keep peace with the wife.. LOL

I'm pretty sure I glued the edge grain first but I'm not sure if it matters

A shrubbery.. 🤣🤣🤣
No offense, but after seeing your wife it is little wonder why you spend so much time in the shop 😊
Haha, I was asked at work if that really was my wife, it is actually me dressed up with a wig 😂
@@macsworkshop I was sure it was you. Love your sense of humor in your videos. Halloween is coming up-you already have a great costume.
