Most areas will have a warehouse that sells hardwood lumber. They will usually also sell live edge boards. I’ve also seen a few places advertising on Instagram
@@americaneagleembroiderygra1752 As noted in the video these typically average about $150CDN and so far I normally make these on demand. If you're are interested in one I can put them in my online stores. Price varies with dimensions and sometimes people want one that is thicker than the normal 3/4" that I use.
@@SteveMakesEverything thanks! Every time I see a new wood working tool I look over at my husband and he's "no, we don't need that". Haha. I really do see an electric planer in our near future. In that regard, your videos are dangerous. Your cutting boards are beautiful.
@@SteveMakesEverything hahahahaha. Well said. Keeping that statement to a minimum helps keep the marriage intact and happy. 😂🤣😂 with that being said you are right. Thanks for the laugh.
4:00 :/ do i have to do that if the bark is thinner as well? i have little ~5cm diameter crosscuts (with engravings on them), and i want to make an epoxy board with them. getting rid of the bark would be timeconsuming and it also wouldn't look as nice, imo. sry if that's a dumb question, i m doing this for the first time xD
Not a dumb question at all. The answer really depends on how well the bark is attached to the wood, but as the wood dries out or collects moisture the bark will eventually break off. However if you coat the entire piece with clear epoxy after you are finished engraving then you should be able to keep the bark attached. It still won't be the strongest though so if someone wrenches on the bark it still may break off unless you have more than a 1/16" of epoxy on the whole piece. I have no real eye for the artistic, so I'm pretty pragmatic about things and I would personally remove the bark.
I typically do 120,220,320 and sometimes 600 or more if I’m really looking for a mirror finish. Then finish it wi mineral oil, and/or a mineral oil and beeswax finish and buff it
Great videos thanks
These are getting a bit common now, so I don't make too many of these anymore unless someone specifically asks for one.
Great videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Hope you make one
This was really great Steve. Where do you recommend getting the wood for this project?

Thank you for the video. I've been thinking about making these and am interested in the silicone form
Do you want to buy a form or make one? I’m happy to do a video on how to create them.
@@SteveMakesEverything how much are they?

@@SteveMakesEverything pleaase make a video!!
Great video mate. Love your work. Cheers Robert
Thanks!
Awesome video. Love the board, so beautiful! Want to do a video on making silicone molds. Please.
Sounds like a plan. They aren’t that hard to make. I’ll put this video on my list

@@SteveMakesEverything thanks for the quick answer!
Good video. Steve did you do a video on how to make silicone molds? I am interested in learning how to make my own molds.
Funny you should ask. I'm in the process of making one this week. Your timing is impeccable.
Hi if you are using an electric sander what grid do I start with first

@@SteveMakesEverything ok thank you very much
Good morning i give classes and i am interested in your molds, and wood butter
I think I added the molds to my web site, but feel free to send me an email message and I can give you a price.
@@SteveMakesEverything I can not find your email ,
how can i buy a silicone form from you
They are available on my web site (slicedpi.design) if you want a "standard" size. If you want something else, shoot me an email.
