I would like to retire in a spot like yours. It reminds me of where I grew up before life/work/family took me far, far away for decades. Mine was much further south, but the same peace. At least 40 years ago, anyway.
I just love what you do. Your projects are all about the wood's beauty and that's what I admire the most. You don't use epoxy and there's no need to install speakers or bluetooth, glitter, colored pencils or pine cones. Your work is plain and earthy. And, it's absolutely gorgeous! Well done, sir. I wish we were neighbors.
I really appreciate the kind words and feedback! 99% of the time its creations from just the wood but I have been know to salvage some scrap metal for table bases 😁
' just finding the right wood' so true ( 2min 20sec) but KNOWING to look is the key, take the time to visualise like you do and this starts at the moment of purchase not in your shop. Lovely board. Thnx
Another great looking board and I really enjoyed the filming and the music with the right amount of commentary - thank you and I look forward to the next one.
Absolutely beautiful. I've got some walnut boards for end grain cutting boards. Will have to rethink my design now. Instead of mixing species, I will check the endgrain pattern. May have to do one like this. Thanks for sharing.
I've spent the last year and half chasing down every possible walnut endgrain pattern I could think of, and I don't think I've even scratched the surface. Its a very rewarding process!!
Jacob, many thanks for sharing your video, I just want to confirm with you the treatment that you apply to the walnut block after completing. I believe you first clean it with mineral spirits, then you applied vegetable oil and submerge it in it, then, after draining the vegetable oil, you applied a food approved quality finish linseed oil and/or beeswax, am I right? Can you please confirm it or help me getting the right combination or sequence of finishing? Many thanks in advance, JC
That is an unexpected pattern you created, but I kind of wish before you fully swapped each row, looking at the line of diamonds…which still were impressive, I wondered looking at them, “what if he alternated the diamond pattern from top, then bottom, then top, across the board?” Maybe you’ve seen that combination already and it wasn’t as appealing as it might seem. Definitely an inspirational artistic eye shown.
I also feel, after looking at these gray walnut boards I see you do, I really want to do a bright wood mortar and a solid gray walnut brick pattern board!
Late to this party, and sorry if you have answered this, but is that Titebond 2 dark okay for cutting boards? I'm sure it is fine but it's not one of their "food safe" glues, is it? Love your content and this board in particular!
Thanks for the cool content Jacob! I'm new to wood workering and I've found this strange itch to make only cutting boards. I can't explain it but I really do enjoy making them. Your videos inspire me to challenge myself and try to make each board unique! Also I've seen alot of woodworking channels and almost every single one looks like there shop is dust free, and there clamps look like it's fresh out the box, and it almost feels like there more for show. Your shop has a authentic, and genuine vibe, your tools look like it's been tested and actually used. Keep it up! And I'm definitely gonna purchase one of your one of a kind board. Mahalo for the content 🤙
I really appreciate it! I don't have the newest/most expensive tools but I make it work, I'd say my shop makes up for it with soul and I am happy to know that translates through the videos. I think the most important tool in any shop is your own imagination! I also will put a product through the ringer so If I vouch for it I believe in it. Thanks so much for the the comment and support, its very much appreciated!!
That board is beautiful and you did a great job with the layout! Juice grooves do look good but man they really reduce your usable cutting space in the actual use of the board. Do you have any videos with boards with a narrower groove to compare? And could you share your location and where you source 10/4 walnut? I live in FL, soon to be GA, and I can’t find it anywhere
I have an end grain walnut board and my surface is kinda rough, especially after cleaning. I’ve dried it correctly and applied mineral oil and beeswax but still seems to not feel smooth. Is this one of end grain traits, for it to be slightly rough and not smooth? As an example if I run a paper towel one way it will definitely leave paper lint
Hi Jacob, are your finding dark walnut boards becoming harder to find? Where are you sourcing your wood? I’ve been looking at boards from 8 to 16 quarter, each with their own problems. Thinner boards seem to be beautifully dark for the first 1/3 to 1/2 thickness then all sapwood. Thicker boards tend to be riddled with honeycomb cracking not visible from the outside and no surface indication (knots etc.). My distributor will give credit on the honeycombed parts, but picking through them to identify a likely candidate takes a long time, and then to get home and find a significant length of the board unusable for anything but shorter end grain strip blocks becomes a colossal waste of time and frustration. Your thoughts would be much appreciated…Skip
Hey man love the boards and I plan on making some myself. Only question is, what is that liquid you pour over them towards the end? Is that the mineral oil?
This board came out beautiful. I’m new to wood working and cutting boards and your videos are so inspiring. Truly functional art. But I have to ask, at time stamp 2:21, where you had the three strips side by side, did you consider cutting the leftmost board in half (because it was not contributing anything to the diamond pattern design plan) and then putting the two halves of that board on either of the two boards containing the diamond pattern? If you had done this, then, at time stamp 4:28, the diamonds would’ve extended down the middle of your cutting board instead of extending down only the top of your cutting board. I think this approach also would have produced a beautiful board having a diamond pattern consistent with your intentions. Like I said, yours came out beautiful. But it seems to me that the reason you decided to abandon your plan to make a diamond patterned board was because your board did not look right with all of the diamonds off center like that. The transition from the top half of the board containing the diamonds to the bottom half of the board not containing any diamonds was just too harsh to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
amazing boards brother! Did you use the piece with the knot hole in it? I come across imperfections in the wood after I cut it up into strips all the time and never know what to do with the piece that has the blemish in it. I want to keep the Flo of the grain and hate to pull a piece out that's not on the end but I do it some times and other times I add extra glue to that area and hope it holds? Pretty new to the game so boards not around long enough to find out if the hole is a week area of the board. Any advice? You truly are an artist with wood bro! Love your set up, vibe and eye
Hey Chris! Good question, Walnut is notorious for having little hidden defects inside. The first thing I would do is flip the blemished piece and see if the other side is useable. If not I try group any defective pieces to the outer edges of the board (away from the center where you eye typically goes) and Hide it as much as possible. 🙌
WOW! Thats an amazing board Jacob. Defiantly a good call changing the Dimond pattern. I have a question for you.. How do you keep your routed edges crisp and clean after you raise the grain and do your final sand? I am struggling with this. I get away wit a round over edge after final sand ( barely) but a chamfer looses all of its definition. Any suggestions? LOVE your functional kitchen art
Thanks!! There is a formula for figuring out how much material is needed for end grain boards. lets do a hypothetical on this board, the final dimensions are 14' wide (this number is not important in the formula) @)" long and 2" thick. The original panel would have to be (this is using 8/4 stock 2 inches) 24 inches long. So its 24 divided by 2 (which is the thickness I want) which is 12, multiplied by the thickness of the material ( in this case 2 inches) That puts me right back at 24 inches (its easier math with 8/4 stock) The other thing to consider is the material lost by the kerf of the saw blade. I always like to make my measurements long just in case there's a defect hiding somewhere in the wood. Sorry if this is a little confusing, I may add a section to my next video explaining this process a little better.,
I love the video and this is a beautiful design, but I cringe every time someone juice-grooves a beautiful cutting board. I've been a professional chef for 25 years and juice grooves are useless.
I appreciate the feedback, I see both sides of the juice groove coin. I find that my cutting boards tend to sell better with a juice groove, and they do add an ascetic touch. Most of my boards are reversible so you can dedicate one side to fruits/veggies (non juice groove side) and the other side to meats.
I agree, lose a lot of cutting space & grooves also limit where you can cut! Save your bits bro 😂 grooves are for resting roasts & carving meats…. & with end grain not ideal for juices especially walnut
@@thewoodplank4376 Didn't want to be harsh but your start is so peaceful it's disappointing. Thank you for your response hope you can continue, you're quite talented.
Your well-taught video is marred by the extremely annoying "music" you used for most of the background. A suggestion: Before your second glue-up, you flipped every other piece end-for-end. What would it look like if you flipped pairs of pieces and kept the diamonds intact? Your end product is most impressive and your work exceptionally clean.
One of my favorite cutting boards. Didn't get crazy involved with 3 or 4 glue ups and crazy patterns. Simple, Sophisticated and 100% BEAUTIFUL!
Man... Great Great Work!!! Can't say how much I appreciate your videos! God bless you 🙏
Beautiful design sturdy will last a life time
Loved the intro. Beautiful country
Yes sir...that's a beauty!
Listen to the wood!
You have good ears!
🙌
You really made the wood speak and it was a beautiful message. Nice work.
Yup. Definitely gonna copy this one. Looks great
I would like to retire in a spot like yours. It reminds me of where I grew up before life/work/family took me far, far away for decades. Mine was much further south, but the same peace. At least 40 years ago, anyway.
I hope you get back to that place one day! Nature has helped keep me grounded and inspired.
The greatest Board i have ever seen! Congratulation
WOW, Thank you! 🙏
That is a beautiful board
Very classy look and I enjoy your commentary. Thank you.

Lovely board. Thnx
So much time is spent during the wood section stage and with as expensive as walnut is, it really pays to be picky and find those specials pieces.
Spectacular!!! DD
Nice adjustment on the pattern. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks so much!! I think it really turned around nicely.
Fantastic work and so enjoy all of your videos.
very nice doc
That turned out incredible!
Gorgeous

So nice. Love that wood grain!👌
great board great eye for detail
Thanks!
the result is amazing ....good work love your channel

Thanks!! That's very kind of you!! Your support is so very much appreciated, lots of ideas for upcoming projects and content so hang on!!!
Thanks for the tip on the dark glue. I'm surprised I didn't know about it! I'll be looking for some now👍
Absolutely, I've attached a link in the description, although sometimes Amazon is out of stock.
Amazing for sure!!!
Thanks!!
Hermosa tabla buen trabajo

Many thanks! I am still trying to work out the music and commentary so your feedback is very much appreciated!
Great looking board!
Thanks So Much!!
Very impressive very well done are usually make some cutting boards around Christmas this video will help tremendously
Aweosme! They really do make great gifts!
Just a note that Titebond II Dark is not rated for indirect food contact. The regular II and III are. Looks great though.

Thanks so much, they're a lot of fun to make!!
You have a great view and you make great boards. Greetings from Poland :)
Glad you like them! I llike to make as many unique and original ideas a possible and it seems there are endless possibilities!

Great, like all other cutting boards, be it walnut alone or in combination with cherry and / or maple!

How many coats of mineral oil do you use on a board that thick?

ANOTHER BEAUTY, GREAT JOB, IF YOU DONT MIND ME ASKIN, WHAT DO YOU CHARGE FOR SOMETHING THAT NICE ITS REAL ARTWORK
Thanks Mike, This board is actually available, I have it listed on my website for $325 shipped. It's a large board measuring 13"x20"'x2"
Ficou linda a sua tábua com essa madeira

Parabéns lindo trabalho sou de castelo Espírito Santo Brasil
Классная работа.я мастер своего дела.ябы тоже хотел заниматься таким делом.но у меня нету такова мини цеха.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. One question. The three pieces of walnut from same board? Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your comments, This was mostly all from one board (The diamond section), I did add a small sliver from another piece on the end.
Hey man love the boards and I plan on making some myself. Only question is, what is that liquid you pour over them towards the end? Is that the mineral oil?
100% food grade mineral oil, I have a link to the kind I use in the description.

That music , man I couldnt even watch no more.
Music was loud and irritating, but a good video
A nice cutting board. Well done!
A really good video, but with some way too loud and awful music.
Thanks! I would tend to agree with you, I am trying to hone in my tunes and editing skills. No my strong suit……..yet!
Why do you waste so much glue??
Really enjoy your work but the "music " ruins it
I would tend to agree, this is one of my earliest videos and I was still trying to "figure" things out. Check out a one of my newer videos.

Awsome board but please, please ditch that godawful music.
It's a shame that you have bought into the mythology of using mineral oil on cutting boards. Otherwise, a good video.
I use to use just cheap veg oil you cook with. Still have my board from 10 yrs ago. Zero cracks
Good god another cutting board video on UA-cam- Ugh 😑
