Any woodworkers?

Got the cherry board cut up again and re-glued. I initially planned on putting a juice groove around the perimeter, but it turned out to be smaller than I wanted. Still happy considering it's it's my first end grain.



Got the other three striped boards soaked in oil and almost ready to go. Drilled holes for the feet, branded, and drying. By tomorrow morning they should be completely done!



The LSU board came out way better than I expected. I mixed purple and gold epoxy this morning and was worried I had the mix wrong because it took all afternoon to set. I checked again tonight and it finally feels like it hardened. Really happy with how it came out.



Got the last two boards glued up. Still need to plane them and finish up after that. So far I'm happy with how they look!

 

Will glue these up tomorrow, should have 8-9 boards here

 

I bet those will come out nice! What's your opinion on puprleheart? I've always wanted to use it but just can't justify the price

 

They look awesome!

 

I’ve never made a cutting board. What’s the reason for using end grain for the cutting surface? Is it just for looks or durability??

 

I love the way it looks and it's $13/bf for 8/4, which isn't too terrible and Incan add that into the price.

End grain should cause less dage to your knife edge.

 

That is fucking awesome!

 

That is gorgeous!

I would like to hear (and see) the story on this.

 

1953 bull nose Chis Craft. 2nd time I re-did this for the Ole man. A year after I did the first time he hit the dock with it. I always joke if I do it again it's gonna be with a can of gas and a match.

 

I have pics of her naked on a broken phone I need to do something about

 

^^

How much time do you have invested in that project?

 

Too much. Especially for it to sit on Palm Beach Island in salt water.

 

I enjoy doing these much more

 

The Beauty about it to me is the lack of fiberglass

 

Agreed.

Something about wood that has been formed, smoothed, faired and finished - whether it be furniture, a boat, or ?? - so warm and inviting.

I admire your skills and patience.

 

It's patience with others who want now now.

 

So many people don't want to understand that that wood can outlast composite

 

What type of wood are you using? Teak? White oak?
