Thanks! Safety is definitely important. I do have a checkered board video on my channel actually! Though it's a style I would like to revisit soon and make a bigger/better one.
Cool thanks for the fast reply, I really appreciate it. I am new to your channel I subscribed and am looking forward to those upcoming videos you mentioned !! Good job man ~ keep up the good work
It's possible to plane end grain but generally a bad idea. The blades can catch on the fibres and cause the board to explode/eject from the planer at high speeds. So it's a bit dangerous and can damage your planer. Here is a good article explaining it a bit better than I am. www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/end-grain-through-the-planer/ Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for watching!
Derek McCrone with end grain yes, I have sent a end grain threw and it shot back out. now if you clue crap wood to the edges you take the chance out of damage. like someone else commented, you are doing edge grain and those you can send threw the planer.
With an end grain board the wood fibres are pointing up rather than along the cutting board. This has a few benefits. Your knives when cutting wont damage the board as much, since they will go between the fibres rather than cutting them the board won't look all cut up. With end grain the board can sort of self heal since the fibres are just pushed aside, whereas with edge grain the fibres are cut ans that is permanent damage. This also helps prevent bacteria from taking root into the board. Additionally this means your knives won't dull as quickly either as the edge is going between the fibres. Thanks for watching, let me know if you have any other questions.
Just plain old Mineral Oil. Sometimes it's sold under the name Butcher Block oil. I want to experiment with an oil and bees wax finish soon. If I do I'll make a video about it.
I figured if I showed it in real time people might find it boring, if you wanted a slow version I could upload it at normal speed. It would be very long though.
so neat watching the process! I love my cutting board, thank you!
Great work! Good to see your being safety conscious. Have you ever made a checker board cutting board? That would be cool.
Thanks! Safety is definitely important.

Meant not end grain but watched more and seems it is
nice boards but the width looks to slim what are these dimensions
I have tried end grain boards. They tend to cup. Any thoughts ??
A few of these did cup overtime. I no longer make them this thin. Anything an inch or bigger Ive never had issues with though!

They look good. Have you had any warp? I have done end grain which uses much more wood for the same finish size.
A few people who let them get very wet have noticed some warp. Since I made this video I no longer make boards this thin and that seems to help.
Question about the sanding part at the 3:30 mark, could the planer have worked for smoothing down the top and bottom?

what differince does it make to a cutting board if its end grain or edge grain?
With an end grain board the wood fibres are pointing up rather than along the cutting board. This has a few benefits.

lol like ur pencil sharpener 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks! haha
De Que tamaño son , por favor.
What kind of oil did you use for the finish ??
Just plain old Mineral Oil. Sometimes it's sold under the name Butcher Block oil.
I want to experiment with an oil and bees wax finish soon. If I do I'll make a video about it.
I thought purple heart wasn't suitable for food work because people can have respiratory reactions to it.
illegitimate0 I believe that’s when sanding or working it.
Why the speeded up video?

Not end grain
Neat I guess but way too small to be considered cutting boards. I definitely can’t put a 13 oz steak on those.
Yeah I never make them this small anymore. It was more of a serving board than cutting board size.
These are “edge” grain, not “end” grain. You need to correct this in your title.
нахуя ???
