Am a rescently retired from power line construction.Am also getting into Epoxy and the fractal woodcraft.Thank you for your videos.They have been educational and inspirational for this 66 year old Dude.Thanks!
Yes please to the finishing video! I do similar products (not food related, a lot more CNCing, Australian market) and finish with lots of polishing and beeswax to get the epoxy clear and the wood 'popping') . Seeing what you do was really interesting: so many layers of coating but the end result was fantastic. My one small piece of advice is consider using the disposable droppers over the syringes. They are about 1/20th the price and you can have one sucking up resin whislt using a second to driver it, making the process fractionally faster. "3ml, clear eyer dropper pipette" if you're searching. (I still have a very very occasional use for the syringes)
I mod a 60k member cutting board group on FB and this is the forever argument about finishes and safety but people don’t realize what’s really happening. A charcuterie board or serving tray isn’t meant to be cut on so it’s essentially the same as a plate or a table or a plastic coolwhip lid you’re carrying food into the bathroom to eat without your wife or kids seeing you take the last piece of birthday cake. The tables probably covered in toxic lacquer, the plate is glass or ceramic and the plastic lid already has tiny pieces that have made it into 100% of men over the age of 20’s testicles. We worry too much about this things that aren’t relevant. Don’t eat the epoxy, don’t drink the poly in liquid form… we all die eventually.
Have you ever thought about trading some of your abundant local wood for someone else’s local abundant wood? Like. You could send me some of that curly ambrosia maple and I can send you some of my massively abundant alkaline dirt with tiny jepsum rocks and chunks of sage brush…. 😢 Yea I didn’t think so….

Thank you very much for all the feedback!
I’ll have to try the syringe
Those boards look fantastic, great job dude
Thank you very much!
Great video, would love to see a complete how to on the finish those boards are awesome
Thanks for watching and noted!
Enjoyed the video, I would like to see your finishing process.
Thank you! Also, noted!
You use oil base poly on a charcuterie board. I’m pretty sure oil base poly is not food safe but I could be wrong.
Oil base Polly is indeed food safe once fully cured.
@ that’s why I said wasn’t sure but the 3M stuff definitely isn’t
