Thank you. I would probably keep it a minimum of 6" I feel much less than that and the food starts to look big compared to the board. Actually the one I made from cherry with the little handle is probably my favorite of the group at this point, and it was about 6" wide.
Thank you so much for this video. I want to make boards to give away as gifts. Are you able to provide a list of the tools (for the novice) that I would need for these boards? Thank you!
I think for the tools you really only need a jig saw and a palm sander. Personally I like to flatten the board so a planer would be good, but honestly just a hand saw and sand paper and you could make some simple square ones. If you so make some, I would love to see them, tag me on Instagram @builditmakeit.
This video was well done. I like the way you started with minimal tools and techniques then going with more advanced stuff. This shows that you don’t have to have a huge budget or space to make something nice like a serving board. I have been milling a hackberry tree that I fell last year for some live edge serving boards. It has some interesting grain and color in it.
Thanks!! Actually there is one that my wife has used a bunch of times and there is some grain raised on the sides I need to hit with some sandpaper and redo. I totally agree two grain raising since it will get wiped down is the way to go.
There is a local wood store called Albuquerque Exotic Wood, also from our local hardwood dealer. Some somebody gave to me as well. Lots of year of hoarding :)
Thanks! Well the only oil I know of that will not go rancid is mineral oil. University of Wisconsin Department of Food Science did a study on it a while ago. You could try straight bees wax which should be ok. Also I have heard that fractionated coconut oil will take longer to go rancid since the fatty acids have been removed. If I couldn't use mineral oil I would probably just use bees wax. Hope that gives you some ideas.
I love how you show the progression of tools! It helps beginners like me decide how invested I want to get before working my way up to more sophisticated tools. When you filled the smaller holes with baking soda and added super glue, is the super glue food safe?
Glad it was helpful! Soooo....I am pretty sure super glue is not considered food safe. Probably not the best to use, but it is on the side so I wasn't too worried. I should have just continued to use the epoxy. Thanks for pointing that out.
Any thoughts on being able to make them out of either Ash or Hickory? I know that those are 2 very dense hardwoods. Sure appreciate your time and thanks so much for this video!
I don’t currently, but you can check out the wood whisperer. He is great and has a ton of good info and has been around for ages. th-cam.com/video/M-ZZ0dhbJYY/w-d-xo.html
I looked at a couple of pictures of handles online and then sketched out what I liked. Then once transferred to the MDF template I refined it a little bit more with sanding.
Interesting that charcuterie is a cool fashion in the US. When I was a child (living in the EU) eating baguette with charcuterie was what mothers gave to the kids when they return from school, and it was looked as plain and almost poor, what was cool at that time was white bread.
Yeah I used to be over in Switzerland and I totally agree charcuterie is funny that it’s considered so fancy in the US now. When I was a kid we never got white bread but I had a friend who got it so I lived to go to his house just hoping for a sandwich 😂
I am making a football field charcuterie board. Had to paint (water based) wood green, use white acrylic pen to draw lines on field, use vinal numbers for yard markers, peel off decals for football team logos…DEATHLY afraid to pour resin over board because so many different surfaces the resin must attach. Perhaps, covering it with varnish first would provide single surface that to which resin would attach. What do you think?
Ahhh! Has anyone else (like in this video) used rubio then a mineral oil beeswax buff for customers? Ive been searching to see if anything could be added on top of Rubio. Does it hold up well? Thanks for the tip!
It is the Bosch 6" GET75-6N. amzn.to/3KWcDXJ I bought it refurbished as an upgrade for my 5" bosch last year. I really like it for larger flat surfaces, but it was certainly a splurge :)
I’m thinking inlay with some herringbone purfling on the edge for the full fancy. Or an epoxy river board but instead on stones, rubies and emeralds. Extra fancy that idea :)
The wife loves doing charcuterie, and I’ve been meaning to make a board for her. Thanks so much for the step by step. To the workshop I go!
Glad it was helpful! They are nice projects because you can make them pretty quick. Good luck!
"Loves doing charcuterie" doesn't make sense
Thanks for the board! It's awesome!
Glad you like it!
Excellent video!! Thanks for showing the progression of skills through the different charcuterie board.
Glad you liked it!
Love to watch you work and what you create!!❣️🥰
Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! These boards are beautiful!
Glad you like them and thanks!
I agree with the planer sled over the jointer for that task 100%. Fingers can be pricey.😮😮 Great tutorial and beautiful work. 👍👍
Thanks so much! 😊
@@BuildItMakeIt your very welcome. You’ve given me ideas.
Nice video - very well produced and full of great info!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment.
Very nice demonstration and beautiful boards. What would you say would be the minimum width of board the board you would use? Thanks Don.

That was a really well done, informative video.
Glad you liked it!
Id suggest wetting the board and letting the grain rise and sanding one more time especially with a charcuterie board. Kress you are killing it.
Thanks!! Actually there is one that my wife has used a bunch of times and there is some grain raised on the sides I need to hit with some sandpaper and redo. I totally agree two grain raising since it will get wiped down is the way to go.
Where did you get the wood from
There is a local wood store called Albuquerque Exotic Wood, also from our local hardwood dealer. Some somebody gave to me as well. Lots of year of hoarding :)
What oil product did you recommend to treat the wood with instead of mineral oil? Nice Vid!

I think that would work great. Both of those can be absolutely beautiful. I play guitar so I am particularly fond of ash :)
@@BuildItMakeIt Can't thank you enough for the response! God Bless. 🙂
Do you have a video on how to use a plainer? I'm a beginner but I do have a plainer.
I don’t currently, but you can check out the wood whisperer. He is great and has a ton of good info and has been around for ages. th-cam.com/video/M-ZZ0dhbJYY/w-d-xo.html
Those are great boards. Did yu just doodle for the handle templates or did you have a different aproach?
I looked at a couple of pictures of handles online and then sketched out what I liked. Then once transferred to the MDF template I refined it a little bit more with sanding.

I'm glad you liked it.

Have you ever made a double decker board?
No but that sounds awesome!

Which random orbital Sander do you use
It is the Bosch 6" GET75-6N. amzn.to/3KWcDXJ I bought it refurbished as an upgrade for my 5" bosch last year. I really like it for larger flat surfaces, but it was certainly a splurge :)
I love the intro, LMAO!!! Medium fancy LOL!!!
Thanks! I had a lot of fun with this into.
Instead of a 2:1 ratio, try 1.618 to 1. = (1+√5)/2 Supposed to be the most pleasing ratio for humans.
Yeah the golden ratio would be cool to try a few with. Thanks!
Looks good. But safety on tablesaw
Thanks for the tip
Lunchables are one of my favorite things. If that’s medium fancy what would all the way fancy look like?
I’m thinking inlay with some herringbone purfling on the edge for the full fancy. Or an epoxy river board but instead on stones, rubies and emeralds. Extra fancy that idea :)
@@BuildItMakeIt nice. Nothing says fancy like a gem studded charcuterie board.
Great video! P.S...........don't let you sweatshirt strings get caught in you machines!! DD
Thanks!!! Yeah I’ll have to watch for that sweatshirt, luckily it is summer :)
