I was commissioned to build a massive end grain butcher block intended to be passed down through the generations. Made from solid walnut it measures 3'x4' and is 4" thick. It weighed over 200 lbs. when all was said and done. An all around challenging and truly unique project to bring to life.

One last thing I would love to see is, customer willing, a couple glamour shots of the board in it's new (and probably forever) home. Great job though, this was fantastic!
Remember what you do is an art. Enjoy it and take it one day at a time. I love my board, thank you for what you do. I would wait months to get one of your boards. Do not rush or let it stress you out. Blessings to you and your family.
I appreciate that :)
I like that the client got two boards. That was very nice of you!
It was the least I could do😊
God damn! That is one of the nicest, thickest, sturdiest cutting board I’ve ever seen.
Man I am jealous as hell
Don't worry about an "upload schedule" that's where good channels go to die. Keep making quality content, don't worry about quantity. That's the main reason I stopped watching John Malecki, he went full ham on clickbait content and digressed from what made his content great. There's only so many "I bought a pallet of Amazon returns" a guy can watch.
I appreciate hearing that! I enjoy doing these large, custom, one of a kind projects.
Wow. That’s one massive board. Maybe you answered this somewhere… but what the heck were they going to use that board for???? 😮 It sure was beautiful. Just found your channel. Looking forward to checking out more.
Re: logo burning. I *HIGHLY* recommend the LaserPecker (I know, but I didn’t name it). Can burn anywhere, fen has a battery for remote sites. I’m not affiliated in any way.
I concur. I’ll take quality over quantity any day
I love that you never sacrifice quality and craftsmanship. And your candour- always that.
Thanks 😉
That right there is what I call a true tradesmen , craftsmen , artist . The video was perfect , not to long or boring , edited perfect ! Great watch and inspirational , keep going.
That is a gorgeous hunk of walnut. I LOVE working with walnut. I've never done anything close to this size but bravo, sir! That is beautiful
We are beyond proud to have you use our branding irons again! Beautiful work as always Ryan!

Great build Ryan and am glad you found the time to talk about mental health! The more people who talk about and show the benefits of even just taking the step to do something about it, the less stigma or fear there is which helps everyone slowly but surely! I’m really glad it was helpful for you. Not that you do many big glue up’s like this, but when I’ve had a few I found using the threaded pipe couplers to extend my clamps really helpful. I imagine you should be able to find them at your big box store, learn from my mistake if you use them and make sure you’ve tightened them up well so as not to strip the threads off of your pipe! Cheers 👍🏻🇦🇺
As messenger 67 said just good content, not a regular schedule loading a vid every week. People soon get bored. Loved the build and appreciate the hard work that went into it.
Wow, that was an amazing build! I recently filled an order for my son for 15 boards he wanted for some business deal he had. I’ve never made a board before and figured “how hard can it be?” You make it look easy! Well, it was quite the learning curve, took far, far more time than I anticipated, and the material was much higher than expected. After completing these boards, I have a new appreciation for what you do and, can only imagine the amount of work you put into this enormous project. Unfortunately, we’re not always paid near enough for a lot of projects we make given the time they actually take as nobody would pay us that much, but you built a piece of art that will probably be around well into the future, especially considering how many times that board can be resurfaced. Hopefully this project will also lead to many future orders for you! When I told my son I completed the 15 boards he wanted, he informed me he changed his mind and moved on to something else! Moral of the story, don’t deal with family, or just plan to give them something as a gift as they’ll never understand or appreciate how much work and money goes into a build. Needless to say, 15 family members and friends are all getting cutting boards for Christmas, except my son who’s getting a very large lump of coal. Congratulations on your success with TH-cam and making a living as an artist. A lot of people try, but few are successful.
Haha what a story! Grind through 15 boards just to find out they are not wanted anymore. I think a lump of coal is warranted 😂
I enjoyed this Ryan. Your details to quality craftsmanship and your transparent communication reveals a channel worth following. The way you packaged the boards for shipment says a ton about your character. Keep up the great work.
I would have have loved to see the finished project in its final resting place. I just can't imagine what you would need with a gigantic cutting board.
Good for you taking a break and seeking help! I was wondering as I hadn't seen a video for about 4 months in my feed, even went to the channel to confirm. Glad to see you with a smile on your face in a current video!!!
Be great to see the reception of the board. Wow. What a piece. Will be handed down for generations. Xx
You are 1 phenomenal cutting board builder!! Im in awe every time i watch one of your videos! We all get bogged down with life sometimes and its good to see you didn't throw in the towel😊....kepp the awesome videos coming
Get yourself a few pipe unions at the big box store and just hook 2 pipes together when clamping - will make your life much easier!
Wow! And I'm stressing over a first time build of a 18'' x 24'' x 2 1/4'' Rock Maple. Feeling better now. Whenever you can put out a video is fine. We can wait. The video doesn't just jump from the camera to TH-cam... It takes so much more time. Thank you for this.
That was monumental!! The 3 months is no surprise considering you tackled that monster project by yourself! Excellent work!
Beautiful (and massive) board.
End Grain boards always seem to take longer than we think.
I LOVE the final product you produced.
Ryan, that’s one incredible build and work of art! Absolutely love the Walnut Big Board and your enthusiasm in creating this beautiful one of a kind “Big Boy Block!👌🏽🤩👏🏽
Thanks Ron!
Great product and presentation Ryan. I congratulate you on your honesty with your mental health struggles, your decisions regarding construction methods and your time estimates. This post needs to "go straight to the "poolroom" (Oz term).
Well done.
Welcome Back Ryan. Hope you are feeling better mate. All the best from Australia. We missed you !! 👍
Great Job!!! Love the idea with the "baby"-board on top. Thank you for sharing this project.
Don't worry about the sanding. You would be surprised how many people actually enjoy that part. The others can easily skip it. I find it very enjoyable.
This video was naer perfect, honestly. It was 23 muns but felt like 5. The flow was perfect. The content was 😮. And your packaging was 😊. Well done!
That was completely awesome, great work. I like that you made a bonus board for your customer from the scrap. I truly enjoy your videos even if there’s a time in between, they are well worth the wait.
Excellent work as always. Kudos to you for pushing through on this project - it was a big one! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you again Ryan!! You are a great artist. Many, many thanks!!
just awesome. The biggest board I've made so far we 36" x 36" x 3" and it was defiantly a challenge. Thanks for sharing. I also know first hand about the burn out you can get. I'm in that right now. Need to be in the shop but it is easy to say I will get to it tomorrow. Thanks again.
Ryan it’s great to see you do a video and what an amazing and stunning one it was. The cutting board turned out absolutely amazing your attention to detail is what sets you apart. So glad you are doing better and got help I know it’s not an easy thing to do is to ask for help. So hats off to you and then to get on here and share with us all God Bless and stay strong. Can’t wait to see what you do next my friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would have sent the small cutting board ahead of the big one, just to see their reaction. That is one huge board. I can only imagine the size of the kitchen it is going into. Take care and stay safe. From: Petawawa, Ontario.
Beautiful job Ryan. I'm glad to see you back on youtube, so now i'm looking forward to watching future videos.
Now this board me thinking, since I am a professional chef, him,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. Too beautiful, Ryan. Job well done. Remember, it is your passion and what you love to do, money will come alone.
Oh that makes sense!!!! I was going to ask what on earth they wanted one that big for!! 😂
I’m so happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery, I had wondered how you were as you hadn’t posted in quite a while. Thank you for sharing and hopefully you will soon be back to your true self again, may god bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Glad you are doing better Ryan! I get into those funks once in a while.
Gorgeous as always. Such an overwhelming amount of labor! I know all that work and precision shows up in your incredible completed projects, but as my mother-in-law would say to to her husband and son whose hobby was collecting and restoring antique cast iron gas and steam engines, “maybe in your next life you might consider just collecting stamps!” Anything that weighs less than wood or cast iron! But what fun would that be, right? Take care of yourself, your videos are such fun to watch.
I love the board! And having done a few boards (not that big), I understand the tendency to underestimate build times. Rock on - you are an inspiration!
If I could have a permanent outdoor miter saw station I would. So much better than dealing with all the dust in the shop.
Amazing finished product and a great video walking us through how it came to be. Congrats.
Credit where it’s due, I was about to say the board looks awesome but, I should really say BOTH boards look amazing. If I had the money and the space for that matter, I’d order one right now as I do home butchery and even that smaller board would be great. Bravo and keep doing what you’re doing as the work is fantastic to watch.
wow that was absolutely amazing!
Thank you for your honesty. Earned my subscription.
Always love watching you create these! Still working on my first end grain board thanks to your inspiration!
super super beautiful. So much fun to watch you work on it.
Amazing work Ryan, honored that you chose the company I work for to get your branding iron from again. Cheers from California.
I always look forward to and enjoy every video you produce. Keep up the great work!
Hi...really glad your back, hope your well....have absolutely no skill in working with wood, but love watching someone who does ....all the very best.
A thing of beauty, will last for centuries 👍👍👍
David vs Butcher Block.......well done......mental health these days is so very important....with all the pressure of just trying to carve out a normal life......glad your feeling better......
What a huge undertaking- you should be proud of the incredible result! That's a heckuva project.
He could have wanted it in a chaotic pattern, using half a dozen different timbers, by which time you would have booked into the funny farm. Great work, Cheers
That would have broke something 😂
Beautiful Ryan, that board was made for a forever home!
It sure is!
Awesome Board, glad to see you're back 🙌🤩💪👏
Now, if I can just keep it consistent 😁
Beautiful work!!!
What a BEAST!! Great job! Love your work!
Thank you! Cheers!

Classy move to make and include the extra board.
I have learnt so much from your videos. Keep up the good work.
Stunning job!
Taking "making a bespoke end grain cutting board" to a whole new level 🤣
Amazing job 😍 Not sure what I'd cut on that, though 🤔
you can make a sandwich
Love the way you do time lapse 👍
Great build video. Beautiful finished product.
Glad you liked it
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. You do amazing work.
Thank you so much!
your a beast! that board is so sweet. I love it
Nice !!! The biggest I have built was 3" x 60" x120" antique heart pine end grain ,around 700 pounds guess! 4 men to lift! For island top! Very nice work, walnut is fun to work with!
I love this board!
Ce que j'ai aimé dans cette vidéo c'est ton humanité, ton honnêteté et ton humilité. C'est officiel , I LOVE YOU ! And I love pour work to.
Jonathan de Brest, en Bretagne de France.
It is a beautiful final product
Beautiful work.
Loved the board! It turned out beautiful for sure.
You certainly got this build done quicker than I could have done this...
Woodworking is a job of joy and patients for sure...
You love it some days, and then, you ask the question, especially during sanding.... What was I thinking?? LOL
Fine job Sir and keep up the great work..
Glad you liked it!
Boards look amazing keep it up
Beautiful and laborious work to serve your client.
Thank you for the candor, the humor, and great video!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video and an amazing end product!
Great video+explanation+presentation! Thank you for sharing! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻
big thanks for a great clip .... god work
I struggle to make a simple 18 x24 x 2 end grain board. A beautiful board,well executed. Quite an accomplishment. Walnut is just beautiful….the Clark’s cutting board oil sure brings out the character of the wood.
The end grain on that 8/4 is 😍
This is my first time on your channel, and I think you did an awesome job. If I was the client and saw this video, I would have been very happy with the results.
Doing great work sir. Never undermine your passion and your desire to learn from experience. 💯👍
Beautiful craftsmanship
Congratulations on a terrific and interesting build. Personally, I enjoy all of the details that go into what you build, how you do it, why you do it a particular way etc. etc. Good luck!!
Glad it was of value to you!
When i heard what you sold it for I thought, "Yeah, that's unfortunate." But I fully understand pricing out things like this is hard the first time and like you said you've still got the video producing income too. That's on heck of a custom piece and hopefully it'll bring in a lot more business too.
Disregarding the overly long advertisement in the middle that was a superb video. Quite how I found it I don’t know but will now be searching out more from you. I hope your client was pleased and I thought the little gifts were a wonderful touch. Thank you and very well done.
