What the Heck is a Butter Board?

- A short how-to video following the design, production, and finishing of my first butter board prototype. This is a re-edit of my original video, btw, trimming it by half!

For those of you who are clueless about what a butter board is actually used for: The Carnivore diet is an 80% fat (frequently in the form of butter) and 20% protein. So, in order to get their fat portion of the diet increased they use the butter board to basically make butter into an appetizer with seasonings, etc. It’s not for simply holding a stick of butter until you want to butter your toast. Think charcuterie board with butter and meat.
The Butter Boards I saw were much longer. You make different flavored butters, ie: sea salt, garlic, honey, etc. And then serve French, sour dough Hawaiian, etc., breads, letting pick their own flavors.
Your design is beautiful and show’s excellent craftsmanship !!!
Well Done !!!
I think (think...) the issues you have with blade deflection on your miter saw is because you have the offcut captured by the stop block. Sort of like using the miter gauge with your piece against the fence also. You basically got a kickback, it's just that the miter saw (Thankfully) kicks away from you. If you had a flip-up stop block that you could get out of the way while making the cut, the offcut would be free to fall away from the blade, and it wouldn't make the blade want to cheat to one side (I think). I have one on my crosscut sled, works great for repeated crosscuts like that! Overall, cool video. Seems like a great mother in-law gift!
Thank you for the insight and advice; it's much appreciated.
@@keithminnionwoodshop no problem! Anything you can do to create less firewood, right?
Great design and now I know what a butter board is.
Inspiring!
OHM
Thanks for your comment!
Nice job. I lived in the Staunton VA area for about 15 years. Beautiful area with a lot of really nice people. Take care and have a LARGE DAY indeed!
Thanks! Yeah I love the town and the area.
Brilliant to design the measurement into the cutting board 👌
Thank you!
Well...I get it. Great visual gift, and as I have done a little cooking and baking, I remember trying to wrestle with a sliding piece of buttery slippery wax paper that at one time was wrapped around the stick of butter. Cutting the butter sorta accurate with the marks on the paper gets worse with each cut. I like it. Will be making one for a gift for my grandsons wedding along with a few other kitchen items. Need to add a walnut knife to the project.
OUTSTANDING
Thanks!
You should joint or clean up the edges of those boards for the glue up!
IMHO it is a novel idea but i find it hard to believe (especially in this economy) that enough people would spend $40-$60 for board that does the same thing that is already incorporated on the butter wrappers. Don't get me wrong, it looks great I just can't see it as a productive item.
Most of the butter boards I've seen are substantially thinner, but I do like the graduations you put on them. One fun item of note on those... butter in the western part of the country is much fatter/shorter sticks than those in the eastern part of the country (like the stick you based your measurement on) so your measurements only apply to them. :)
I'm glad you put this back up. I have to mention this, a butter board according to my measurements should be 17/32" for each TBLS. Does the glue on each piece actually add 1/32 inch to the total length?
It might - thanks for sharing!
the corner uses coins, it's amazing..
Like I’ve always said, people will buy anything you put in front of them.
I think it would have looked better if both ends of the center stripe were the same color, instead of one dark and one light. Other than that it looks good.
Man that little jointer sounds like it’s struggling. Is it getting full voltage?
That’s just the camera mic. The Wahuda is a beast. Thanks for the comment!
While the board looks great I can not for the life of me understand why somebody would use an 11” board to put a 4” stick of butter on and not just cut it directly from the stick and use the measurements on the wrapper. Maybe there are more people out there than I thought that have a lot more spare counter space than me and can throw out $50 for a product that isn’t necessary.
My sister asked me to make her one, and she used it at Thanksgiving to serve cheese.
@@keithminnionwoodshop then I would consider that a cheese board or a serving board but a board made for the purpose of butter seems strange to me. Especially one that incorporates the ability to get the measurements correct. Now if you wanted one to put the butter on a table for a family meal or something then one that is like 6”x 2” would seem accurate but with no measurement lines on it as you would just take what you wanted for your bread or meal. But I still think the bird looks great.
Its really just a hybrid "Charcuterie" I dont know who is buying these at $50 I cant sell them for $25 their even lasered with cool designs.
@@themegasexybasterd I think it really depends on the market you live in. I have seen people getting $500-800 for end grain cutting boards and I do not think I could even get $300 for an inlayed cutting board in my area. At least not consistently. Personally I think $50 is a bit on the cheap side. You are going to have at least $10 in materials and 2 hours of work between prep, glueing, cutting, sanding and finishing. So unless you only value your time at $20 an hour they should sell for more. That doesn’t even include any profit. I usually determine price by (material + (hourly rate x hours)) x 1.5. The 1.5 allows me to make a profit and pay for incidentals that may not be included in materials like electricity, sanding discs, insurance if needed. I can they pay myself for the work I did and then put the profit back into the business or hobby to buy new tools and materials.
A lot of people make their own butter in sticks much larger than the small 1” x 4” sticks you find in the grocery store. I imagine this was much more of a thing back in the olden days.
Very nice. Your guitar is a little out of tune though. 🙂
I was lucky to find that D at all!
I gotta say....I don't get it. The wrapper on the butter stick has the measurement on it. Who unwraps the whole butter stick to cut out 2 tbl spoons. One of the dumbest ideas I've seen. Sorry!
In these days and times the abundance of money overpowers the common sense.
Was the machine noise really necessary?Thanks for the vid. and teaching us what a "Butter Board" is.
I admit I like the sights and sounds of a working woodshop over a voiceover narration or music clip in these sort of videos. Thanks for the comment!
Heck yeah it's necessary. I wish so many more TH-cam creators would figure out to stop using cheesy/horrible/loud music or excessive talking (some is ok) and just let us hear what it really sounds like to create stuff in the workshop.
