- I just love how this cutting board turned out. I combined walnut and maple to create the elegant chevron pattern. If you want to build your own cutting board watch my video for ideas and inspiration to make yours even better.
⚠️ Make sure you push your wood all the way through your table saw. I am not an expert and have learned a lot since this video. If you are new to woodworking you should work with a certified instructor. This video is just for entertainment purposes.
What I used:
Glue Brush: amzn.to/2LsSSdK
Wood Glue - homedepot.sjv....
Maple - homedepot.sjv.... (I cut mine down from a slab but this is similar wood)
Black Walnut
Mineral Oil - amzn.to/2YpdRnU
Cutting board Oil - amzn.to/2YnPJ4U
Round over bit - amzn.to/3fFQ36S
Bit for handles - amzn.to/2AjTDTY

As a pro cabinet maker for over 42 years i found this to be one if the best tutorials i have seen. Well done and very professional. Not some eye candy click bait but real craftsmenship by a real woodworker.. Excellent.
Thanks Paul, much appreciated.
Kudos for how you throw in, "I should have done this ----" a few times. Says a lot about you the way you are willing to help others and pass along the good and the bad! I really like the cutting board also! Subscribed!
Thanks Joe. Since most of these projects I'm trying for the first time I'm definitely not an expert so I figured hopefully others can learn what to do as well as what not to do. Glad to hear you liked that. Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. :)
Your attention to the details speaks volumes of your work!! As a dad to a 22 year old, proud to see women knocking out this kind of work.
Thanks Alonso 😀
I happened on this video to show my son what people make with lathes. My husband came in and we were in love with this. Your design is beautiful along with your choices in wood. We appreciate your level of talent and sharing it with us "still in the dreaming" stage. Turned out great.
Thanks Gayle. I am new to lathe work, you'll see my new video out later today on my first attempt. People do such amazing things with them. Hope your son had fun turning projects. 😀
What an era we live in. So many millions of educational videos available on the internet. You can learn so many things!
Very Nice. I read your comment that you are not all that experienced. I never would have known. I've been making furniture for 4 decades and enjoyed your style.
Thanks Jim! I’m always learning and trying new things!
Beautiful. Thank you. Shown it to my daughter she is 17. And already she is your fan. She is in to woodturning and takes interest in wood working too. Now i am assured that you are going to be her motivation. Thanks. From India.
Mrutyunjaya M that makes me so happy to hear. Wow, she is off to a great start already. So nice to see more female wood workers 😊
It is a pleasure to observe a skillful and creative woman ... You are a professional of wood and design
Thank you so much
One thing that would make this video a bit nicer...show off the end result a little bit more for us to admire! It looks amazing.
Great feedback Pieter, I’ll try to show off the project more at the end. 😀 thanks for taking the time to comment.

That music was very distracting. Your narration was enough
Wasted all that time watching and she doesn't show it??? 😡
So Much From So Little, Well Done Chevron You Knocked It Outta The Workshop !!!
Thank you 😀
"I CLAMPED AS BEST AS I COULD"
you did rad.
Thanks Richard 😁
Walnut and maple is my fav combo. Great video thank you
Thanks, it’s mine too 😊
Que orgullo! Ver a una mujer manejar tan bien las maquinas y verla haciendo diseños tan hermosos con la madera. Dios te bendiga. Desde Colombia te envio un abrazo, eres un orgullo para las mujeres
Gracias!
EXCELLENT woodwork !!! I LOVE the finished product. I’m just surprised that you use a push (only) stick on the table saw. I use a tool made of plywood that looks much like a handsaw, only instead of a blade, this tool has a smooth surface and a notch that pushes the workpiece along - and now the important part - the front part of it holds the workpiece down, and thus minimises the risk of kick-back. Thank you for your great input !!! 👍❤️👍
I appreciate all your honesty, esp. When making a mistake. Shows INTEGRITY.
Thanks for the feedback 😀
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !! Been looking at a lot of cutting boards .... I think I just found my winner !! Thank You !! You certainly are an inspiration to wood workers everywhere !!
Thanks so much for the nice comment Art. Have fun making your cutting board. 😊
Great finished product! I also appreciate everyone’s willingness to learn together here, explaining where you feel you could improve and others sharing their knowledge and experience in the comments. I learned a little from the video and comments. Thank you to everyone!
Kris Johnson yes I totally agree, such a great point. It’s so nice to hear from those more experienced so we all can improve.
nice tips on wood working such as using sander instead of planer to minimize chip out since grains are inconsistent in direction. im a newbie and just want to learn as much as possible from every crafts person out there. nice work!
Great way to start Kam. That's how I'm learning as well. Can't wait to hear what you build.
I'm just envious of all that equipment
Seriously. If i want to make this same cutting board, looks like its going to cost me a couple G's.
Hey hun, i made you a $2800 Cutting board and btw i now have all these awesome wood working tools. 🤣😂🤣
@@UserUser14880 other than the drum sander and the jointer, everything else seemed budget friendly. They are still quality tools, but not at the price of Festool or SawStop like I've seen on other channels.
Get a job, save your money, buy tools. Almost no one is born owning a woodworking shop. Also, envy is just a waste of energy.
@@NFHYet muslim racist!
@@UserUser14880 The jointer alone is a $3000 tool. So, yeah, an expensive cutting board.
Well done! I enjoyed this very much. (Note: @4:24, I'm glad you didn't push end-grain through a jointer. It's really dangerous.)
Good to know! Thanks for the comment!
One suggestion about the the kickback situation: raise the blade. Because the forces created by the blade is basically perpendicular to the circle's radius, it basically always want to push up and backward. If you raise the blade it provides two force on the wood: one up and one downward. Also, use the top blade guard. It helps to hold down the wood if it tries to fly up. And if you cut a narrow piece like this, flip your fence. The smaller edge with a wider space is specifically designed to narrow cuts like this. (And it makes possible to use the top blade guard.
Marvelous board for sure! Not sure I'll be trying this one as I've done 2 chevron-like boards recently. I think I would just draw a 45 deg. line across staggered pieces (to aid in lining them up) and mark lines on the glue faces so as to not put glue on surfaces that would not be in contact. Then do a regular glue up and forget the 45 degree jig. When ready, cut a 45 across one end to start.
You are good!
I especially like the tip to use parchment paper.
Enjoyed your video.
Keep up the good work.
Rick
Thanks Rick 😊
After watching, probably dozens of cutting board video's. I think you are the first to show how to cut finger recesses, from start to finish. Loved the board and subscribed. Thanks.
ragingbull alf thanks for the feedback and for subscribing 😊
I have made several dozen boards and normally use a spiral bit to cut the recesses on a router table but that bit you used looks like a much better solution. If I don't have one, I'm going to buy one.
I’m going to have to checkout the spiral bit, I don’t think I have one.
Awesome I was looking a pattern to make my counter tops, I think I found it. Just a tip, please display your finish product longer at the end of videos to really let people look and enjoy your stuff. Good job!
Agreed, quick walk around for finished product!
Great tip, thank you. A counter top chevron pattern would be really sweet!
You r such a brilliant wooden master.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 😊
It was excellent. You have great carpentry skills.
Thank you very much!
That's not carpentry, it's woodworking

I thoroughly enjoyed your craftsmanship. Thanx
You’re welcome, thanks for commenting William
Very nicely done. Bravo oh almost forgot to mention you inspired me, now i “gota make one”. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the comment! 😊
WHY would anyone dislike this vid?! It’s very informative, creative, and shows why these projects are so cool! Subscribed!
Thanks Bret, much appreciated. 😀
That was amazing. I’m pretty new to woodworking and I have been dying to make a cutting board. I would to try this.
Thanks Jolon! You should totally give it a shot - It is worth it. Good luck with your build.
Very nice and I see you have all your fingers which to me means you know what you're doing so keep it up. The last picture of the board (with the cut green onions) makes it look like it is "stepped" and not flat. Very interesting. Thanks.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment Rob. I am definitely still learning. 😀
Just a heads up, you glue the original strips together normally, you can then cut them into 1" strips at a 45° angle instead of trying to glue at 45° from the start. This method will give you more waste......but will also ensure a perfect glue up without any need for a jig or worry.
Other than that, looks good.
That’s a great idea, thanks for commenting
If you glue them together as a 45° stair, the waste should be even less than in the video
Yes, but you will have to do several glue ups to ensure a good glue up, or dedicate 2 clamps for each board.
Soooooo wonderful ❗👍
I did open the video, because I couldn't believe, that the board is flat.
🤣 that’s pretty funny.
This is my favorite cutting board video. Any chance I use hand plane tools if I don't have the stand alone?
You can totally use hand planes. I need to get better with mine because that is an impressive skill to have.
@@AroundtheHouse btw, f this lol definitely do not use a hand plane tool unless it's electric. Fml
Hell yeah! Gorgeous cutting board. I'm also stoked to see more women in woodworking! I teach woodworking to kids, and am always trying to turn it into less of a boy's club. One thing that helps is showing them videos for project inspiration that feature women in woodworking, so I may show them this video if we do cutting boards! I'm stoked you're out here on TH-cam making beautiful art. Keep at it! I also totally want to make a chevron board now, even though I already have several cutting boards. That walnut is gorgeous too, it's exceptionally dark!
What a great thing to teach woodworking to kids. I really like that you try to get girls/women interested too. A fun activity but also a handy skill for home owning. Thanks so much for the comment Evan, happy building.
NOW frame it put it and give it to them as a beautiful to hang on their wall as a piece of art and go buy them a cutting board from walmart
🤣😂🤣
Very nice. Wetting the board before finishing is a good move. I have finish sanded after a few coats of oil soak in and it turns out well. Gets a polished effect.
Andrew Romano that’s a great idea, I will definitely try it. Thanks for the comment.
I like it...I like it a lot!!!
😍😍😍
Thanks Ariana
It's nice to see a woman as a carpenter.!!🔥🔥🔥 On fayaaaaa.!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks Olvin, you're the best! 😁
Love the effect. If you could make the presentation at the end a little longer so we could appreciate it more. Thank you
Xave thanks for the comment, I’ll definitely work on that, thanks for the comment
I paused the video.
Nice video and good ideas. I really liked how you sped up the video during the repetitive actions. So many on youtube like to hear themselves talk just for the sake of making the video longer (I think). And thanks for sharing what you would do differently next time. Wish I had a drum sander. Nice job!!
Thanks for the feedback Mahlen, always nice to hear what people like so I can make my videos better.
When you were using the miter saw to true the glued up edge, you mentioned next time using the jointer for that. Trying to joint end grain (even with a helical head) is incredibly dangerous so please don’t do that. Also watching you push that maple through the blade while it was lifting made me pucker a little. And lastly, Titebond III is a much better choice for gluing up cutting boards due to its water solubility characteristics.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I've definitely learned a lot from the comments.
I see absolutely no 'danger' in milling end grain on a jointer. I've done successfully over and over. Make sure to take a very minimal cut and be very slow and gentle at the very end as this will minimize the tear out at the end.
@@dborch388 You mill glued strips of different end grains on a jointer? I was hoping someone addressed the danger in working the end of that segmented board like she was contemplating. I would never run something with glue joints like that over a jointer. It could easily get torn apart and shot off the tool with quite a bit of force. There are less dangerous methods. I use a large table saw sled for that purpose. I would not suggest milling end grain like that to anyone. Be careful with those tools.
You can also mix your own glue with casein & lime. Its natural and water resistant and somehow fun :D
Very good!!! very beautiful 🇧🇷
Thank you 😀
Nice job, my first thought when you were cutting the strips was "use a splitter behind the blade"
might help prevent that pinching and kickback possibilities.
oops, I see it now...
I have a riving knife but this is a great tip. Essential for safety. Thanks for the comment.
Might be time for a new blade.
Escelente trabajo¡¡ que hermosa la tabla. Un gran saludo desde Córdoba Argentina
Muchas gracias Miguel. Mi primer mensaje desde Córdoba Argentina. ¡Muy divertido! 😀
When i saw you cutting with the bandsaw i had flash backs of when i almost cut my middle finger off. Please lower the guard 🙏
Good call, I'll watch that. Thanks for the feedback.
She didn't even use a band saw in the video
Bravo, bravo, bravo svaka čast. Pozdrav iz Srbije!
Puno hvala na komentaru. Pozdrav drvoprerađivačima u Srbiji. Nadam se da sam dobro preveo. 😊
Be careful running end grain on your jointer as you said you should have done to flatten your 45 degree edge a table saw and sled might be a better idea
Al maylin thanks for the tip, I really appreciate any safety tips.
Came to say the same thing. As someone who has tried it and had it the jointer splinter the end grain and shoot a pice of it into my hand, I would not recommend it.
Oh that’s awful, thanks for taking the time to comment. It’s been so nice to see people share their knowledge with others in the comments.
It's nice to see a woman doing woodwork. I don't know why more don't. It's not hard and gives one a chance to create. There's something for everybody.
Thanks so much for the support Phillip 😁
11:07, genius optical illusion.
Thanks Edson
Thank you for sharing this. It is beautiful ! Can you tell me where to get the little 'feet' you put on the bottom please.
safety tip: push your wood all the way through to avoid that kickback.
Thank you, I'll be sure to do that. 😀
@@AroundtheHouse dont listen to that loser
Look again, the push end was at a 45° angle, pushing further places pressure at the fence with potential for the strip to engage the back side of the blade. Pushing completely through was the higher safety risk option. Stopping the blade while keeping downward pressure on the piece was the best option.
@@timm3792 hey man you're right. Disregard what I said for this type of cut. My bad.
@@justindecker9557 coming from a guy with that name. Good one.
That was freaking awesome! My Husband is the woodworker and I watched because I want him to make this for our Daughter for Xmas. Now I understand why he has so much fun!
😆 great comment Myakinass. You need to get in the shop too, don’t let him have all the fun.
Your video helped me a lot to give a chance a try o make my own cutting table with Chevron pattern. It was very difficult tô clamp the first stage of the strips. uau!!! I almost gave it up, but it came out pretty good. I wish to send you a photo, my inspirational woman .
Yay, I’m so glad it turned out. Yeah that clamping was a bit tricky for me too. I’d love to see it Edson aroundthehouse1@outlook.com
i don't want to be "that guy" but you really should push your work pieces all the way through your table saw as you cut them.
I agree. Less burning and less chance of kickback.
As I was going to say..... bad practice = 9 fingers or one eye.
She should probably also consider wearing long sleeves and long pants...
I agree. I don’t understand, why a person wouldn’t push them all the way through.
And you don't have to turn the saw off everytime you cut a piece. The push stick is made to be eaten by the blade.
Hello from Uzbekistan. I admire your skill.
Thank you so much 😊
Excellent clean work, only the music was not needed at all.
Looks great and so does the cutting board
Thanks Shane 😀
I wish I could move that fast,I’d get more done
OMG, right? 🤣
I would also like to let you know how sexy a woman is when she knows her way around a wood shop. Very nice.
Beauty board, will definitely make a couple this winter, Video is short and to the point.
Thanks for the comment Steven. Good luck with the building. If you end up building one I'd love to see it. 😊
I hate to be that guy also. A chevron pattern looks nice but it won't stand the test of time. Your strips are glued up end grain to end grain which is very weak. You're relying on the strength of the glue to hold things together. Also you should remove all burn marks before gluing. Glue can't penetrate burn.
Pat Scott thanks for the tips
Beautiful walnut
Thanks a lot
Do it yourself, go to Stodoys plans and learn how to make it.
Beautiful work

Very nice job!! Very articulate and detailed. There is a lot of hard work in what you just did, I would recommend using Titebond III which is water proof instead of Titebond II which is water resistant. It will last longer.
Thanks for the tip!
I enjoyed your video. Where can I find a red laser for my Dewalt sliding compound miter saw? I get the shadow line if the lighting is right. I think the red laser line would be an improvement. Keep up the good wood working.
That laser is so handy. When I bought my saw it was something they offered. I bought it and installed it. Now they only offer the shadow line. I much prefer the laser light, not sure what Dewalt was thinking.
