Making White Oak End Grain Cutting Boards

I always imagined you needed a drum sander or wide belt sander to pull off these end grain boards, but it turns out all you need is a standard planer and simple precautions. In this video I show how I made 2 white oak end grain cutting boards.

I don get tired to watch this video. I get some of oak I’ll try one. 😁Where did you get the flush trim bit? I think you didn’t put on the list. 😁

Great video! I'd be interested in where you got your logo coins from?

Hi, did you start with 4 quarter oak? And what was the final dimensions of your boards? Thanks,

Who or where did you get the coins made?

Just a heads up…it’s generally not advised to use oak for endgrain cutting boards due to it’s open pore structure. It tends to be much more likely to harbor bacteria and moisture which can lead to health issues. Tighter grained hardwoods like maple, beech, and cherry are better options. Walnut is nice as well, though people with nut allergies ought to avoid it to be safe.

It looks to me you're using white oak. If that's the case, then you're using closed grain wood. Wine makers have been using white oak in barrels for decades.
Red oak can potentially be problematic. You should be just fine!

No no no. Never oak in a cutting board
