After making many of these, there are several tips and tricks I've picked up through the years. Use the timestamps to skip around if you're looking for something in particular.

You’re the man mate. Best video yet. I’ve learned so many amazing tips from you. Thank you so much!

I love your work and your videos are fantastic! I’m a beginner woodworker and your videos have been a tremendous help. Bonus- I spent the first 30 years of my life in WA state, so thanks for representing the home state so well 😊

Great info !!! I’m just starting into boards like this. Thanks again!!

[mikedisimile]

Thank you very much. Great job explaining everything

[malcolmmeares]

G'day mate, awesome work on your boards, very informative, your explanation on the process of making these are spot on. Glad you included the wetting down process alot of others don't include this step, as I learnt the hard way when I first started making boards, I actually like to mix up different species of Australian hardwoods as well as any exotic species I can get my hands on. Keep up the good work cheers

I really like Tried and True. Use on all my food use boards.

The “Wood Whisper” recently released a video on finishes. I now will exclusively be using 100% Tung oil. You probably can find the video I think you will appreciate it.

Wow, thank you. Now I have something to compare my first one with so that hopefully I'll be able to improve until I get one to look half as good as yours. One question, well one for now. Can I use bowling alley wax?
