5 Tips for Great Cutting Boards

[woodmakerworkshop]

One more tip when making cutting boards to give as gifts--complete the project but let it remain in raw form meaning no mineral oil. Include with the gift a bottle of mineral oil and permit the person or persons receiving it apply the oil and experience the AMAZING burst of color. They will thank you forever.

That tip at the jointer to make sure the 2 pieces will match perfectly was gold. I didn't know about that technique but will be trying it from now on. Thank you.

I have made all kinds of cutting boards over the years. Your "tricks" work and you even taught me one I did not know. Thanks!

[JustMightDIY]

Great tips. We always keep the offcuts from our projects. And it's amazing how often those pieces come in handy.

[brianaustin]

I should have watched this BEFORE I started my first board. But I'll recover and learn. Great tips!

I was smiling the entire way through. I'm kinda glad that grass cutting is almost over. I'm ready to do some woodworking.

Absolutely love the cutting board! I'm working on my first one for my wife. I'll defintely be using the tips you gave! Thanks!!!

I’ve made a bunch of boards and was looking for ideas to straighten out some lumber. I must say, very well explained, great visuals and I’m happy to see a carpenter do many steps similarly to me. Thank you for the great video and looking forward to more.

The clouds parted and the angels sang with the end result - it's beautiful.

"When the clouds part and the Angels sing" Love it!!

Wow! That pro tip about jointing 2 book matched pieces is just amazing. Thank you!

[DjNiX]

One of the most informative videos i've watched on this craft ! thank you!

You just designed my next coffee table for me.
Thnx!!!

Love the tip about putting the two haves together before running them through the planer to get a perfect join!! I'll be building my first guitar soon and that'll definitely come in handy!

Brand new wood worker here. Thanks for the explanation around how to get edges flat (so the plainer could flatter the other side).

This is, by far, the best cutting board I've ever seen.

Very nice. I like to place my boards in a low oven after wax/oil application. You can see the air bubbling out of the wood, and the physics of the situation suggest that, upon cooling, the material is drawn more thoroughly into the wood. In fact, you can easily tell the difference in the amount of residual wax and oil versus the usual room temperature technique.

Hey Matt ... first time viewer and extremely impressed with just how much information you packed into less than 10 minutes! Your presentation was organized, progressed well, and kept the interest high throughout ... not to mention that the board came out beautifully. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I recently retired and have dedicated much of my time to this wonderful hobby. My biggest problem, I'm sure shared by many baby boomers, of possessing the time, desire, a decent set of knowledge. The missing components?, money due to fixed budget and limited room to dedicate.
I would love to build beautiful boards much like you demonstrated in this video ... but limited resources say that paper towel holders may be a better match. Seriously, can you suggest techniques, alternative tools, hand tools etc that can give us budget guys a shot at this? Anything I'm sure will be a big help to us.
Congrats on a wonderful channel that I plan on spending much time on. Chees!!
