I don't have a cnc, but I have a 3d printer and you sir just gave me an idea to improve my cutting board game.

[justinreformeddiyer]

I really appreciate the fact that you wanted to do it by hand and not on a cnc. A lot of us don't have a cnc so seeing how to do it by hand is more inspiring to try something like this. I have a few projects on youtube but not as nice as this. Great job Sir.

Trial and error that's how you learn and accomplish unique endeavors. It's a beautiful Board whichever side you cut on. Thank you.

Double up or even triple your tape for a stiffer epoxy dam. Thank you for showing how tessellations are made. Loved your video, creative design and finished work.

Love how it came out, and am entirely impressed by your creative problem-solving methods. As a food person, I'd use the epoxy side for setting up charcuterie or whatever kind of serving you might need while using the un-epoxied side for actual cutting.

Sending me back to sixth grade when I learned about tessellations. Thank you Bourbon Moth Woodworking! And thank you to Mrs Collins at PATS in Pensacola, Florida, circa 1980. ❤

[bruceallen]

thank you for teaching everybody a very important lesson about trying to router tiny pieces on a router table, scary moment!

This is nothing short of brilliant. I appreciate your willingness to take us along through your process, including the challenges, mistakes and solutions. Cutting boards are far from boring. They're probably my favorite things to make. They are substantial enough to not have micro-levels of tolerance, but small enough that I'll be able to build them even in my senior years. There are also so many ways to make them, that I'll never get board trying new methods and patterns. They make great gifts, and that moment that the oil makes the colors pop at the end of the project after all that time and work is one of the most satisfying things in woodwork. Not to mention, there's no need to mess with brushing/spraying poly finishes, sanding between coats or expensive lacquer. I love seeing creative takes on cutting boards like this, and I'll have to try something like this one day. Thanks to you showing your process my future attempt(s) will have a much higher rate of success and safety than they would have otherwise.

I’ve been doing woodworking for 50 years and I still learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

As some one who has been there and done that. Don't ever under estimate a set of cutters turning over 10K RPM no matter the size of said cutter. Had a 3/8 flush cut I was doing almost the same thing with. All I know is the first 4 or 5 went perfect but for what ever reason the next one grabbed and it was out of my hand. Reaction to try and hold it tight basically made me grab a hold of the router bit with my index finger and thumb. I was very lucky as it only removed the complete pad of my thumb and most my finger. I promise to God I now have mad respect for that little tool like never before. Lol Thank you for leaving that in the video so others can learn. A 3 hp plunge router you have no chance holing on if it bucks.

Very nice work, I especially appreciate the artistic intro with the explanation of how to create a tessellation. Maybe you can experiment with other designs in a future video, it would be intriguing.
Happy that you can still count up to ten! That was scary, but you got the right solution to the problem!

[SpareRoomSlotCars]

First, the cutting board looks great. Second I am happy to see that you didnt get more than a scare and that you chose to leave your close call in the video. Its a great reminder to everyone that accidents can happen in an instant and always listen to that little voice inside your head that says is this really safe

[sphlouge]

As a furniture maker of 59 years, I’ve made more cutting boards of all types out of fall offs of projects. Probably 100’s . This was an excellent video. Well thought out and Explained in easy terms. I’ve taught my craft for most of my career. You have a knack for explaining every detail and keep it interesting. . Something a lot of people who have videos on YouTube do not have that “knack”. Kudos! Great speaking voice as well. I’ll be sure to watch more of your videos. I’d love to do YouTube videos, but electronically challenged is putting it mild. Keep on making dust my fellow wood chopper!

[TotalBoat]

This turned out amazing. Beautiful board and design!

[kellyatten]

I stupidly lost part of my right thumb trying to route a small piece of wood. Thank you for doing what you can to show how to do things safely.

This has to be the most gorgeous cutting table ever, doesn’t even look real, it’s to perfect 😍

[lauraandedwardcannon]

I’ve taught math for years and always loved doing this with students. Would love to see you do more like this.

First, the board looks awesome. You never fail to amaze me in the lengths and time you are willing to pour into a project. Second, I am so glad that you were willing to "lower" yourself to make a cutting board. I make lots of stuff, but I actually enjoy making them in between projects. I think you should make othe small projects. Your attention to detail will make them successful.
One thing I would Ward against on the board you made is that using apoxy is kind of risky. Basically, with a wooden surface, when you use it, you might get micro fibers of cut wood in your food. Fiber, no big deal. But, with apoxy, now you are going to get pieces of plastic in your food. Not that it is going to kill anyone, "this too, shall pass".
In closing, I do appreciate the fact that you are making stuff. To many of the woodworking youtibers have turned their channel into a "product review channel" or an editorial piece. They forgot what made them what they are today. Please don't ever forget.
Oh, one question. . . Duck, or Beaver?

[craigtoo]

This is great! A cool twist on the millions of cutting board videos out there. Thanks !!
