Making Incredible 3D End grain Cutting Board Tutorial

Hi, In this woodworking video, I take you through the process on how to create an awesome 3D end grain cutting board. This cutting board is inspired by one created by mtmwood, but was accompished with a different method. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: There are a few spots in this video where it looks like my hand is an unsafe distance from the blade. I can assure you that all cuts were made safely, and that my hand was not as close to the blade as the certain camera angles made it appear.

A really nice cutting board and more importantly an excellent instructional video with just the right amount of detail.

I think this is one of the best tutorials on CBs that I have seen. I really appreciate the dimensions and details.

[tonyhassett]

A lot of information I will work through it slowly. Not the sharpest tool but will get there great tutorial

[dawnbigwarfe]

Would you be able to share the final dimensions of your boards after planing them before glue ups? I want to try to make this board pattern

Beautiful board. Being able to visualize something like this in your mind and then transfer this vision to the wood is truly amazing.

Simply beautiful work! I have just completed my first chevron board, and this will be my next try! Thanks for the idea!

Neat video, nice process. Thanks for showing it, but holy h ck we don't need to every single board going through the planer and bandsaw etc ..we get it. I had to fast forward so much.

I have to ask...did anyone else notice the tiny swimming white duck at 11:01, or am I just going crazy?

I've been binge watching several cutting board videos lately, that's some impressive work!

GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO!! For those of you with a wider planer you can save glue time by attaching all 1/4" Maple strips, as mentioned, all at once to save a day of glue time.

Outstanding job. Lots of patience required.

[andreww]

Yes you are correct... This board looks awesome! Very nice indeed, great job. Out of all the boards I have een, I think I like this one the best, the depth is phenomenal.😊 I've never made before, but when I can get myself to that point in time, this is the baby. Andrew

Dude. This looks amazing. I'm blown away by the depth the illusion gives. I'm totally making one of these a a christmas gift.
Thank you!

This is a stunning cutting board with lots of important tips, techniques and warnings to make it accessible. I am a beginning wood worker, and have begun cutting my pieces out for this board. Wish me luck!

I enjoyed watching your video. It would have been extroinarily kind of you if you had given all the dimensions for all pieces so us rookies could share in your experience.
