Elegant and stylish. A very handsome piece that would grace any dining table.

Rod, another beautiful work. I hope the recipient of that piece watches this video so they can appreciate the work that went into it. I chuckled as you were working, thinking "is he using my shop when I'm out of town" because we have the same planer, jointer, and drum sander. And, although it didn't show, your dust collector sounds like mine. I've been working over the years to build up my shop with good machines. Here's a piece of advice for possibly younger workers. When I take on a new project at home, I tell the wife "here's what we'll save by me doing it versus hiring someone, but I'll need to buy a new tool for it". The cost is a small percentage of the savings. Plus, the quality is better because I determine when it's "good enough".

Very beautiful sir have a great weekend ✌️

I think that's perhaps the most beautiful woodworking item I've seen on KZread, Rod, and I've seen a lot. The extra banding down the middle really sets it off. I have the advantage of having lived in France for many years and charcuterie is cold cooked and cured meats normally cut very thinly. It's a very skilled job and one who engages in it is a charcutier. All supermarkets have a charcuterie counter but I preferred the family-owned shops where the skills had been handed down through generations. Charcuterie is hugely popular and the board is ideal for slicing and presenting it. The most highly skilled aspect of charcuterie is drying raw ham and slicing it very thinly. A little glass of white chilled wine helps a lot. Cheers. Semper Fi

Good morning, Rod. Gorgeous project for us to witness today. A bunch of steps, thoughts before and during the build along with the enjoyment of the finished piece. The veneer added the detail to set this board apart from many others. Believe I would grab a chair and simply reflect on the beauty this eye catching board. I have used tung oil as a finish on a cutting board and the lady who received it didn't care for the smell. Wondering if that is the reason the orange oil was added. I know your mentioned you were following a procedure used by another craftsman. Thank you, brother. God bless + S/F

Good morning, Ray! My nose (on my face mostly for decoration...) didn't pick up on a bad smell, but the orange solvent is nice. It also thins out the oil and allows better penetration.

Absolutely beautiful! How many layers of oil did you add before the wood said “done”? Does one have to match the wood’s porosity to obtain an even finish? Amen to Romans 10 Verse 9! Our pastor is preaching in Romans right now! God bless you! Thank you for your service! Semper Fi!
