I cut off the tongue and groove edges and glued and clamped three edge to edge for the mold base. Then ripped some strips for the side and ends. I'm going to take another plank off the Ash and make the left and right sides. I'm planning for a 2" or 3" clear River in the center with thin layer of epoxy on the bottom, spreading coffee beans, then filling the remainder of the river. I wanted 16 x22 but my planer is only 12". I may have a lot of sanding ahead of me.

    This cutting board looks wow! Really pretty. There is just one problem that i see. Epoxy cratches easily and i not really knife resistant. And as it scratches epoxy dust will stick to your knife and to the food. Given the toxidity of epoxy, this can't be food safe.

    I didn't do anything to the edges of this particular pour because it was a smooth cut on the band saw, rather than a live edge so I didn't have to worry so much with trapped air. I have used epoxy to seal edges on other projects and it does work for preventing air bubbles but I have had just as good results popping the bubbles with either a torch or a heat gun.

    Hi Kelly I really like the way your cutting board turned out. I was wondering about the Pro Marie epoxy you are using in your video. I will be using the same epoxy resin on a cutting board that I will be making for my new sister in law . I read that this epoxy can not be poured above 1/8” or it will heat up and crack up, how thick is your cutting board and how much did you pour at one time?

  • @dagragg
