Reclaimed Oak + Walnut Cutting Boards
Ойын-сауық
I mill down oak from old barrels and add in some walnut to build 2 "brick wall" style end grain cutting boards. Both end up being around 16" x 20" and 2" thick. There's a lot of steps to cover and no shortage of action in this video as I walk you through why I do the things I do in my shop. Timestamps included below if you want to jump around to specific parts. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already done so and if you feel you've gotten some value out of this, please consider further supporting this channel through the Thanks button. I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.
Enjoy the show!

Happy I found your channel. You have a very straightforward way of describing your methods and techniques, a good sense of humor, and a positive attitude. Makes me excited to keep making my own stuff.
Excellent work. We've been using oak, yellow pine, larch, popular, maple, cherry, cypress and other woods making boards for over 40 years. Sold many 100's of boards, given away boards and have never once has anyone gotten sick from using one of our boards. There's nothing wrong with using those woods. We don't use walnut or any nut woods nor imported woods, domestic woods only. Thanks for sharing your work.

Ryan, I'm a new subscriber long time woodworker. Building highboys after 66 years in the shop is becoming a thing of the past. My lathe is my go to tool but my interest in cutting boards is getting stronger. Like your attitude and if you give me the nod I will use it in my opening remarks as I teach others the how to of our trade. Great video.

Fantastic job, Ryan! I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and I love your work. It's always a huge dose of inspiration. Actually, I'm getting ready to start my woodworking/DIY channel and at the moment I'm finishing the restoration of a 60-year-old jointer (which will make my first video). Tomorrow is the last day: assembly. And my idea for my first woodworking video is making a couple of end-grain cutting boards. What a coincidence. I already have a stack of 10-yea-old, unused white oak parquet boards which I'm going to repurpose into those boards. I hope your video is a good omen. :) Thank you for the inspiration and making me feel like a copycat! ;)

Your comment brought a big smile to my face, so glad to hear I’m being of service to you! All the best to you and your upcoming channel 🙂
I've watched hundreds of wood working videos and I've never seen somone use the saw backwards like that. It solves a huge issue. Also, the reason I avoid oak in cutting boards, I still use it now then, is that leaving metal on it with moisture will bring out the tannins and cause black stains. It's on my list to make a small solid oak end grain board and do the vinegar and steel wool thing on it to turn the entire thing solid black and see how the black layer holds up to use.

Awesome video, I build all my cutting boards out of many different types of wood, and White Oak is a large part of all of them. Been doing it for years, also use a lot of reclaimed wood. I like the barrel idea will have to get a hold of the couple of distilleries we have around me.

Great boards !! Great Concept. Alot of hard work is never fast and easy. As you can see, White Oak is used for Wine Barrels for a very good reason, its harder than Teak. Cutting boards need to be cleaned with Bleach or Alcohol, rinsed and re oiled because Foul Funk can grow anywhere on any wood especially with Meat and Fish.
With the 3-D cutting board what angle do you run the pieces through the bandsaw?
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Hello, Ryan, may I ask you if spending extra on quality featherboards like the one you have in your tablesaw @8:26 is worth it. I have found some cheap ones for 200 BRL, but idk if it's worth spending extra in that.
@ryanhawkins

I’ll say yes, although I don’t believe mine are the best ones on the market. I think I got a pair of them for around $35 CAD
***obligatory, you used oak for a cuttingboard comment*** :-) You edge jointed teh stave on the table saw with no jig? Parkt of the reason I don't use more staves is that using my jointer jig on the table saw makes using them cumbersome. If you showed a deteiled explination on this it could be a game changer for many folks. Great video! Great pace!

OK, just going to comment again rather than editing my last comment again. On the bandsaw you can create a zero clearance insert to avoid some of that blowout. Or a lazy way is to put some masking take across the slot next to the blade, doesn't last but it helps.

I’ve tried the masking tape method at the table saw in the past, does work well for a short time. I definitely need to look at something more permanent for my bandsaw.

Is CA glue food safe? I thought it wasn't so I have never used it on cutting surfaces.
@ryanhawkins
Жыл бұрын
Great question and one I wish I had a simple answer for. It seems like the internet leans towards it isn’t but some brands like Krazy and Rhino glue are considered food safe by the FDA, while others like Titebond and Starbond are not. Some say it’s only toxic while fresh and once dry it becomes inert like an epoxy. Others say it maintains its toxicity even when dry and softens when it comes into contact with water. I’ve used CA glue in my boards at home and I haven’t experienced it softening when wet. I’m of the opinion that it is non toxic once cured.

@@ryanhawkins Epoxy contains epichlorohydrin which is carcinogenic. Under the knife cuts, micro-particles of epoxy will mix food and you really don't what that. I guess it is the same for CA glue, don't want to eat micro-particles of CA glue.

Sounds like you need to add a drum sander to that wishlist. I have to borrow a friend's when I cut strips like that. Edit: Oh my, and some tables. You gotta stop putting that heavy stuff on the floor. For my backs sake, it hurts watching that.

Drum sander is on there for sure!
A small thing. You have all those barrels sitting there. Why not pop 1 at the end of the cutting table. All your cuts will fall into it and you wont have to collect them at the end from the floor. Same for your rubbish. I watched as you threw it onto the floor. Barrel or bin. Safety for you too.
