Great boards! I love the organic look of the walnut and the widely varying colors it provides.

Your videos are always so entertaining, and inspirational. I watch them over and over again, prior to building my own boards for your tips and the inspiration to make my own. Thank you and can’t wait to see you come back with more videos, hope you and your family are doing well.

I love the thoughts about picking the wood and the color/ wood selection. It’s inspiring

Terrific video, thanks. You put so much thought and care into this that, even after watching dozens of cutting board videos, I still got a lot of real value out of it. Well done.

Those are beautiful! I have a bunch of walnut and padauk that I'm gonna make boards today with. I love the rich color of padauk. Thank you for your video, it's very well done and amazing!

All the boards I have seen in your videos, are beautiful. Love to have some for my collection.

Everything can be art, you just have to see it, thanks for sharing

So awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Really enjoyed everything about your video...to me the Walnut was really special looking and I just got my Walnut for my first cutting board and am super stoked to get started after watching you're video. Thanks!!

Beautiful!! Everything about your videos AND your boards. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

I really like both boards - that light and dark that looks like a landscape in the Black Walnut board - Very Cool!!

Very smart. Love the colours!

Thanks for the tips.. You do some excellent work ! You sure live in a beautiful area. I just rode my bicycle across North Carolina, from Banner Elk, to Emerald Isle. So I got to see it close up and meet quite a few people. We stayed in smaller towns, and had some excellent food.

I just started watching your videos and I’m addicted! You do such a fabulous job shooting the videos and explaining what you are doing. I find it relaxing and therapeutic. I also enjoy how you weave in nature to your videos. Cutting boards are my next woodworking project I’d like to tackle. I’m fairly new to woodworking and I don’t own a planner so that is at the top of my list of tools I need to acquire. I noticed you don’t use a jointer. I always thought a jointer was a necessary tool when it comes to making a cutting board. Would like your opinion on that. Cheers!

GREAT boards. Those paduk tips are spot on. My first board did not have crisp boarders next to the RED! !! !!!

I really love the attention to detail when you create these boards

Good stuff. I like the incorporation of sapwood. I feel like not enough people utilize those nice contrasting boards that have a clear distinction between heartwood and sapwood.

Excelente, uno de los mejores videos que he visto de tablas de picar, gracias.

These are beautiful designs and your workmanship is remarkable. I have only used Padauk for accent stripes in my boards because I have feared that they will turn brown in time but will emulate your use as a primary wood. Also, I really appreciate your lead in shots of the forests, so beautiful.

Beautiful and yes - Thank you

We are so much alike. I've seen many boards made by many people and I don't care for the look of end grain boards. You can make many patterns, but pattern boards can't compete with edge or face grain boards if done right. As for durability, end grain boards are much more durable than edge or face grain and have many advantages over them. They don't dull knives as easily for one example, but, again, edge and face grain boards if done right really show off the uniqueness of the wood as opposed to end grain. I like to work with color, but when I do, I use it sparingly. I like to tease your eyes with a few small and unique pieces and sometimes with a dominant one in a non-uniform pattern. I no longer make thick boards that are large and heavy to handle. Most tell me that they like the thinner lighter boards that are easier to handle. They have more of a contemporary look that most other boards don't have. I make sure every board is silky smooth and soft to the touch. No sharp edges or corners are allowed. Too much color dulls the senses. And I usually put a very nice beveled edge on most of my boards to give them a thin platform look. This makes it easier to pick up the board without the need for handles of any type. I used to do handles and realized simplicity can add attributes to a board without making things more complicated. Again, slim, soft, warm, inviting. Your boards have those same qualities. Your wood selection shows patience and the desire to stimulate your visual acuity. It takes time to try the many combinations of wood pieces to get your boards to pop. Most wood workers are good at making boards, but lack the artistic flair that is needed to attract those who are willing to pay a good price for such work. You have what it takes to do just that. Thank you for sharing your desire to do good work. It's not how many boards you can make, but how many eyes you can catch.

Vey inspirational. Gave me interesting ideas! Thanks, I really appreciate your videos!

Its almost worse with end grain because the sawdust soaks into the pores, edge grain is little more forgiving.

I have to admit the walnut cutting board you made is definitely my favorite board I’ve seen. The lines tell a story just like the painting you did. It’s definitely a master piece that can’t be duplicated. The jig that you build for routing the juice lines what’s the dimensions? On the video it didn’t really show to much detail how it was made. Would love to duplicate it. Look forward to future videos.

Great video! Great tips on sanding the Padauk Wood! DD

VERY nice!! I make edge grain cutting boards with epoxy rivers. I use jigs for a lot of things. I made one for the "handles" & put a small piece on the sides so I don't have to line it up & can just clamp it down. I made a mold for mine from polyethylene & used threaded inserts so it goes together easily. Of course epoxy doesn't stick to it so its easy to de-mold. Now I can make all my boards the same size, 12X18.
