i feel like we could be kindred spirits because you see the picture in the woods. i get really excited when i see the grain just pop out. when i saw the guitar i knew we were kindred spirits. your easy demeanor and explanations make watching your videos a joy. many blessings upon your household young man.

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.

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

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.

Just started making c boards 4 months ago and have watched many c board videos. These are I believe the prettiest ones I’ve seen. Great tips for putting one self above all the others. Thanks and subscribed!

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!

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

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

This is a great video for cutting board techniques, design, wood selection and creative finishing for the most appealing look. Well done.

Great job as usual Jacob. The way you use your artistic gift to create your cutting boards is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words, We all have our own unique gifts, through the years I've gotten more acquainted with mine and realized the importance of using them.

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.

WOW these are amazing . You obviously have a gift on seeing what woods will go best with each other. Simply Beautiful.

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!

This has to be the best Cutting Board video out there and the painting was very beautiful.

Awesome job for the boards and even better at explaining. There’s a lot of people that can make things but don’t explain/teach well. Thankfully you got both!

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.

Love the boards, but I think I love that router sled even more; that's awesome! (and I'm probably going to copy it for myself...)

I hear ya, End grain is at the top of the cutting board food chain, I'd put edge grain in second. I like to offer a slightly less expensive board and still give it the wow factor, not always an easy feat. There's definitely a place for edge grain, Thanks for the feedback!!

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!

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.

Thanks for your comments, and you are correct Paduak will over time turn brown and lose a lot of its color. The good thing is You can always bring the color back with a quick sand and refresh.
