Charcuterie/serving board with coffee grounds as wood filler 

Love the coffee use! This is awesome, Larry!

This is why I love RU-vid - we get to peek into someone else's workshop and find little pockets of genius there. Everyone else fills voids with resin; you fill them with what we all have in stock - glue and coffee grounds. I am definitely going to try this. Thank you for posting.

Appreciate watching a craftsman, making beautiful wood products without CNC machines and other very expensive tools that many of us cannot afford and/or don’t have a huge workshop. Thank you.

Seen plenty of epoxy filled ones but this was a first. Love this idea! Beautiful board!

That is so beautiful! I love the idea of the coffee grounds and they made a beautiful contrast.

Had to hit the line button when you said "I love the smell of cherry wood in the morning". I love it too! Admirable work

I make a finish for my boards using Bees wax and mineral oil, heated together in a crockpot. I usually add a few drops of essential oil to add a pleasant fragrance.

Thnx . Great tut. LOVE the coffee idea and the end result is beautiful.

Nice..never seen the coffee grounds used before looks great

I love it. Its new but rustic looking.

Just saw this video and instantly subscribed , just love how you are 🥰 I hope you many more beloved years for you and your loved ones

This is brilliant going to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful board.

Great video. But perhaps the very best part is seeing old, weathered hands skillfully crafting a work of art. Those are the kind of hands which can feel an imperfection in a piece of wood that even the eyes can't detect. Thanks for the video.

Thank you sir!

WOW that is beautiful

Nice present .

So nice..

Great job I try to use sawdust form the pice I'm working on to fill holes with glue I might have to try your coffee trick

Love it !i think I can handle it for a first time attempt!

Outstanding. i was wondering if it would make sense to partially fill the crack with the coffee grounds and glue. And them come back with an epoxy over that to seal it properly. I know you said it was a show piece, but just wondering.

Always go bigger with charcuterie boards. That entire scrap could have been used for one board. Awesome project Larry. I stumbled upon your channel and Im glad I did. Thanks for sharing. May I share my thoughts on safety and possibly an easier methodology...my router experience is limited but using a router table to do pieces like yours is easier for me to keep the edges uniform. Keep up the great work Larry!

Coffee grounds are a good idea. Turned out great. U dun good.

I love this video! My son is a master acoustic guitar maker and last year, at my age of 72, he got me interested in woodworking and I've made a ton of shop helpers and things for the home and office, so I understand your love of the art. The coffee grounds are genius! ~ going to try that. I hope the kids liked their charcuterie boards. Just a bit of trivia, charcuterie in French means "cooked flesh", isn't that yummy? ~ New subscriber

Great video good sir. I have seen other people water the wood before the final sand, to raise the unfinished surface. Is that a good practice? Many thanks.

Love the video. What kind of glue did you use and can you cut on it ? Thank you

Which router did you use?I make these as well and I really enjoyed your process! The dramatic change in the wood appearance after you applied the oil made everything worthwhile!

Just ran across your Channel you're the first person I've ever seen used coffee grounds I've seen people use sawdust with the glue to fill imperfections. Of course I've seen people use epoxy. But long-term how does the coffee grounds holds up

Parabéns 👏

So you use coffee grounds an wood glues for filler ?

Hi Larry, Very innovative. I was exploring the web, looking for a commercial, dark wood filler when I came across your video. I can't think of a more appropriate color to go into my oak tiller that has a crack running the length on both sides, especially since I wanted to finish it with a clear varnish. Question: How well did the repair stand up?

Hi Larry, great idea of using coffee grounds and wood glue. I was looking closely at your finished product and it seemed to have nooks and crannies in your patch job. I like my patching on the boards to be perfectly flush with the rest of the board. Was what I perceived to be nooks and crannies just the camera angles, was it intentional on your part to give it a rustic look or is that as good as we can get the patches using the coffee grounds.

How is it holding up? The glue + coffee? :)

Do you have long term experience? Is this mixture of coffee and glue durable? Thank you!

This might be a dumb question. Are they used coffee grinds or just regular?

Wouldn't the coffee grounds disintegrate?

Could this technique be used on a butcherblock countertop?

What size round over bit?

Why didn’t u use epoxie. Great board I don’t like to throw away character boards either
