After making a gentlemen’s box with a plaid interior ( • Make a Plaid Pattern O... ), I’ve received multiple requests for how to make a plaid cutting board. This video takes you step by step though the process, resulting in a stunning end grain plaid cutting board. It’s a mix of domestic woods that are pretty easy to obtain. I used maple, cherry, oak, and walnut. My cutting board is approximately 16”L x 12”W x 1.5”T. You can make your board any size that you want. The steps do not have to be changed if you want to make a different size board.
Making the board requires five glue-ups. I glued together two panels that consisted of stripes of maple and oak, and cherry and oak. After cutting those into strips, I glued those pieces together to form a checkerboard. You could stop at this point, but I like the look of dark stripes so I sliced the board length-wise and glued in walnut strips. After it dried, I then cut the board sideways and added additional walnut strips. The end result is a really cool pattern that people gawk over!
BONUS FOOTAGE!
I didn’t use the commonly applied mineral oil finish to this cutting board. Instead, I went an entirely different way and used wood bowl finish. In the latter half of the video, I show the step by step how to apply this finish to make a well protected cutting board that doesn’t build up a film and doesn’t weep mineral oil like regular boards.
Here’s a list of tools and materials that I used to make this board. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I like the attention to detail when making your glue up jigs. A little planning and test glue ups goes a long way to a successful outcome. I see a lot of cute videos on cutting boards, but many of them seem to be random patterns. This is more pleasing to the eye. and who doesn't like plaid?

@ijm0711 3 года назад

Fantastic work.! I really love the tones provided by the Maple and the Cherry, and while it looked great before adding the Walnut, that little extra design detail (and a lot of extra work!) really put it over the top. Fantastic work, and thanks for sharing!

@markartusio 3 года назад

Great video! Nicely filmed, nice commentary, and the board is certainly beautiful. I really like your work. That said, I do have a couple of comments. First of all, I don’t know where people get this idea that you cannot use a planer to plane these cutting boards down. I know what people say, that it will end up exploding, kick back out, and the machine will toss shards of metal around your shop, creating an Armageddon scenario!. Well, I have experimented with this for years, and i’ve made about 200 end grain cutting boards. I always use my planner to plane it down ( previously a Delta Lunchbox and now Dewalt 735). I use the following method: Use hot glue and shims to stabilize it on a flat length of MDF. Make sure the blades are sharp. Make passes in only tiny increments of thickness, maybe 1/256 Before passing them through the planer, use a hand plane to create a small 45 degree bevel on the trailing edge. This will prevent chip out. Remove from MDF and repeat on the other side. It leaves it so flat that it only takes 5 MINUTES of sanding to complete the project! Second of all, I really do think the mixing of end grain with edge grain will lead to failure. I have done so with only 3 boards, and all three cracked and fell apart in a few months from differential wood movement. Again, I think the board is beautiful and it’s a great video. And I now wait for the correction posse to come after me.

@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924 4 года назад

I'm a woodworker and when i think of the work that has gone into this and only just over a 1000 views its pitiful, Its been a love of woodworking to make this, the hours and hours that this must have taken there is probably not a price tag you could put on this that someone would buy it at to represent what it cost to make. You need pushing up the ladder my friend. Incredible piece of work. Beautiful cutting board, almost a shame to cut into it, I think I would want you to rout a drip tray just around the inside edge and I would cut up and serve my Sunday roast beef on that piece of wood. I saw the video on inventables and popped over to see what more is for viewing. Thanks.

@@NewtonMakes I think personally it needs to go in to a design shop to be sold as a piece of art somewhere in a city so that people can see how its made, with the video on a loop alongside, or a gallery , its so difficult to price but has to be in the high hundreds minimum just to cover basic costs. Its a piece of woodworking art really not to be used. It would have driven me insane to cut all those pieces out time and time again, My cnc would have said never again!! This is showing a process that is capable and not done as people simply can not afford this work as labour price over the years have exceeded the value of what people do "inflation" or can afford or understand . It really is a very good piece. Needs to go on show.

@heidbumbee1689 3 года назад

Nice work. Been looking at some comments questioning the gluing of end grain. When I watched the video all I saw was side grain glue up. Most of the end grain is on top..... and as expected also on the bottom as that is how grain works and this was clearly demonstrated when the finish rapidly passed through the project from top to bottom through the grain. Methinks some commenters have been too close for too long to solvent glue...... Trippy

@aaronwunderlich3070 3 года назад

@Ben Moore lol who needs books and the knowledge of those who have failed and learned before us? You do you though and when you get your first breadboard end that explodes because you glued the whole thing, remember it’s just some wives tale. There’s no issue with playing around and seeing what works but when you start a video with “I’m going to show you how...” you expect that this guy knows what he’s doing. Grain rotations on a board that will certainly see heavy moisture is a silly bad idea and it’s unfortunate that someone may watch this and think otherwise. Or that they cannot safely run end grain through a planer (you certainly can...with proper prep). Or that you need a $4k CNC to flatten a board, etc.

@Ben Moore glue up panels of walnut then cut them across the grain, making them end grain, then rip them into 1/8” strips.

Also, I laughed so hard at your comments about finishes. People really get too uptight about cutting board finishes. A microscopic film, unless it’s arsenic or something, isn’t going to hurt you. I got chastised for using Ipe in cutting boards because it is supposedly toxic, so right there in front of the guy I licked a big piece of Ipe. He said it only served to prove my insanity!

@markkoons7488 3 года назад

Beautiful work, absolutely amazeballs! Question? I've never done inlay before, would you be able to make solid color end grain cutting board, stack it on top of one similar to what you've made, then on a scroll saw, put the angle at just a few degrees, and cut out say like a peace sign and then just drop it in to produce the inlay? Would that be the correct way to do this? I was just thinking the contrast of the plaid with a solid color inlay, I thought a peace sign would be cool, would be absolutely beautiful and really pop together, especially once the finish is put on. But, would what I asked above be the correct way to do this?

Finish preference is a lot like oil brands. That you follow the manufacturer service interval is more important than the brand of oil. I just made a laminate bench top out of junk reclaimed wood, to develop skill before buying hardwood. The time came to finish and boy howdy are there many opinions on it. I have experience with poly so that's what I did. The only thing new was mixing mineral spirits with the poly for first coat. Second coat was full strength. I don't have the problem of stuff sliding about that some would have me believe would happen.

@salemthorup9536 3 года назад

I like that finishes are controversial. I don't know much of anything about them, but I am curious. I'm excited to watch your videos on it and see what others say. Ultimately, I probably agree more with you. I think I'd probably rather use a well made wood product that's properly cured than use so much plastic. With that said, plastic is pretty much all I use right now. We don't have the greatest health and maybe the products we live with and use have more to do with poor health than we realize, but I'd like to think we have the ability to figure it out eventually.

@shedmanx3640 3 года назад

Love your work mate. Amazing result. I know the work involved in making these as I’ve made a few cutting boards myself over the years, (not as complex as yours) and the thing that makes me laugh is everyone wants one until you quote them.

You don’t get end or edge grain from the store.
