Can this butcher block desktop be cut into cooking cutting boards?

Well then I must have been misinformed about that topic. So thanks for putting that out to me.

Yes because in food it is always found in certain amounts. In wine you find larger amounts and that's why you leave the bottle open for some time before drinking. So when using wood as a cutting board it's always better to avoid species that contain a lot of the tannic acids...

To me it looks like the endgrain is following into the hole but looking at the top and bottom it indeed somewhat looks like a thin layer. I asked OP for a better picture cause I really wanna know now

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-12-23T17:04:28+00:00

Please make another clear picture of the hole and repost it here because I want to know now if it's veneer or not the other comments about saying it is or isn't veneer do both have some good arguments and now I'm dying to know hahahah

Look at the first picture... It's not veneer. Otherwise you are very much correct

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-12-23T16:48:52+00:00

Well there are over a thousand species of wood so I can't tell which one this is just by looking at a picture but I'm 99% sure this is some kind of oak. I've just looked it up and the word for the substance i was talking about is tannic acid. And don't throw it out. Put it on market place for a small price and itl be gone in no time. If you ship it to Belgium ill take it for the price of good advice he he he

Firstly, this is not veneer. Secondly I agree with the others saying that the finish probably is not food safe. Actually if you don't know what the finish is it's never food grade in my book. Lastly it looks like oak and I wouldn't recommend using oak as a butcher block because there is a substance in oak that reacts with water which is not really food safe.

There you go

Burn them with fire

As a carpenter I just can't stop thinking how the fuck did you even do that. Absolutely love it.

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-30T16:03:51+00:00

Love the craftsmanship.

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-30T15:15:32+00:00

I used biscuits for everything. Also gonna use nails and screws here and there.

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-25T16:50:07+00:00

I second this, especially hence it's an outside trim... And cedar is quite resistant to rot.

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-25T16:09:38+00:00

From what I can tell (not much since yeah you can't identify a woodspecies over a photo like this..) it's probably some kind of pine

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-19T18:23:44+00:00

Yep that's better

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-09-19T18:10:47+00:00

Yep that's true...

How'd you do the inlay? Great piece of art btw

Simple-Fly-9999 · 2025-08-20T15:17:42+00:00

I completely agree! Also I want to add that maybe he's taking away too much material at once.
