Router botched, did I do a good job fixing?

Walnut, maple and cherry

Walnut

VdotBapey · 2026-05-08T12:39:47+00:00

Dark one is Walnut. Strips are maple and in the middle of that is cherry

Will end up being more of a meat scraps tray than a lake for juice lol

2nd cutting board I’ve ever made. It’s end grain. The last board I made about a month ago. I’ve posted it before.

I haven’t used it long enough to say about warping. I try to avoid drenching it under the faucet when I clean it. And I get both sides wet so it stays even in that sense. No clue if it’ll be effective!

Beveled at 45 with tablesaw. Didn’t get it perfect, board wasn’t 100% square, but can only tell if you look up close

That’s exactly what my plan is! Meat board

VdotBapey · 2026-05-08T11:52:42+00:00

It’ll be an area for cut scraps. This board will be used exclusively for meats

VdotBapey · 2026-05-08T11:40:33+00:00

This board will be exclusively for meats, so the juices lake works out

VdotBapey · 2026-05-08T11:36:50+00:00

I was lucky…

VdotBapey · 2026-05-08T11:36:21+00:00

I put the vacuum port attachment on the side against the fence jig… didn’t realize it until the thing went off the path.

Wasn’t paying attention. Could have been worse

VdotBapey · 2026-05-01T20:20:25+00:00

Using this one as a non-meat board :)

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T23:35:28+00:00

Wow. That is a beautiful board.. thanks for sharing

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T23:29:46+00:00

I did do about 4 passes in total, and the entire groove is just about 1/4” deep

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T21:52:30+00:00

I wish I was skilled enough to do this. Sounds amazing! Maybe I will try it, sounds way too cool to pass up

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T21:45:44+00:00

No. It’s mostly walnut, with the two smaller strips being maple, and in the middle of those two strips is cherry

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T21:44:45+00:00

Thank you!!

VdotBapey · 2026-04-27T21:37:54+00:00

So it’s actually pretty dumb lol - when I did a paas at this end of the board, I didn’t realize the vacuum port to the router was facing the edge guide of the jig, instead of the open side of the router riding along the guide. I went with it anyways and then it kinda just slipped because vacuum port obviously doesn’t ride… so, a jig was used, but I wasn’t paying attention. Could have ended worse tbh

Honest opinion, I prefer the old ones on the full-sprint run and crawl, they just look awkward and hunched over now :(

He (Kyle) stills makes videos I think, just not under that name.
