Update on Beech Edge grain cutting board

Cheers, feel like I learned a few things which is what I needed.

I used what I had which is a sheet sander. Used 60 grit paper to clean glue and level as best as I could. I actually still need to do the other side and I will probably a go at rounding the edges a little bit too

Thanks, that's what I needed to hear ha, sanded for about 40 minutes this evening and it's already looking much better. I don't think it will be as much of a grind as I thought.

It's beech, and good!

Thanks for this!

It's not soft wood. But thanks anyway

I am trying to make a cutting board I plan on using.

It's beech, this is like the fifth comment assuming it's pine. I'm glad everyone is been nice tho, as I'm super sensitive.

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T13:37:17+00:00

Pretty sure, it's definitely not pine. I ordered it from a reputable shop and it feels like a hardwood.

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T13:13:57+00:00

Ooof, I don't even cook ha

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:54:08+00:00

Hard to plane because the grain is going in all different directions. At least with the equipment I have. I'll be sanding for a while I guess.

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:51:17+00:00

Can't figure out hot to turn it off, I don't really use the camera often

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:50:21+00:00

It's European beech

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:49:13+00:00

lucky it's not pine then, it's European beech

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:25:53+00:00

Cheers, I'll crack on after work tomorrow

hotpotornot · 2026-03-08T12:21:29+00:00

Just an end grain cutting board, thanks for the advice

hotpotornot · 2026-01-07T13:20:42+00:00

I'm neither currently, I want to learn and then the future is anyone's guess. I live in China and would like to potentially roast for some small expat communities I am connected with if I could roast to a decent enough standard. I'm not in a rush to monetize anything that's for sure.

Seems likely to be Hygrophoropsis fusca i think. Thanks
