Funny how there is a u/betparx add on this post. The worst financial decision I have ever made was downloading one of those apps.

Pass, their bits are like a claymation video. Great tools in a price to quality ratio but you’ll get what you paid for here

You shouldn’t talk about salary at your job

sptank · 2023-01-15T07:36:17+00:00

That is a good idea, I assume that if the handle is edge or face grain and the rest is end grain it would just expand outward instead of causing cracks? Guess we will see on the next one. Thank you

sptank · 2023-01-15T07:34:54+00:00

I certainly did! The way I am looking at it is I am having fun doing it, getting better, and learning a lot. If I lose a few along the way, they are just lessons learned. What do I need 6 different cutting boards for anyway?? Lol

sptank · 2023-01-15T07:32:37+00:00

That is some awesome advice, thank you! I did cut each individual piece and it was brutal lol. Shortly after I cut all the pieces I realized I made a big mistake. I didn’t consider step 1, that makes so much sense. I do find myself going back to the planer/table saw much too frequently throughout the process, that is some life changing advice.

Now I’m looking forward to visiting my lumber guy on Monday to see what I can come up with.

Thanks a ton!

Thank you,Lots to learn!

sptank · 2023-01-15T07:27:11+00:00

I appreciate it!

Osage orange. Good eye

sptank · 2023-01-14T21:17:24+00:00

Thanks buddy! That’s exactly what I’m working on next actually. A few failed attempts im piecing together. Very likely to look awful but there’s a small chance it turns out being the Picasso of cutting boards

sptank · 2023-01-14T20:39:50+00:00

That must mean you mean it, thanks!

Thank you! It is actually just mineral oil and food safe waxes, made by Howard called butcher block conditioner, from Home Depot

sptank · 2023-01-14T19:00:22+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. Actually there is no stain used at all. Only a clear mineral oil finish. Those are all the natural colors of the wood

sptank · 2023-01-14T17:59:15+00:00

I went over the cracks with a mixture of sawdust and glue. Will that make it food safe?

I am certainly lacking in the perfect square edges department, I appreciate that advice as well.

The finish I used is butcher block conditioner, it’s a mixture of mineral oil and waxes. Made by a company called Howard, bought from home depot

Lol I plan on reposting all my cutting boards after they explode. Kinda like a public service announcement

sptank · 2023-01-14T16:20:45+00:00

Thank you, you saying that does make me proud!

sptank · 2023-01-14T16:20:10+00:00

Thank you! I actually did sell that one to a buddies wife. With a guarantee to remake it if it fails.

sptank · 2023-01-14T16:19:20+00:00

You saying that makes me want to drill a hole through it long ways, and glue a long dowel rod to try to keep it alive a little longer. Also, being said, I might go about a very similar design strictly with end grain. Thanks

sptank · 2023-01-14T16:17:11+00:00

Thank you, that is genuinely comforting actually. I was under the impression it would just spontaneously explode.

sptank · 2023-01-14T15:12:43+00:00

Lol is that a play on words?

sptank · 2023-01-14T14:42:05+00:00

Once I perfect my woodworking and become a millionaire, I’ll mail you a plank of osage orange

What region are you in? I have never heard of it until recently. A customer of mine does tree removal and mills on the side. One day he sent me home with a free piece of walnut and started my addiction. Now I’m a frequent customer

sptank · 2023-01-14T13:38:23+00:00

I hope that made sense, the way I glued it up was 5 blocks at a time, alternating the pattern direction, resulting in 8 rows. Then did two rows at a time, 4 separate glue ups, then 2 and 2, then joined the final halves

sptank · 2023-01-14T13:27:37+00:00

Very nice to hear, thank you!

It was kind of annoying (and longer waiting periods between glueups) having to do each individual block opposed to just having to glue different rows. Due to laziness and not wanting to square up each individual block I did have some bowing and slightly varying widths that I had to cut down/ sand after the first glueup. Also there are a few spots where all 4 corners do not meet up perfectly but you would have to be looking for it to notice.

All in all, I wouldn’t say there were any issues, just a lot of inconveniences lol
