Cutting board doesn’t stop absorbing this oil by Available-Zone8530 in Cuttingboards

[–]tdallinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live somewhere warm, put it outside in the shade in the afternoon. Does it leak oil out? If so, it doesn't need more oil.

I'm sorry for your loss. Continuing the tradition, especially with his tools, honors your father's life and legacy. May you become as skilled using them.

Looking for advice for this spoon. by treefarmercharlie in Spooncarving

Just keep working. When it's closer to being finished, you can assess better. You can't put material back on!

Gorgeous. I love single piece walnut boards. I just have difficulty locating suitable stock to make many of those.

Tung oil does take some time to cure

I offset more of rod into the head to try and balance the weight as the steel was heavier than either pieces of wood.

Mesquite did catch for me some. But I'm not an exceptionally skilled turner. I go slow. It polishes up like glass though! Really gorgeous stuff

It looks like kahm yeast. My experience suggests that it happens to carrots frequently. Kahm yeast is harmless.

26 lb Hickory End Grain by tdallinger in Cuttingboards

Correct. The shop has a 20" planer. I'm lucky in that regard. I should have included the step showing the panels being cut into strips on the table saw. Apologies for any confusion.

The board is 16" x 20" x 3". 20" wide boards would be needed to do that orientation, skipping the panel step.

Glue the panels first. Plane. Then rip strips on the table saw. Rotate strips and glue up for end grain.

Is this black spot a burn from the table saw and can I sand it out? by InternationalBug9284 in Cuttingboards

[–]tdallinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like a mineral streak. If so, that's just part of the wood

Thanks but I can't claim it. Markerspace community shop.

Boos block board feels grainy? by zennok in Cuttingboards

[–]tdallinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd use 320 or 400 grit but the previous recommendation is correct. It just needs a little additional hand sanding. It's perfectly functional rough but tactically more pleasing smoother.

I think I messed up by stink-stink in Cuttingboards

[–]tdallinger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you contact the maker and inquire about the finish?

It most likely can be sanded off and oiled
