Such good work.

I sealed with a combination of bee's wax, and food grade mineral oil. This is a functional cutting board, so can be used with food, without the risk of contaminating the food.

The woods I used were Purple Heart, Padauk, Maple, and Ash.

Commercial "cutting board" wax is way to expensive. ymmv

You are correct. I got the recipe from another YouTuber, and mixed something like 24 6oz. Tins for less than $12.00. The commercial stuff will cost you that much or more for a single 4 or 6 ounce bottle.

Thank you so much I hope to be making many more in the future, mostly as gifts and what not.

I had some very good teachers to learn from on YouTube. Lot of good creators in this field.

Beautiful work.

Thank you for the compliment! I definitely use good hearing protection. On another note, since I made that video, I changed over to a air-cooled VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) spindle, which has as much power as that Dewalt router, but at it's highest setting isn't even close to as loud as the Dewalt.

I can actually run the CNC all night in the Garage, and not hear it outside of the garage.

for woodworking. I can't afford such expensive machinery.

Post more hopefully. 👍

A cousin of mine turns bowls, and does various cutting boards probably the end grain kind.


I love to watch wood turning videos. Fascinating to watch. Meditative, too, for me.
