Haha, that’s awesome! Is she afraid to cut on it? That seems to be the most common reaction to these boards.

On cleaning this board, scraping is the old method and still stands true. I don’t know of the use of salt but it makes sense since salt acts as a preservative for foods and would help stop any spoilage. The other factor is that wood should help keep itself clean as the tanic acids help sterilize the board and this is something that plastic cutting boards will –NOT– do. Plastic cutting boards will need more cleaning than wood and will require the bleach mentioned but the wood shouldn’t.

Its called the Cutting Board Package. To get there, click “View All” under Exotic Lumber in the sidebar. You’ll see the cutting board on that page.

Hey! Im interested in doing this project for woodshop next year. You said that Bell Forest Products sells a kit for this, could you tell me the name of that kit.

lol at school when i made a chopping board we had to put 2 holes in the pieces of wood and get dowes to match it, then we had to glue it together. But this way seems so much easier.

I think I’ll try Bell forest. I live in central Illinois, so there aren’t very many high quality hardwood dealers near me, and I only have so many Maple trees in my yard! It’ll be nice to use some Michigan wood again too. Thanks for the help!

Thanks man. The maple I get is usually cut to 8/4 and about 8 ft. long. Its pretty typical 8/4 stock though, nothing fancy. We have a few hardwood dealers here in Phoenix. One thing you might look into if you are looking to order on the web is a company called Bell Forest Products. They sell “kits” specifically for this project.

Awesome video! One question, How do you buy your Maple? Do you buy it from a lumber yard? How big do they cut it for you?

hi neznyw
the hot water is for killing bacteria )
and the salt is for leftover blood because salt is a great solvent for blood, also if its on clothing ;o)
and yes you can´t see the leftover blood but it´s there!!

I would just clean it with soapy water, and wipe away the standing water. For occasional heavy disinfection, I would use a very mild bleach solution.

How are you going to clean such a surface, I know my old butcher used to soak in scalding water, scrape his end -grain block and sprinkle salt over it to extrakt the moisture

I would love to see more video’s that are mind teasers like puzzles made out of wood. I made this block of wood 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 block and used a Forcner bit to make a small block in the middle. I sold them blocks for 10 bucks a pop.. any more ideas on small projects like that ?

By: TheWoodWhisperer

Sure. You may want to simplify the pattern a bit but there is no reason why it wouldn’t work on a larger surface.

Do you think this method would be a good idea to make a small counter top for a kitchen island, say 2′x3′ ??

Great video! Love your projects. Where did you get that ink roller? I’ve looked all over and can’t seem to find one, but I like the idea of using it for spreading the glue.
