    Please share the website for the heart inlays and templates that you used in your video. I could not find that information at the end of the video. Thank you

    Just a suggestion for your irregular end cuts (cutoffs)... glue the pieces to a backer board like you are building a cutting board (rough side up) and build a picture type frame around it. It is 3 dimensional wall art, also in high end audio, folks will pay good money for these as they work as reflexion traps, absorbing unwanted echos (acoustic wave reflexions). A book case full of uneven depth books will also trap reflexions. Traps sometimes run from ceiling to floor.

    I have always wanted to try to make a Cutting board, and will definitely have to now.

    I've seen many videos, plans techniques on making cutting boards...all good and excite creative juices... But after months of good use cutting boards get ragged, with many knife cuts in them... Many people think this adds to the mystique of a cutting board. I have never seen a video or topic on REINISHING AN OLD OR USED C UTTING BOARD to make it look new again. WHAT is the best techniques to do that?.

    Making a laminated cutting board has, sofar, greatly intimidated me.

    Great lot of info here, George. My Men's Shed will make use of this -- we make a few cutting boards for our market stall.

    I utilized this guide and the tutorials (multiple times during project!) to make my first 3 cutting boards… I overstepped my capabilities on the first one for my son as it was 20”x30” but turned out decent… Really appreciate your guidance and efforts!!!

    The epoxy on my latest cutting board project is high. Can I run it through my Dewalt 735 planner with using up all the blades or should I try a router leveling bit for the first time?

    No ideas at this moment.
