I need to sell about four of these a month @ $150-$200... there will be a store here, again, selling these things and other items i make in the shop- i can carve school/team stuff as I did here... this will cover the costs here, i hope, as it seems nothing else is paying the bills!

at any rate, I thought I would 'shop' them here (and know that if any of y'all do things like this you're welcome to 'shop' them here too)... I've got seven to do and I'm taking orders... generally, I like to get an 'idea' what folks would like instead of doing things precision ordered... i've yet to have a disappointed customer.
by the way- the top two boards are what i call "presentation boards" as they have the juice sluice offset to the side (still sizable area, though) and the carving visible... the sluice ought to protect bread or even a stack of smaller plates (and of course show off your team or whatever you have going on there)...
some of the others have juice sluices, some don't... some are pretty sizable while others aren't.. but ALL of them are solid wood- and not something that will diminish over time... they're at least 1.5" thick which allows for re-finish... insets are at least 1/4" thick if not more (usually they're 1/2" thick if they're on the cutting surface). the resin is tough stuff that takes a few days to fully cure, and used over hand painted lettering/design. Insets are glued in with both purpose made wood glue as well as epoxy.... the epoxied surface is flush with the board.
these things should never be submerged in water for more than a few minutes... a wipe is generally all they need- uses solvents/cleaners if you must... every six months or so they appreciate a wipe (and allow for absorbing) of board oil... the food safe kind... IF you scar it up, well, that's the reason I make them so thick... a few passes with increasing grit count sandpaper, then a oiling- and you're back to new.
thoughts?

Those look awesome

What are the dimensions?

What are the dimensions?
Whatever you want... my planer is 12 1/2" and the CNC bed is 34" x 28" those are my two limiting factors, bit I can always adjoin and make larger pieces too...
The top two pics/boards are just over two feet long and 12.5" wide, 1 1/2" thick. The ECU pirate board is 17" long iirc, and 1.5" thick... i think D&B board near the same...

Hey @Drew4UTk (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) just wanted to say howdy here on this thread since I don't see you much elsewhere these days. Hope all is well with you and yours!

nice work obviously
wish i wanted or needed an cutting board

man it feels like i'm always on here at times... i spend most my time on a board south of this one and in attempt to keep those guys engaged... not that they need help, but running in and tossing gasoline on a topic and running out keeps the place hopping... they account for about 70% of the 'new' traffic that arrives here, while this board brings in 29%... this board has @ELA (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=55) and @847badgerfan (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=5) to keep it ticking... the rest of the site? is... slow... I'd love to see the XII come back to life but man, they took a blow with the loss of @CharleyHorse46 (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=21) ...
I hope things with you and yours are well too, Sir.

I try and poke the bear from time to time. Seems to work.
I'd like two cutting boards for my kids if possible. I can mail a check. They are both OSU grads. THE OSU, that University of Ohio State thing.

"presentation cutting board" @Cincydawg (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=870) ? they're the long ones- around two feet long and a foot or so tall, with the 'juice sluice' to the side... or... one like the "ECU Pirate" board above? It's something like 17"x12"... both will be around 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" thick... Initials/monogram?
you can type it up here or send me a message.... I've already got a notion on design that seems like it will be a fantastic board (in my head, anyway) :)
-
Yeah, 17" long is probably better for them. I'm thinking some kind of OSU emblem, I forget their mascot, some kind of tree I think, or useless nut.
Maybe initials on it?
I'm open to suggestions, would be a Christmas present. One has a law degree from Capitol U but I probably would skip that. OSU with a Bulldawg would confuse everyone.
They are hard to buy for, and they both told me to stop sending them money, which I infer means I did a good job as parent at least on the financial side.
-
Send me your home address and I'll put a check "in the mail", heh.
I trust your design, their initials would be LPD and TK.
-
Drew, what would a rough cost be for something in the 18x24" or 18x30" size? Probably a design somewhat similar to the B&D design.
Something most likely either with 6 inset letters for their last name, or a big "R" inset with CNC milled or resin-filled remaining letters...
-

Same-same,but might buy one for the hell of it.Not going to go bad

I'd like one. Black walnut?

I'd still make it work for less than or equal to $200 for a 30" board. Honestly, the biggest issue I'd face with it would be finding suitable woods to work with.... now, i can easily do the 'quilt' thing and piece it together- and have... such is the only way to do a chopping block... and inset or inlay, it doesn't matter to me whichever or both- the thing about inlay's is it has to be fairly sizable so it doesn't break easily, and the font sets are limited due to overlapping/intersecting lines.. Notice on the B&D board the inset letters- they're maple... the rest of the letters are maple dusted resin- which in person adds a cool holographic effect but is hard to see in the pictures.... for smaller letters like those, I greatly prefer resin-set...

and here is another example of a combo inset-resin.... (this was a b-day gift for a guys mom... he literally calls her either mommy or "precious perfect mommy lane" which is fine, i guess, but the context of it is..... creepy as hell.)

I'd like one. Black walnut?
yessir... I have a fair amount of Black Walnut, all heart wood (dark chocolate colored)...
I use it a LOT in these boards... and I find it blends really well with African Sapele (one of six or so faux 'mahogany' woods) which I also have an fair amount of.... all ribbon cut.
there is this: Both Black Walnut and Sapele are considered "toxic"- they are known (especially Sapele) to blister or cause rash on skin, you really don't want to inhale the dust, and you really don't want to eat it, apparently... it's not poisonous, but it will....... open you up, let's say politely.
These boards are highly finished- smooth as silk.... they've been sanded from 35 grit to 1200 grit, and then 2400# steel wool'd... then, they're oiled and allowed to absorb the oil until it rejects it (which is wiped off). then, I'll use a microfiber towel with some considerable pressure and a block to both 'check' for snags and to further finish them.... then... they're waxed and polished with a food safe wax and an orbital buffer- to basically fill any small (like, really tiny) gaps. there is a dull sheen to them before and after the wax, and there is a very small opportunity there would be any particulates (from wood) being transferred to food... and i say this for cutting on them as well... the opportunity for you to ingest any of the board is silly small, so if you hear someone talking about that just smile and tell them 'got it'.
Black walnut is just over 1k on the janka scale of hardness... and it has tight pores disallowing absorbing things that a wood like Oak would gobble right down.... African Sapele is 1500 on the same scale- tougher than curly rock (hard) maple but just shy of Hickory/Pecan (which are in all accounts the same, and come in at just over 1800). I try to stay under anything over the hardness of Hickory/Pecan as it is HELL on tools... I've worked with purple heart (authentic- @Cincydawg (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=870) has seen it) that ruined a blade on a bandsaw on one pass.. it's something just shy of 2500 on the janka scale.

So... Let's say that this is someone who will cut on the nice face of it. It'll be for my in-laws, who are older, and for a board of that size I'm not sure they'll be regularly flipping it over to cut on the back side instead of the front.
So the first thing is that my wife said we shouldn't go larger than 18x24.
But the second portion would be that if someone is cutting on the decorated face, is there a preference between using inlays, resin, etc? Is one more likely to hold up better under actual use?
-
The resin has a quality like the old lead glass... remember that stuff? It "falls"... i rented a business space in the downtown area of a small town that was nearing 100 years old... the glass in the windows "breathed"... the (original) glass had fallen to the base of the frame and was every bit of 3/8" thicker there than the top, and allowed air through the emerged opening at the top... the owner used some sort of gasket material he had to replace fairly often... to replace ithe glass or entire window was expensive and had to meet standards of the historical society people..
resin never truly solidifies... its like that glass... a knife across its face will heal over time as it "re pools". Its handy for these type applications, so long as it is face up amd doesn't cover a large expanse..
We're back to size, though... for areas that have an expanse of resin, I worry it will flow out of the corners and pop out at some point... wood contracts and expands and isnt near as stable as the resin (even though it is moving too)... so... i like using resin on areas where it won't expanse more than an inch or so. I like using insets for the larger area... that said, I've resined as much as a 10" circle 1"2" deep with no issues (except for coaxing the resin to dry clear and bubble free).
As far as inlays go, I generally use a carefully selected piece of wood for its grain... so it is already tougher than most examples even from the same larger piece. I like to cut them 1/2" thick so there is a LOT of "refinish" room for boards that see extreme use. The inlays are just like the rest of the board... theyll scar, but they wont look any worse for the wear even over years... and if they do? A few passes of increasing grit sandpaper and theyre good again.
I made a Texas longhorn clock for a buddy's smoke-pit/bar... the inlayed longhorn is maybe 1/4" thick at most (its pictured in the first post).. its likely more like .15 or so. Its fine and will be for that purpose... the board I made him, though, has a longhorn too- it looks a lot like the clock but the inlay on it is a full 1/2" thiick... and not only because it's a cutting board, but because that guy smokes a lot of ribs and brisket, and he straight up carves on the board. I gave him the board to do my research for me. I'll see if I cant find a picture of it...
Sapele, predominately, makes a dang hard thing to carve up.

here are a couple bread boards i literally just finished.... they're duplicate to each other and have no carving (yet)...

Black Walnut, Rock Maple separating, and Sapele.
While making these and taking a break to snatch up some more coffee, I decided something... I decided these would be really nice as Keureg stands- meaning the surface (the board) for sitting the machine on, and a little drawer below with k-cups... of course the board could be carved for person's/family name or company name.... or team... y'all think that is something worth prototyping?

very good looking bread boards
keureg or regular drip coffee makers
of course mine just sits on the counter

I just pulled these off for a customer who was gracious enough to allow me to share pics... it's a big ol' board and has two matching bread boards. The reverse side also has a juice sluice matching the resin/inlay side.

a little handle on either side inset into the sepele... I think it's around five or so inches long and 3/4 inch wide, and 3/4" deep... allowing positive grip for paws big or small.

eh, just another view.... I was aiming for the wine glasses to appear almost as it they were clinking while sitting on a surface (the maple stripe representing a table?) and by someone or two someone's with invisible appendages...(?!)

the machine (CNC) makes a 'rough pass' which is what you see just after this pic... this is after the 'finishing' pass, and uses a 1/32 ball point bit. oh yeah... i added a little paint...

this offers some idea of thickness... the massive board comes in at just a bit over 1.75"... the bread boards just a hair under 1".

they're soaking up as much board/block oil as they will hold before getting a final pass with 2500grit sandpaper.... and a wipe down- pack em' up and send them on their way.... I'm hoping the new owner likes them!

Beautiful work, Drew!

OH SNAP!!!!
I just picked up a 95w laser engraver, with 28" width and pass through for as long as i want a product to be to go through it, though i'll mostly be focusing on smaller more intricate stuff....
this adds a whole new dimension to what i can make!
@OrangeAfroMan (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=58) , how would you like to add some "football fields" to your game? with the CNC Router, it would take upwards of a few hours to produce one... with the laser? minutes, and more detailed...

I got two of these for my kids with Ohio State insignia, they are gorgeous.

My order for my in-laws was received yesterday, and I do believe that I am now the favorite of any of their kids' spouses... I might have even jumped a rung above their own children ;-)
Drew does amazing work!

I'd love that and share it in the game group.

I need a swanky logo......

if you guys are interested in pretty nifty gifts for family or friends for Christmas, now is the time to set up an order!
I turned these out over the last week or so... so, not just cutting boards... though the cutting boards are pretty nice especially since i've linked up with a custom knife maker and will be putting packages together... Damascus Steel knives, hand made, and matching cutting boards... and... the laser can either mark the blades with name or logo or the handle, or both.
at any rate:

i've made several end grain chopping blocks lately.... this one is one i can share. i'm making two more tomorrow- a first for me when i'm making one that doesn't have a customer yet!
the image is sapele and cherry... the cnc was used to inset feet and make an inset 'pocket' on the back of it where i inlayed a panel of russian birch- lasered an image and message on the inlay, and lasered a monogram on the surface.
the next two will be bigger... this one is 14.5"x12.5"x2"..... the feet extend to make the overall height just 3 1/8"...
today, i went a-shoppin'... i picked up an unbelievable plank of black walnut- supreme grade... 8/4 thick, 14.5" across face (width) and 12 feet 4 inches long... along with it i picked up some 8/4 sapele, and 8/4 cherry... more baltic and russian birch, and some rock maple. I'm set pretty good material wise for maybe two dozen boards (and a table surface i'm making for a dude).... Christmas is closer than you think!!!

best chop block I've ever seen

Looking into a wall unit to hang wine glasses and also act as a shelf. It's our "black" accent wall in our kitchen, which is greys, whites, black, a little tan. How do I post a pic here?
Anyway, I know @Drew4UTk (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) is a wood worker, so I figured I'd ask.
