My first end-grain cutting board! Had enough scraps built up that I finally tried my hand at this. Made from the following woods: Red Oak So Far this is the only board that went absolutely smooth – easy layout, easy cutting and easy glue-ups! :-) -- Robert Rhoades WoodWorks / Email: [email protected] / www.rhoadesclan.com | |||||||

These are terrific!!!! I have heard that you can’t run end grain through a planer, what do you use? Drumsander maybe?

I feel the need to climb on my soapbox for a second…......here goes…................
It is correct that you CAN NOT run end grain through a planer – no matter how “careful” one tries to be! THIS IS DANGEROUS and can KILL you! I have seen with my own eyes planer blades shot INCHES into stud walls when the entire planer blew up. NOT something to mess with. PLEASE do not do this! I was tempted until I saw the damage. The guy it happened to is a professional woodworker and did this a couple of dozen times and then one too many – luckily he was missed by the debris!
OK, I’m getting down off of my soapbox now…......
Yes, the answer is to use a drumsander if you have one or access to one. I, however, do not – it is on my future project list to build one.
I used a LOT of elbow grease and a belt sander to get the board within the bubble and then a recip sander to get it really nice and smooth.
