My first end grain cutting board! This was an interesting project that came out surprisingly well. I was inspired to make this from one of my favorite online woodworkers Steve Ramsey. Good 'ol mere mortal himself! Anyways, it's simple cherry, walnut, and maple. I also took cues from Mark's...

Here is another couple of my chopping boards. This time it has a brick wall pattern and is made of white oak and I think Mahogany… Still not sure what wood is it? Some time ago I've bought lots of reclaimed flooring boards but the woman I bought it from wasn't sure what kind of wood was it. If...

These are a couple of cutting boards I made for Christmas gifts. They are always fun to make. I always say they come with a lifetime warranty. I have refurbished some of the face grain boards for my mom already. Ha. Finish is a mineral oil with a wax coating. I find people don't want to...

I made these cutting boards for Christmas gifts this year. They represent a couple of design variations. The board with the knife and apple is the largest board I've ever made measuring 16 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 1 1/2". I make all of my boards 1 1/2" thick now. I feel that it gives the boards a more...

I made this Wood Whisperer inspired, end grain cutting board for my wife's birthday. This marks my first indoor (non-shop) project, my first "real wood" project, and my first non-paint finish. I chose maple, purpleheart, and walnut for the woods. I bought the wood pre-surfaced because I don't...

I can see how cranking out these End Grain Cutting Boards could become addictive. The one I did a few weeks ago was my first cutting board of any kind in about 40 years. Now here I am again… Maple, Walnut, Yellow Heart, Purple heart. I am amazed at how hard and resilient these things are!

Wouldn't be right to make presents without a couple of end grain chopping boards thrown into the mix.

My parents refuse to give me Christmas suggestions for them, so I had to come up with something myself. At one point this year my mother asked me to make her some wooden coasters, but I never got around to it (I cut off part of my left thumb at work not even a month later…). I purchased a...

This is my $8 end table. I picked up the end-grain fir flooring from a local used building materials store for $6, and glued it to two pieces of plywood ($1 each) from the same store. The legs and trim are cut from some free old 2×4's from a neighbor's remodel. I think the nail holes add a...

It had been a while since I made anything, and the house my girlfriend shares has a nice detached garage and shop with "full kit"! I asked the owner and the handyman if I could share some space now and again. For the second time in three years, for the family Christmas gift exchange, I drew...

Some Christmas gifts I did. 2 end grain cutting boards (walnut & maple) (walnut, maple, and cherry) and 1 weave (walnut, maple, and cherry). The weave board is actually my second try using the left over pieces from the first try hence its smaller size. The first on cupped pretty bad during...

End grain mesquite butcher block cutting board. 22 by 16 by 1.5 inch. approx 20lb. Over the years I've made too many cutting boards, as a method of using up bits of wood and having a ready supply for gifts. After a while the friend market gifting became saturated with boards and actually had...

Saying that I LOVE this table would be a HUGE understatement! It makes me smile every time I glance at it while sittin' in my favorite comfy chair… it is my woodporn! The design came about simply cuz I needed a side table to butt up against a living room wall so that my big chair could be angled...
