But the design will change and you'll need more strips to make up the board. But lots of folks use 4/4 stock to make some very cool boards. I would recommend playing with some samples and see if you can't come up with slick design that used the stock you have on hand.

Am using different types of wood now olive and almond, dont have maple at my country but we got also lots of oak. Anyway thanks a lot all the way from Amman - Jordan :-)

Feb 6, 2012 - Mark, I have received negative feedback on my Purpleheart and Red oak end grain cutting boards. People are saying the Red Oak is too soft for cutting boards, What is your opinion. Thanks

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

Feb 6, 2012 - Well everyone is certainly entitled to an opinion. But here are the facts. Janka hardness scale puts Red Oak at 1290. Hard maple, the traditional choice for cutting boards, is 1450. I have seen nice boards made from Cherry (995) and Walnut (1010). And my workbench is made from soft maple (950). Everything is relative, but I personally do not consider red oak to be too soft.

Feb 10, 2012 - Hi, Mark. I like the idea of using an ink roller for spreading glue evenly. Where can you pick up a roller like that? Thanks so much!

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

Feb 10, 2012 - I get them on Amazon.com. Look up "ink brayer" and you should find what you're looking for.

Feb 25, 2012 - i watched this before i did a cutting board in wood tech at school and my teacher almost had a orgasim when he saw mine

Feb 28, 2012 - Great video, thanks! Isn't Purple Heart a sensitizing toxic wood? Does the finish fix that issue somehow? I want to use it in everything but I worry about the toxicity in food prep.

Feb 28, 2012 - DUDE!!! My hat goes off to you! You have just showed me how to do a chess/checkers board :)) Seriously, THANK YOU!!! :)))

Apr 2, 2012 - home much does purpleheart bleed when finishing

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

Apr 2, 2012 - it usually doesn't.

sirgreggins8824 mowi:

Apr 2, 2012 - awesome. I'm going to build a coffee table with a checkerboard like this. Inlay'd into the top. Not sure if i'm going to do purpleheart and maple or cherry and walnut

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

Apr 2, 2012 - Just keep in mind that purpleheart is.....well....purple. It is good in small doses but can be a little overbearing if used too much.

Apr 25, 2012 - blame YouTube, lol. This was uploaded 5 years ago before they increased file size limits.

May 5, 2012 - After ripping the boards the first time, how do you make a tight fitting joint without running the boards through a jointer?? What's the secret there??

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

May 5, 2012 - The boards were jointed and planed to the dimension needed. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.

madupree1 mowi:

May 5, 2012 - Yes that's what I was asking, you never gave any info that you jointed the boards before gluing

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

May 5, 2012 - Well I did make an assumption there by saying you'll need your boards milled to a certain dimension. My technique usually involves jointing, ripping close to final width, then using the planer to get to final dimension.

madupree1 mowi:

May 5, 2012 - So to get the boards to 2.25, 1.75, 1.25 & .75 you cut the boards a little thicker and then plane them down to those specs?? If I'm understanding correctly??

TheWoodWhisperer mowi:

May 5, 2012 - Yes. Especially for thicker boards like this, I find that the easiest way to get joint-quality piece to consistent size.
