How To Craft a WOVEN Cutting Board - A Step by Step Guide for Woodworking Beginners!

today we craft a ridiculously cool looking cutting board from eight different types of wood it's not as hard as it seems let's get to work the idea for the cutting board has been inspired by fisher's shop definitely make sure to check out his amazing video on the topic link down there in the description we first start by milling our major lumber part i'll choose some american walnut how creative right it's not like everyone always uses walnut never mind the process is always the same first joint one face on the jointer then plane the opposite square with the planer after that we rip one side straight on the table saw and then use the fence to get the other one parallel [Music] once that's done i rip my board to size and then we can start pulling some scrap wood out my first major component will be olive wood which i fastened to the top of my walnut board using some double-sided tape and some painters tape better safe than sorry right then i proceed to cut a wave pattern on my bandsaw [Music] [Music] now here comes the interesting part with this initial setup we get two different wood types fitting together perfectly through the wave to make the pattern even more interesting i'm going to laminate a thin strip of bubinga rose wood in between those and then comes the glue up nothing special to say here all i do is use some c8 loop for better adhesion and make sure that the wave aligns perfectly during the lamination process [Music] next they rolled around and now we rinse and repeat our process again this time overlaying our fresh heat loot up wooden bodies [Music] once i position it the way i liked i cut a random way through both layers again and after the dry fit i did some more lamination with bubinga sandwich in between one wave and a thin strip of padauk in between the other pair next day let's start it off by milling the glue squeeze out the way and then i started including a new pattern into the mix i took a scrap piece of black bamboo and cut a strip off on my bandsaw then i proceeded to also cut strips of checkered tree and mahogany off or some more scraps and then i glued everything together and since i know that all of my viewers have a 420 iq i suppose that you know the tool by now let's make some sorters shall we [Music] [Music] [Music] with all of that done it was time to glue our two separate woven parts together that was mostly table saw work but i made sure to match colors such that the seam between the different wood types was not too noticeable hence i decided to match the walnut sapwood with the lightly colored checker tree resulting in a very soft color gradient [Music] we are on the home stretch finally there was quite some work for cutting board first we will bow faces then i present them using my trump sander because i'm a lazy piece of rip the board to its final dimensions [Music] jam for all edges on my router table intimately sending from an 80 grit to a 320 and last but not least we butter that up [Music] well that turned out amazing and if you like what you have seen today why not make sure to sub to the channel for more spicy woodworking content i post regularly on here so definitely make sure to subscribe to the channel to stay updated and also to support the channel titan a little bit and other than that don't forget to check out my shop stemming studio for handcrafted products and i think that's about it i think guys watching and up until next video i wish you guys a flammable day see ya and please stay safe ciao [Music] [Music] you
