How to Make an End Grain and Edge Grain Cutting Boards.
In this 13-minute video, Jay Mowder walks you through the process of making both an end grain and an edge grain cutting board using two of our 15-piece Wood Cutting Board Strip Kits. For the edge grain board, he uses our Large Two-Piece Cutting Board Template to create a unique shape, add handles, and a juice groove. Jay also demonstrates the two-step glue-up process for making an end grain cutting board and shows how to flatten it using our Rout-N-Plane Bench Top Board Mill. To complete both boards, he explores various router bits that can be used with our StabilMaxRT Router Table, adding the perfect finishing touches to make his cutting board truly one of a kind. The final step to any cutting board project is to add finish, and for that Jay uses a homemade mixture of mineral oil and beeswax. If you’d like to make some for yourself, follow the recipe card below! Jay’s Cutting Board Wax Finish Ingredients: 1/2 gallon of mineral oil (4 - 16oz bottles) 1lb bag of yellow beeswax pellets Make It: First cover your work surface with old plywood to protect your work surface. Pour the mineral oil into the crock pot then add the beeswax. Turn the crock pot to the highest setting. Stir periodically. The wax should fully melt in about 30 minutes. Transfer the melted wax mixture into container(s). Shallow containers or tins with a lid work best. Use caution this is very hot. It is useful to use a turkey baster or a measuring cup to transfer the mixture to avoid spilling. Let it cool and solidify. Use It: Apply a liberal amount of the Cutting Board Wax Finish to all surfaces of the board. Allow it to sit 20-30 minutes. Use a clean cotton cloth to buff. Apply 1-2 coats and your board is ready to use. To revitalize used cutting boards, add a thin coat of the wax then buff after a few hours. Store It: Store containers covered in a cool dry location. Note: Do not wash your cutting board in the dishwasher. Hand wash only with soap & water.
