In this video, I show how to make charcuterie boards. Basically, it's a serving board or cutting board with a fancy handle and a fancy name. After making many of these, there are several tips and tricks I've picked up through the years. Use the timestamps to skip around if you're looking for something in particular.

Glad you included the wetting down process alot of others don't include this step, as I learnt the hard way when I first started making boards, I actually like to mix up different species of Australian hardwoods as well as any exotic species I can get my hands on. Keep up the good work cheers

Quick question on cutting boards. I’ve just ventured into this little hobby and while I’ve subscribed to you channel and some other wood working channels, I’ve come across an issue that I haven’t yet seen addressed. Now, this might not be an issue with anyone else and it’s simply me and my not Know-how to do this. I have 3 cutting boards that I am working on finishing up. I’ve sanded them down 60, 150, 240 & 320. I’ve added the cutting board oil multiple times and now I’m adding conditioner. Yet, every single time I wipe it with a clean dry cloth, I get the color of the wood on the cloth. Why is that? Won’t that also get onto food?

@youroutdoors5453 Жыл бұрын

Great video, I am a beginner woodworker and your videos have been very helpful for sure. You said you send some wax with every board sold, where do you get the small samples of the wax, or do you buy small containers and fill them yourself?

@SixEightWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Walrus Oil sells small sample sizes that I use. I have made my own as well.

@SixEightWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Biggest trick with those or any wood that still has the pith is to ensure it’s properly dried to prevent cracking and warping. Pentacryl is a product I’ve seen many use to help the stabilizing process for green wood. If it’s dry and humidity levels have equalized, it’s a great option for boards.

You mentioned using pine for a charcuterie board. What grade and width board should i be looking for? Thanks for the great how to video

@Tiberius817 Жыл бұрын

You didn't ask me, but if you're going with pine for this just use something without knots. Knots tend to come loose and fall out in pine.

@waterlilly62lori 4 ай бұрын

I believe sappwood, cherry and pine are soft woods and would not be good choices for charcuterie boards. They are more of an open grain which allows for moisture and mold. Check me on that.

@f.kieranfinney457 5 ай бұрын

The highly figured woods that look so beautiful generally are unstable. They cup and twist pretty easily. Are these boards typically 3/4” thick? Or are you going to 1” for stability? Ever follow up to see if they’re still flat in 2 years?

Curious not trying to be noisy, but how much did you charge per board produced during this video?

@henryvaughn6295 Жыл бұрын

You mentioned, one of the boards was pine. That using pine is okay as long as it is not cut on and the maintenance is kept up on the board. Could you also do that with Eastern Red Cedar? If using pine, how often should the board have another coat of wood wax? BTW... your videos are very inspiring. Thank you for them...

@SixEightWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, I think any softwoods are still ok, as long as the grain is sealed and maintained. Usually maintenance is once a month or so. But varies by region temperatures and how often the board is used. If it’s losing the sheen from the wax or looking dried out, reapply. Thanks!

Hello everybody Here is France I have a question about language. About this video I think it is a good video and when I got my own workshop, I try to do this. Well, my question : why do you (you, the english people, not you, yourself) use the "charcuterie" and not "cold cuts" like Google translation give to me for the translation ? I am curious about that because I try to grow up my level in English and it is so dificult for me. Thanks a lot for your help and have a good day.
