About a year ago, I made a few serving boards from some sawmill scraps that were in my firewood pile. This year I wanted to make a bunch more for gifts and to switch things up, I decided the focus of this video should be on the batching process vs the prototyping process that we went through last time. This video was inspired by a viewer who asked how long each board would take to make.

Ive been watching you mill logs for a long time and enjoy seeing the grainin the boards. This is the first time I watched you make something useful like the charcuterie boards. Awsome display of how you go about making them in batches. I learned the steps to make my own boards thanks for an excellent teaching class.

Matt, I love it. I’m a creator of artisan charcuterie along with a good friend for our own use. Your boards are beautiful and perfect for the fun side of displaying thinly sliced charcuterie Coppa, Brasola, salamitties, prosciutto etc. Fun stuff salute 👍🏻🇺🇸

I am really happy you did this. I have been watching a lot of sawmill videos recently trying to learn all I can and so many sawyers toss so much wood in the burn pile that can be used for smaller items than a slab table. It could be sold as is to woodworkers even. Maybe not for much but to pay the fuel bill!

These look like a good project to batch out. Seeing your “batching” process helps. This year I batched out turned ice cream scoops for the first time. It was a real learning process because batching things out is a lot different than just making a single item.

my week before christmas gift for everyone is brazilian cumaru coasters. Ive made 60 of them, only 18 are actually finished so far, 3 sets of 6. They are end cuts from some amazing teak hard wood flooring I installed. I preserved the flooring finish on the top and routered out the bottom for feet and rounded off all the sides. Finishing wax and done.

@ecocentrichomestead6783 2 жыл бұрын

There's one thing left in woodworking that I don't understand: How does one make this type of product such that it stays flat in changing humidity? For example: Where I live, last years annual average humidity was 70%. If I air dried the board and sent the gift to Alberta, it would dry more over time and distort. The same happens vise versa, when kiln dried hardwood is imported to the island, it absorbs moisture and deforms. in house humidity is equal to outside humidity during the warm days, but on winter days it drops to 20%. I made a workbench out of flat sawn lumber in my workshop. When I started have a fire in to warm the place up, that bench would not stay flat no matter how hard I tried. So I collected quarter sawn pieces and made a butcher block bench.

For sanding use a large scrap of thick memory foam. It will hold the piece still and maintain a parallel with the sander during different pressures.

@ericwilliams7374 4 жыл бұрын

I was told by an old timer, as a rule of thumb for drying out wood to work with, you should allow around 6 month for every 5 to 6 inches. So, if you have a log that is 12 inches in diameter, you should wait 12 months before using for any projects. That's why it's a good idea to build up a supply of wood so you can have some ready to use.

I do not have a sawmill in my backyard, the idea of getting my fingers anywhere near one of those things terries me! I'm going to subscribe to your channel, because it is so blatantly obvious you love what you are doing. that's enough for me and then had your honest sense of of "funny"..
