How to Make a Black Walnut Edge Grain Cutting Board
Building a face-grain cutting board has to be one of my favorite woodworking projects. This is truly a back to basics project and one of the most useful items to have in your kitchen. Building a custom cutting board not only makes you fill good but makes a great gift that will last a life time. I hope you enjoy building this board as much as I did.
In this project you will build a face-grain Black Walnut cutting board 9 inches wide x 14 inches long x 1 ¼ inches thick. This project is designed for the person with basic tool and woodworking skills.
Recommended Tools
- Table Saw
- Router with ½" Round Over Bit
- Tape Measure
- Belt Sander
- Random Orbit Sander
- Pencil
- Bar clamps (4)
Materials Needed
- Black Walnut, 3 pieces planed and straight edged 6" wide x 15" long x ¾" thick, approximately (1.7) board feet. If you have other lumber you can substitute it for the Walnut.
- Waterproof Glue Such as Titebond III
- Sand Paper 80,120 and 150 grit
- Cutting Board Oil for Finishing
Safety First
When using power tools follow all directions associated with that tool and always wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Making a Walnut Face Grain Cutting Board
Step 1:
Cut your walnut lumber into 12 strips 1 ½" wide x 15" long on your table saw. Make sure you have a sharp blade that makes a smooth 90 degree cut, because you have to glue these strips together to make your cutting board.
Step 2:
Now take the twelve 1 ½" wide strips and place them beside each other making a board 9" wide by 15" long by 1 3/8" thick. It is also a good idea to turn the grain of each piece (end grain) 90-degrees to the one next to it, for both strength and to enhance the look.
Step 3:
Now that you have the boards laid out like you want it take your pencil and make two wavy lines through the width of the board. This way you have a reference on each joint during the gluing process so you don't have to worry, do I have the strip turned the correct way. You can also number each board if you like.
Step 4:
Next set up your bar clamps and get the glue ready (I suggest you use Titebond glue this glue has been approved for use in making cutting boards). Apply glue to one side of each strip and smooth it out with your finger or a putty knife making sure the entire surface has been covered.
Step 5
Carefully assembled the twelve strips to minimize cutting problems later (squaring across the top of the board will make the assembly easer with less sanding) and applied clamping pressure, add just enough pressure to pull the joints together. Also make sure the pencil lines are in alignment that you placed on them in step #3. It's also a good idea to wipe away the excess glue that squeezed out during clamping; this makes the following step much easier.
Step 6:
Let the glue dry for at least one hour (follow the instructions for the glue you choose to use). After removing bar clamps, sand the top and bottom of your board smooth with a belt sander. Start with 80-grit sandpaper, then 120-grit and a final sanding with 150-grit using a random orbit sander. If you have access to a surface planer it would be better and faster to use it instead of the belt sander.
Step 7:
Now that you have your board glued together and cleaned up, take it to the table saw and using your miter gauge (make sure your gauge is square with the blade) square up one end of the board and then cut it off at 14" long.
Step 8:
Now that you have your board sanded smooth on the top and bottom surface and cut to length take a router with a ball bearing round over bit (or cutter of your choice) and route the edges.
Step 9:
Sand all edges you just routed and give the entire board a good look over and sand any areas that need it.
Step 10:
Finishing, there are many food-safe finishes available but on my cutting boards, I use a board oil made from mineral oil bee's wax and lemon oil. This type of oil is thicker than standard mineral oil helping to preserve and protect the wood from moisture. Also, it does not form a hard film on the surface that would be damaged by normal use of a cutting board. You may ask how much oil do I use the answer is never enough. When you oil your board let the oil soak in for 10 to 15 minutes. If the board soaks up the oil right away add more to surface and let stand, after 15 minutes remove any excess oil from the surface with a clean paper towel. This process will protect your board against moisture and extend the life of all your cutting boards.
I hope you have enjoyed this project and now you have a very functional cutting board to use or give as a gift whichever the case it is something you made that will last a lifetime.

Vision Boards And Your Dreams
A imaginative and prescient board is a helpful and highly effective device which activates the Law of Attraction. The imaginative and prescient board begins the process of manifesting your goals into reality. Through the generations, they have been known as purpose boards, objective maps, or treasure maps. Because the film launch of The Secret, they have regained popularity.
The purpose of your vision board is to deliver your goals, objectives, and desires into reality. Take into consideration what you want. It is very important resolve the main target, theme, or matter of your imaginative and prescient board.
In each vision board, four most important components to include are:
§ Visual. The subconscious thoughts works with visuals. Together with as many visible representations of your desired dreams focuses the subconscious. Adding words and phrases emphasizes emotional responses.
§ Emotional. When you take a look at your selected pictures, it's best to feel joyful and passionate. These emotions should energize to maneuver forward to take further action towards your goal.
§ Strategically-Placed. With the intention to manifest your goals quicker, your vision board must be positioned in a place the place you may continually see it. This manner, you're telling your unconscious what you need and its power is working on manifesting your goals right into a reality.
§ Personal. Sometimes, self-doubt, criticism, or simply detrimental feelings can block the power your imaginative and prescient board radiates. So, in case you feel any negativity, place your board in a personal place where your board is barely visible to you.
5 Steps to Creating a Imaginative and prescient Board:
Step 1: Discover footage, photos, phrases from magazines, brochures, on-line, anyplace, which pertain to your goal. First, compile them. Don't judge them. Just play around. See which ones strike a chord with you.
Step 2: Sort and Minimize your pictures. See which photos provde the biggest positive emotional response.
Step 3: Arrange and glue pictures: Don't worry about being Picasso. Just benefit from the process. Again, take into consideration emotionality. After you've gotten completed gluing your footage, add some phrases, phrases which hook up with your chosen pictures.
Step 4: Strategic-Placement: Important. This is where you will need to figure out the place you'll have the most exposure to your vision board. It might be your bedroom, front room, automobile, or office. It doesn't matter so long as it in a secure place. Keep in mind, destructive feelings can destroy the energy your vision board emits. So, when you have unfavourable emotions, make certain the imaginative and prescient board will be seen by you.
Step 5: Update. Your vision board will not be a final piece of art. It's a work in progress. Your life is constantly changing. As you see and feel your life progresses, place new photos, phrases on your board. Keep your inspirations alive. Place fresh photos once you sense optimistic shifts and adjustments to keep your passion going.
