Looking for End Grain cutting board instructions - Woodworking Talk

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am looking to make an End Grain Cutting board and saw one made on the DIY show Wood Works. I can seem to locate the instructions for this project. If anyone has any links or other sites for instructions please share them with me.

Thanks

Though it's not from DIY, I found a really good set of instructions for a nice looking one on www.TheWoodWhisperer.com. Just go to 'All Episodes' in the flash window and find Episode #7

Thanks for the information. I have seen this before but had trouble relocating it. If there is anyone else with other information please send it. Again thanks for sharing.

Wood Magazine has had some nice instructions for cutting boards--check their archives.

Check out their October 2006 issue if you can.
It has a plan for an interesting end-grain board.

I'll post a pic of the one I built, if I can locate one.

One word of caution though, watch for tear out when planing an end-grain cutting board. I should've placed a board the same width
and thickness along the trailing end as I ran it through the planer. I didn't and it took a nice 'bite' out of the end.

Hey thanks Ron, will se if I can find that issue. I checked out your boards and they are very nice. Do you sell many of them?

ThankX, I've sold several, mostly through a local 'crafters gallery' and craft shows, I also made close to a dozen for Christmas '06 gifts, but, haven't done much woodworking in general over the past year and a half as my attention has been needed elsewhere (currently installing new hw floors).

The end-grain board was definetly more involved and took a bit longer to build, but, all the others are pretty easy and only take a few hours + glue drying time.

Have a good holiday,
Ron
