Attempting an endgrain cutting board
(lemmy.world)
I am starting off the new year by using my discount second hand tools to try and cobble together a nice birthday present for my wife. Materials include water damaged maple, warped walnut, and spider-infested purple heart. Wish me luck.
I read that endgrain is preferable for cutting boards, as the fibers act like springs and increase longevity. But requiring more oiling.
Project look great.
Thank you. I think the idea is that the knife blade passes between the fibers just deep enough until it gets wedged to stop the cut, instead of severing the fibers as in a face grain cutting board.
