From Barrel to Butcher Block - Explained || Woodworking

Video Description

I take some barrels apart, repurpose the wood into a solid oak chopping block and explain how and why I do the things that I do. In this video, I'll go over how I mill up barrel lumber, my thoughts on using oak in cutting boards, tips for sanding end grain and a whole lot more. If you'd rather watch this build come together without listening to me talk and just the sounds of woodworking then check out the other video I did on this build; link below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments. Time stamps included below for skipping to a certain part. Final dimensions of the block: 18" x 24" x 3" thick Weight: 46 lbs. Total hours to build & film: 40 ▶️ Want to support this channel?
