How It's Made - Optical Illusion End Grain Cutting Board

Video Description

I walk you through my process of how I built this massive end grain cutting board out of 2" thick maple & walnut. A couple hiccups along the way, but the finished board turned out great! Make sure to subscribe for more custom woodworking videos. If you'd like to see what else I've built, head over to my website and check out the gallery where I have pictures of all my past projects. If you'd like to own this or another custom, handcrafted board, check out the shop while you're there! To see what I’m working on right now, make sure to follow me on Instagram. Thanks for watching! **Missed a detail: At 1:23, I cut the maple the same as the walnut; into 22" pieces.** ▶️ Want to support this channel?
