This Cheap $3 Cutting Board is Better than an Expensive One

Turn a cheap 2x4 into a cutting board that’s better than a professional end grain cutting board! I challenged myself to turn a 2x4 stud into a professional looking end grain cutting board. But how will it hold up to the demands of everyday use in the kitchen? To test this, I made a maple end grain cutting board in my workshop and then compared the two cutting boards. They were tested for their durability from a variety of knives, their ability to resist stains, and their stability after washing with soap and water. I was shocked at the results! Woodworking is expensive enough. It’s always great when we can figure out a way to make it a little cheaper. Maybe that’s a different tool or cheaper lumber. I hope this woodworking project provides some creativity and inspiration to get into your workshop to make something others say is impossible!

    I made matching end grain cutting boards from Southern Yellow Pine from a big box store and Cherry. My results are similar to Newton's. In the end, the pine showed marks a little more, but not enough anyone would care. No "pine taste" or any of the problems people caution about. Most people prefered the look of the pine over the cherry surprisingly. For testing, I drug a serrated steak knife over each surface 5,000 times.

    Another interesting test would have been (or would be if you added it) is the sharpness of a knife after use. A lot of people think end-grain cutting boards or bamboo are great, but they can be murder on a knife's edge. I've debated making a edge grain board or pine like here for that reason.

    The reason to use maple versus pine is that with heavy chopping and slicing, as with meat and chicken, the knife grooves in the maple are only going to be superficial as opposed to deeper cuts into the soft pine. Those deeper cuts harbor bacteria which are difficult to eliminate which is why restaurant codes effectively bar the use of any wood cutting boards in favor of artificial boards that do not sustain the same amount of damage. Moreover your knife skill are not those of an accomplished cook whose cuts would be much harder and more vigorous. As a woodworker and a cook I think you have created a board that would probably harbor more salmonella and other bacteria than I would be comfortable with. I'll stick to my hard maple boards.

      Well. Plus. Pine or even hardwood like oak is actually an open grain. So every time to cut into the grain. The moisture runs deep into the length of the the grain. Whereas things like hard maple, walnut, and cherry are often used as all are hardwoods which was your original point but they also aren’t open grains. They are more like a bamboo. Their grains close off at whatever distance. Easier to maintain and keep clean. As a woodworker and cooker myself, I hope you knew all this or just were speaking to the lowest common denominator.

      That’s not true. Wooden cutting boards are not banned in restaurants. That being said, you might live in a city that has some unnecessary ordinance that prohibits them in your local area, but overall they have been tested and found to be completely safe. Oak is ok as well. It’s naturally antibacterial and anti microbial.

    I have had an end grain Larch wood cutting board that I have use every day for over 5 years and it has held up extremely well. Additionally, being a soft wood it is easier on your knife blades. I prefer it to any hardwood cutting board. If you compare non-end grain cutting boards, hard wood would hold up better but be much rougher on your knives, more resistant to the board being cut. The principle is that with end grain the knife blade is splitting between the fibers, as opposed to cutting across the grain, which would wear your blade down faster. Thus for every day use a softer end grain board would be best for your knives.

      You always have great videos and give good advice. So I signed up for the membership for WWGOA and I gotta say, I'm not impressed. I only watched a dozen videos, and read a few articles before deciding it wasn't worth my time. There was an article addressing powering a sawstop that directly contradicted itself twice, left me more confused than before. People pointed it out in the comments, no response to clarify. There was a video about how to calibrate the gauge on a tablesaw. The host cut a piece of wood, measured it, found out that the cut was perfect, then moved the settings anyway without explaining why. Made no sense, had no explanation. Also was not clarified when multiple people pointed it out in the comments. If I ran into this in 30 minutes on the site, I can't imagine what the rest of the content is like. At least I only lost a buck 50. 🤷‍♂️ I did find that they have a system setup to invite friends and family to share your membership, which I thought was really cool. Too bad I don't think the membership is worthwhile. I find much higher quality content on UA-cam, including this channel!
