I was wondering what type of bit did you use to flatten one side of the butcher block? Is it an end grain? And does David Marks' show on line? Thanks David Tim,
Nice work. I was wondering what type of bit did you use to flatten one side of the butcher block? Is it an end grain? And does David Marks’ show on line?

I would created a 6"x6" or 8"x8" useable cutting board out of some of the left over lumber with a pearing knife slot or holder on it then place a nice fruit bowl on it. Your parents would love it! --Kevin Nice work Tim,

For the 1st round, it was just butt joints since the long grain still needs to be cut again. for the 2nd round, I used biscuits, though dominoes would do as well. And yes, it weighs close to 120 lbs by itself. Throw in the cabinet and it exceeds 200 lbs. steve : flattening the top was a pain because of the glue squeeze-out. Yes, cauls help to get the board close to 90 to 95% flat, but believe it or not, the top still needs to be worked on after that for the final sanding and finesse. With it being so large, my performax 22-44 drum sander could not handle it well. I could have and should have rented time on a giant belt sander in a commercial shop. Tim Hi all :

After watching Marc's cutting board video, I thought that using cauls with enough clamps would prevent any problems with keeping the top flat.

Very nice. It must weigh a ton. What type of glue did you use and is the top just held in with butt joints? Thanks Lates i make cutting boards and I must say that this is impressive! Very nice. It must weigh a ton. What type of glue did you use and is the top just held in with butt joints?
