I ran a endgrain board through the planer last night and it ripped of the last third of the board not just destroying the entire piece I been working on for 4 days but also hurled the broken piece about 10 feet across the garage putting a huge dent in the washing machine. In addition to not getting the promised cutting board I now have to explain to my dear wife where the dent in her washing machine came from. I wont do that again.

I’m Andres’ father, my wife cried when she saw it. I’m getting a little misty just reading the reviews, and I have showed this website to everyone at work. Just recently Andre made a tea box for his mother for mother’s day. Again, she cried, hope he submits this one too.

Looks like I’m a little behind, (I was gone away). The board is 1 1/2 x 18 x 15. Let me tell you about my planer experience. I tried because I read somewhere that if you take a small enough bite it is safe. Lets just say that I’m glad I was standing beside the planer and not behind it. About 1/4 of the board was grabbed, torn off and flung half way across my shop!! Luckily it was a comparatively easy fix, but I’ll NEVER do it again. I never realized that walnut was bad in cutting boards… Oops, I hope it’s not too bad!!

Great Cutting Board. I thought that using walnut in a cutting board was a no no. But hey what do i know. Maybe the finish on it will protect it? Just wondering.

Excellent job!!

I made a cutting board for my mother for x-mas and the same thing happened; she likes it so much she does not want to use it.

Again… very nice job!

I remember in high school shop class (long, long ago) a guy tried running an end grain cutting board through the 20″ planer. I have no idea how deep of a cut he was trying to take, but it only made it about 2″ or 3″ before it “exploded”. It seriously made a huge racket and scared the crap out of everyone including the teacher.
