    Great boards! I love the organic look of the walnut and the widely varying colors it provides.

    Your videos are always so entertaining, and inspirational. I watch them over and over again, prior to building my own boards for your tips and the inspiration to make my own. Thank you and can’t wait to see you come back with more videos, hope you and your family are doing well.
  • I love the thoughts about picking the wood and the color/ wood selection. It’s inspiring
  • Terrific video, thanks. You put so much thought and care into this that, even after watching dozens of cutting board videos, I still got a lot of real value out of it. Well done.
  • @J-D248
