how tf do you clean wood boards?
like i thought you couldn't wash them off because it'll dry it out.
if i cut stuff on it it's going to absorb all into the pores of the wood. i don't want it all sitting in there. just wiping it generally does nothing

Poor fags will try to convince you that it's just a meme but the reality is that end grain is the best for the knife which makes your life slightly more convenient. I've been using good quality end grain for a couple years now and I'm not going back.

[Anonymous No.17668874]

>>17668807
I considered this and have a counter argument.
I think it would be easier and more practical to hone a knife before use and sharpen occasionally than to need to care for a board after each use, being realistic it would be washed, and put on the drying rack until the next morning (assuming that the washing, drying and oiling is as essential as some people say it is)

[Anonymous No.17668914]

>>17668874
You don't need to care for the board after each use. You should just wipe with a sponge if needed and then wipe it dry and that's about it. Definitely shouldn't be washed under running water and left to dry out, never. As for oiling it, it's once every couple of weeks or even months, depending how heavily you use it. You'll notice after a while that it's a bit worn in the spots you use most, until then there's no need to oil it. Definitely not a daily routine.

end grain, also snoop around your local farmers markets or hardwares stores because I bet there is at least one chucklefuck in town making cutting boards.

I had my local cutting board guy make me one, I love it. Did not even know how easy knife work was with an endboard compared to those shitty bamboo ones. he put heart of africa or something in it too, very pretty. I keep it posting against the wall for decoration when i'm not using it.

Yes. If you get green wood it needs to dry, and if you don't dry it properly it's going to crack and you'll have big gaps in the board. You also need to be able to surface both sides so they're flat and even with each other, it's not as simple as you make it sound.

what's the problem with plastic cutting boards? they're cheap and you can actually clean them easier and they don't require any maintenance.

[Anonymous No.17673100]

Yes buy a checker cutting board held together with glue that dries into polyurethane. Don't worry about the microplastics that comes off and sticks to your food. Look at how cute the board looks!


Definitely don't buy a stump cutting board. Those are unprocessed and very heavy.

“The scientists found that three minutes after contaminating a board that 99.9 percent of the bacteria on wooden boards had died, while none of the bacteria died on plastic. Bacterial numbers actually increased on plastic cutting boards held overnight at room temperature, but the scientists could not recover any bacteria from wooden boards treated the same way.“

Have you ever actually tried to work on a marble cutting board? Marble is harder than the average knife, it destroys them. Unless you're used to pushing butter knives through wood, you'd notice how quickly it fucks the edge up.

What more is there too it honestly? I know my great grandparents used stumps for slaughter and butchering small animals like squirrels, chicken and fish. They didnt sand or seal the stump either, so I doubt there is really more to it unless you're just being a contrarian reddit faggot "woodworker". Its not furniture its literally a slab of wood to stop a knife from damaging the underlying surface. Sanding and sealing with a tung oil or something would be going above and beyond in my opinion. I can't even find instructions on Google that say to do anything more than sanding and sealing once you're wood is the right shape and size. Why are you being niggers about it?

I used to think you needed to buy decent chopping boards and take care of them. Then I bought a bamboo board. It's lasted longer than any wooden ones I've had and was cheap as fuck. All I do is wipe it down. If it ever starts to break i'll just buy another. Fuck it.

Lol neither have you nigger, but you never asked me to. Here's a box I made sitting on a table I made. I dont know how this proves that you can or can't just sand and seal a log for a cutting board. I just asked what more to it there was than sanding and sealing, if you even wanted to go that far. Like I said, old heads have been using stumps and trees to clean and butcher stuff long before we were here. You can make the nicest board out of glued together exotic wood species but it wont preform better to any other piece of hardwood. Now post something you made and hand. I bet your a nigger or some reddit kike with bitch hands.

A cutting board is a wear pad to protect your bench. You buy it because you plan to damage it. Think about that while you're spending money on it.

I'm going off replies to my posts nigger, you didn't reply to my post with that so I didn't know. Not sure how wooden slab = coffee table or how it's the same thing since cutting boards aren't furniture. Glad to know your just biased to your methods and can't explain what more there is to making a cutting board besides sand and seal. You keep saying dumbass but you cant answer a genuine question without getting mad. You rather fight me than help me see why your sissy lala "woodworking" shit is needed

The average person does not have the tools to make a cutting board or the time to wait for the wood to cure, it's been explained multiple times throughout the thread. Trying to tell someone to buy the tools to surface and sand a slab of wood then spend a month putting a good tung oil finish on it vs just buying a cutting board is stupid, nobody said it won't work we said it doesn't make sense for the average person who doesn't have all these resources at their disposal.

I didnt know we were talking about average population making a cutting board. OP said they wanted to invest in a good cutting board. I think that puts them out of the average realm given they are willing so give extra for quality. I suggested to invest time by making one that could last a very long time if done right, not that everyone should make one. Someone said theres more to it than sanding and sealing, but no one has told me what that is, which has been what I'm asking. I just keep getting called a dumbass or told i need to post something I've made. Maybe I plan on making one of those fuckers and i would like to know what else I can expect besides the obvious. Why is it so hard to either answer a question or say you dont know?

I don't mind washing dishes at all (in fact I insist upon washing my dishes right away, unless it's a hot pan that needs to cool down or something that needs a good soak for whatever reason). but I hate hate HATE putting them away. because there's never a good storage solution. stacking plates and bowls and cups and such makes me mad. I have the same problem with folding clothes and putting them in dressers, so I just hang everything up (or leave it in a big pile dedicated to clean clothes) and iron if/when needed. usually I just wash my dishes and then leave them in my broken dishwasher to dry, since dishwasher seems to have the most efficient method for storing various shapes without stacking. I just really fucking hate stacking.
