Diy Butcher Block Cutting Board

To make a DIY butcher block cutting board, you will need hardwood boards, wood glue, clamps, a table saw or circular saw, a miter saw, a plane or sander, and a food-safe finish.

Select and mill your wood. Choose a hardwood that is durable and has a close grain, such as maple, cherry, or walnut. The boards should be at least 3/4 inches thick.
Cut the boards into strips. Use a table saw or circular saw to cut the boards into strips of the desired width.
Glue the strips together. Apply a generous amount of wood glue to the end grain of each strip and clamp them together. Make sure the strips are aligned evenly and tightly clamped.
Flatten and square the butcher block. Once the glue has dried, use a plane or sander to flatten and square the butcher block.
Route the edges and sand. Use a router to round over the edges of the butcher block. Then, sand the butcher block smooth using a variety of grits.
Apply a food-safe finish. Apply a food-safe finish to the butcher block to protect it from moisture and bacteria.

Once the finish has dried, your DIY butcher block cutting board is ready to use!
