Good looking board, especially the walnut, not to mention it being your first board. I’d personally stay away from oak on your future end grain board. What did you finish this board with?

Jonathan, I just used wal-mart mineral oil. I brushed it heavy and let it soak for a day keeping it wet. FYI the third picture was with it wetted with mineral oil that’s the reason for the extreme glossiness. Why the concern for oak with end-grain? Tear-out? Thanks to everyone for the comments, Adam

I do have a question and not sure if i can do it here or not. But how much clamping pressure should be applied make glueing a cutting board?

I’m not sure of the “correct” answer but, I clamped it fairly tight to ensure there were not any gaps between. If you clamp too tight it will try arch up and not stay level.
Have your say...
