In this video I attempted to make some end-grain cutting boards from Southern Yellow Pine. This is the first time that I have tried to make a cutting board out of this type of wood. I know pine is generally not the first choice for cutting boards but I like the unique pattern variations you can get from the end grain.

Unfortunately, these boards didn't turn out exactly like I had planned. There was too much blue stain color in the wood which I wasn't a big fan of. Plus I'm not educated enough about what the blue stain color is from to feel confident using it as cutting boards. It might not be an issue at all but to play it safe I won't be using these as cutting boards.

I try to be 100% authentic with you guys in my videos and sometimes that means that things I build don't always turn out like I had hoped. I think of them as learning lessons though and I will definitely try to make this again and avoid using pieces that have that blue stain.
