From ripping big pieces of wood down to a usable size to finishing them with a homemade concoction of mineral oil and beeswax - I've completed a bunch of cutting boards. They're going to family members as Christmas presents. 

The tools I used: Kobalt table saw, Dewalt planer, a ton of Harbor Freight clamps, the Dewalt palm sander that has a cameo in several of the photos, and the best tool of all- a Shop Vac. The boards are held together with Titebond wood glue and the knots are filled with an FDA approved epoxy resin.
