End Grain Cutting Board Plans

The Wood Whipser’s Viral Cutting Board Plan – Possibly the most popular how to make a cutting board video on the web, this video from the talened “Wood Whisper” has been viewed over 350,000 times on Youtube!  An easy, simple design, and wonderful video tutorial on how to make a cutting board!  Another link we have found with a PDF and more plans for this design!

Wood Magazine’s Classic Checkered Cutting Board Plan –  This beautiful cutting board uses a classic design creating a checkered cutting board of maple and walnut.  I truly striking board!

Router Jim’s Walnut, Maple and Cherry Cutting Board Plan – This is quite a nice design that is a little different than the standard checkered plan but still incorporates multiple wood.  The best part about this particular plan is that there are a few different design options and another great tutorial on how to make a cutting board.

Fancy End Grain Cutting Board Plan – Not quite sure if this board is any “fancier” than other designs but it definitely has a neat touch with the “fuzzy” look the interlocking boards give it.  Certainly a good cutting board plan for anyone looking for a challenge.

Multi-Wood End Grain Cutting Board Plan – This isn’t a plan per say, but it is a pretty awesome looking board.  Dave used  fir, birch, walnut, cherry, bubing, and another mystery wood to make this board.  Check out the link for a step by step process on how he made it!

Tumbling Block End Grain Cutting Board Plan – This plan is pretty awesome, but probably the most advanced plan on here.  If you have the skill and time to construct this board you will not be disappointed.
