What a journey this has been!
It hasn't been easy, but that's okay. I am stronger for it now, and there definitely was a silver lining to this.
My production methods have changed for the better. More on that in another video.
This was a hard video to film and produce. I have been sitting on this footage for 1.5 years now. This is about the struggles because they damn sure are real. I hit a bottom of sorts, most of that is left off-camera. Pretty hard to film when things get super hard.
The ending is raw, probably won't help my RUclips algorithm, but hopefully, it will help some of you who watch this...

Live-Edge Walnut Butcher Blocks?

I took two beautiful English walnut slabs and turned them into 5 butcher blocks. I tried to save as much of the live edge as possible while bookmatching the blocks.

    Client wants what client wants. But this isn’t a restoration project, it’s scrap wood that should’ve been used for scraps. The time, money and energy used could’ve gone to making about 10 of these butcher blocks. Anything having to do with food needs to be treated with utmost care, as this guy knows, so he did what he has to. But if a client asked me to do this, and I’d refuse.
