This board is headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, but it’s got to have a good oil bath and beeswax finish before heading out.

Precision Craftsmanship: Preparation Meets Perfection

Leveling a custom 1-inch cutting board before final sanding, oiling, and shipping it out to a client in Georgia.

While passing the board through a traditional planer is faster, using our CNC machine allows us to control material removal down to the thousandth of an inch. This additional step ensures a flatter, higher-precision finish. Taking the extra time is worth it to deliver the highest possible quality to our customers.

Cutting finger grooves on a board that’s getting ready to go out to New Jersey.

This is a test carving where I added a frame to the last supper file that I have used in previous carvings. I will adjust a few things and this will be available in the near future in my Etsy shop. If you’re interested, please reach out.

Did you know there's a huge difference between being "planed smooth" and being truly flat?
These two photos show a great comparison. I processed a piece of cherry through a high-end industrial thickness planer. It feels smooth to the touch, but it's not truly flat.
Check out the photos:
In photo 1, I took a very shallow 0.50mm flattening pass with the CNC. Notice the dark spots of wood? Those are low areas that the CNC's surface planer didn't even touch. This proves how un-level the surface still was, even after coming out of a very expensive planer.
In photo 2, I took a slightly deeper pass of 0.75mm. This was just deep enough to reach the lowest spot, leaving the full face perfectly clean and, more importantly, perfectly flat.
This is exactly why I do my final flattening on the CNC. If you want a perfect, gap-free glue-up, especially with critical joinery, you can't beat the precision of a CNC for that final, truly flat surface.

There’s nothing quite like the moment the oil hits the wood. This walnut board is finally coming to life!
You can see the residue as the wood "drinks" the oil, but the grain is already standing out beautifully. Before this stage, I make sure to deep-clean the board, plowing every bit of dust out of the wood pores. It’s a tedious step, but it’s the only way to ensure the oil penetrates deeply and the grain stays crystal clear instead of looking muddy.
At Casey's Wood and Wick, we don't skip the small steps. That’s how you get a professional-grade finish that looks as good in your kitchen as it does in the shop.

A juice groove isn't just a convenience—it’s a precision feature.
While many shop-made boards use a handheld router for this step, I prefer the CNC. Why? Because it allows for perfectly consistent depth and perfectly radiused corners every single time. No shaky hands, no "burn marks" from a stalled router bit, and no uneven grooves.
I take immense pride in the details. When you’re invest in one of my boards, you’re getting a piece where every single line is calculated to be the highest quality on the market.

If you want a high-quality flat cutting board, you cannot beat the CNC for flattening. Superior to the planner or Drum Sander.

The Precision of Craftsmanship
Ever wonder how we get our boards so smooth? It starts with a precision "surfacing" pass on the CNC.
Traditional shop tools have their limits. Planers are great, but they can "snipe" the ends of the wood, leaving a dip. Drum sanders are helpful, but they often leave a "ripple effect" that you don't even see until you apply the final oil.
I take immense pride in every piece that leaves Casey's Wood and Wick. My goal isn’t just to make a cutting board; it’s to produce the highest quality board on the market. By using the CNC to fly-cut the surface, I ensure the board is 100% dead-flat before it ever touches a piece of sandpaper.
It takes more time and better technology, but for a professional-grade finish that lasts a lifetime, it’s the only way to do it.
