How to Make River Charcuterie Boards

In this video we will take you through the process we used to make six river charcuterie boards. We will show you things we did well as well as mistakes that were made that impacted efficiency... the boards themselves turned out great. Watch this video if you are planning on making your own river board or multiple boards in the near future.

Some of the products used in making this table:

This is the epoxy I use to seal the edges of the boards before pouring the river as well as to fill holes and voids (Stone Coat Countertops). https://amzn.to/37dCqsG

Super Cast Epoxy (designed to be poured over 3/4" and up to 2" in a single pour) used on the river. https://amzn.to/3pgtGJN

Metallic powder additive used with the super cast epoxy. https://amzn.to/3oec7sy

When using a 1:1 ratio epoxy, measuring your amounts is extremely important. Here is the brand of mixing cup I trust and has never let me down https://amzn.to/3iGUHU0

I use Diablo 5" random orbital sanding discs (I use different grits, working my way up to 220 - there is no need to go beyond 220 grit when using epoxy) https://amzn.to/2MizlAv

With the exception of a little hand sanding, I use this Dewalt Random Orbital Sander https://amzn.to/3iJVxzx

These are the metal sanding disks I use on my 4 1/2 grinder with the grinder conversion attachment. I use 50 grit. https://amzn.to/3jTTB89

To remove router lines, excess epoxy, and/or hardened epoxy drips, I use this conversion grinder attachment on my 4 1/2 grinder and attach low grit metal sanding disks. https://amzn.to/3pueJ5Y

Use this self igniting propane torch to pop air bubbles. https://amzn.to/34yBXzV

This is the tape I use in the mold for the river table. It helps ensure an easy release once your epoxy has cured. https://amzn.to/3uxt6Jm

This is a thickset casting epoxy that was used to make the river part of three of the boards (Total Boat Epoxy). https://amzn.to/3lrqWtI

This is the CA glue I used to fill holes and small voids that when combined with the accelerator is ready to sand in seconds. https://amzn.to/3j836AM

This is the accelerator that you spray on the CA glue to make the product hard within seconds. The CA glue and accelerator must be used in combination. https://amzn.to/37k7yGN

This is the finish I used a buffing wheel to apply to three of the river boards. This finish holds up better than oil and wax, but is a little more difficult to apply (Rubio Monocoat). https://amzn.to/3xj86rh

This is the butcher block conditioner that is a mixture of oil and wax I used on the other three river boards. https://amzn.to/3ykkFUm
