Cutting board

Dec 04, 2003 7 Replies

I have about 20 or so good red cedar boards laying around and was just wondering if it would be a bad idea to make a laminated cutting board from them. I read some after doing a google search, that pine was an alternative. Just kind of wonder what to do with these boards. I've already did SWMBO dressing room in all cedar, including a cedar blanket chest. Inquiring minds like mine want to know. TIA


It's really to soft in my opinion.

Build bird feeders or the like with it. It's a crappy wood for cutting boards (too soft etc.). Hank

It's a horrible idea.

It would be very unsanitary.

Yuck! Use them for an outdoor project. Bluebird houses made of cedar are very good.

No yuck. Cut them up and use a couple for planking fish or steaks. Sell the rest at grossly inflated prices, e.g:

agree with others that cedar is too soft for use in a cutting board.
