Chopping block

Nice choice of woods,When ever I make any cutting boards I also use Tite Bond II and never had any failing joints, nice design.

the board looks great and I love the pattern. I may just have to borrow the idea. I have a couple of recommendations. Do not finish your boards with vegetable oil because the oil will go rancid, instead use Butcher Block Oil or Mineral Oil (this is what I use and it is the cheapest). Than I use Tite Bond III because it is water proof and it is FDA approved for food contact surfaces. I love making Boards and you can say I am addicted.. If you have any other questions please message me!!

Thanks for your input, Chef. Feel free to use my idea! I guess I need to soak as much of the oil out with a rag / paper towelling before redoing it with mineral oil.

Very nice pattern and wood choices : )
I’ve made hundreds of boards using TBII , with no problems at all.
Stay away from TBIII if using light colored woods because it dries dark and will show the slightest gap in your glue lines. I second the motion in favor of Mineral Oil over vegetable oils : )

Really nice board. I’ve made a few with TBII—never had a problem. They’re going on 10 years old now . . .

-- If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

Well done, Over 250 bosrd here I always use III. I do 50/50 cut of General Finishes Salad Bow Finish if they want it shinny. If matt finish is requested I soak it with mineral Oil and the put Bees wax on it.

Love your chopping block. I use Tite Bond III because it is waterproof. I also use grapeseed oil for the finish. Vegetable oil can turn rancid!
