Old Maple flooring for a cutting board....would you use it??

Hmmmm, Would you wrap your sammich in a pair of sweaty gym socks???

I’m just saying…..

-- My mind is like lighting, one brilliant flash, then its gone.....

I cant see any reason why you couldn’t use it. If no nails or holes remain, you should be good.

Marty – I can’t agree more…...but would the Maple care?

Thanks Shane…..that’s what I’m thinking…....

So the Score is:

NO – 1 YES – 1

Tie game.

As long as you don’t use sweaty gym socks to apply the finish, I don’t see a problem.

Bugs had carnal knowledge in the same tree….
Cows often got cow poop all over them before they were turned into meat…...

And your worried about a few gym socks?

Hahahahahahaha!

Thanks Bondo….....now that you mention it…..I do sometimes use old socks for finishing…....uh oh…..

Dallas…..you have a way with words…....

I say go for it. Besides, sweaty socks may impart that special “je n’est ce quoi” to your food prep. lol

Ain’t nuttin’ like a ‘lil “je n’est ce quoi” to put the spice in your soup…..

I don’t recall ever seeing people run around in their socks on the gym floor. If we use reclaimed barn wood why not reclaimed gym wood? Beautiful cutting board BTW.

Go for it.

Speaking from a TOTAL lack of experience….
I say go for it!
I think a little “toe jam”, on freshly cut bread, is the bomb!!!

I’m sure that you exposed all new wood surfaces in the milling process. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it : )
Nice looking board : )

While reading this to my wife I got down to Elizabeth’s post…at that point she said, “well, if a woman likes it, that settles it”. She then asked if it was pretty, so I showed her the picture. She says you probably don’t want that in your kitchen and she will be happy to take it off your hands.
