Hi,

I have some Douglas Fir I'd like to use to make a cutting board. Good
idea? Bad idea?

TIA,

I would suggest that a hard Maple be used for many reasons already
mentioned. The actual cost of wood in a small project like this is
very little compared to the build time and the use that you would
expect from the project.
I have made spoons, spatulas and stirring items out of maple and
have never used any oil or finish on them.

Good luck
