Default How to make a cutting board

I'd worry more about the bacteria and other goodies that grow in cutting

boards
than in the glue used.. YMWV


As well, I've read that bacteria analysis in wooden cutting boards compared
to plastic type cutting boards, shows fewer bacteria. It's proposed that the
oils and such in wood inhibit the growth of bacteria more than the surfaces
of plastic products.

Of course, in any scenario it's prudent to clean cutting boards of any type
after use. There's nothing I hate worse than bit's of left over chili
peppers getting mixed into my chopped up strawberries.
