How about drilling out the knots and replacing them with maple plugs?


i think it's better not use glue in your cutting board .


Nor use glue???

Cutting boards are traditionally laminated from strips of hardwood. Glue is
used to hold the hardwood strips together. Otherwise you would need a piece
of wood that is very wide. And that would lead to super cupping and
warping.

Unless, of course, you have a secret solution that would prevent said
cupping and warping.


He hand cuts really tight sliding dovetails on each board he uses?
