Do you see any problem putting decking type screws between slats
when making a cutting board. This would be done to help hold it together
while glueing and for added strength and resistance to bowing.
I seem to have trouble when I just clamp everything. It gets bowed.
my plan would be to pre drill holes and screw together 4 slats at a time
(and also glue). Then I would attach these sub assembles and glue them
together somehow. Maybe inserting dowels for extra strength.
Just been thinking. I am using maple.


What thickness ? of maple.
.. others mentioned clamping pressure ..
... perhaps more of a problem with thin stock ?
