OK to use pine for cutting board?

Hello folks, I'm a novice when it comes to woodworking. I'd like to make a fairly inexpensive cutting board & was wondering whether pine would be too soft for this. I have an old board that was made out of plywood so I thought that perhaps pine would do. Any comments would be really helpful! Thanks, Davis No, for a host of reasons. As many have said, its too soft on side and face grain. End grain is a sponge. The difference in the hardness of the grain and the soft wood between them will give you a very ribbed surface. If you want a very good, but inexpensive cutting board, go to a local sawmill, get some white oak (NOT red oak) and make an end grain cutting board. |
