Nick2cd Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 i recently acquired a small load of cedar......maybe 50 board feet. I planed a few pieces to square them up/reveal their grain and was blown away with the color and figure in the wood. it's absolutely beautiful. i know cedar is probably too soft to use to make an entire end grain cutting board, but what about a few accent strips? i use a lot of cherry and walnut in my boards. i think i center strip of cedar would look great. would it be food safe? i know people use cedar planks to grill salmon, so it leads me to believe it's a relatively food safe wood. what say you???

Rick LoDico Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 You have 50 BF of cedar? That's enough for a Jake's Chair and foot rest. http://www.jakeschair.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areynoldsre Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'd say it is food safe. I have seen a few cedar cutting boards for sale and of course you can get cedar grilling planks. I say you'd be safe enough. But if I had 50 bf cedar I might be making a couple of blanket chests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
