If you can glue a few pieces of wood together, you can make a cutting board. Once the glue is dry, you only need to sand the surface smooth, cut the board to its final shape and seal it with mineral oil. This is a good project to use up scraps of hardwood you may have lying around. Step 1 Cut the lumber a little longer than the length you want the cutting board to be. (You’ll trim it to the desired size after the laminating process.) The width of your cutting board will be determined by the number of boards you glue together. The height of your cutting board will be determined by the dimensions of the lumber you glue together. Step 2 Glue individual boards together. This is also known as laminating. Line them up and apply glue to both sides of each board (but not at the edges). Position two woodworking clamps on the boards to hold them tightly together until the glue dries.
