Is Making a Cutting Board from Pallets a Terrible Mistake?

[@baller13zg]

The guy in this video is so cool, everybody should follow him and build epic stuff

[@ericblanch7714]

It may not last as long as a board made with hardwoods but it's still a good idea I think. :)

The grain looks so good on the finished product! Probably looks even better in person. Is there ever a risk of it cupping again?

[@nomithinks]

Yes it is slightly cupped but nothing some rubber feet can't solve! Helps it stay balanced

[@OneLiterPeter]

Is Making a Cutting Board from Pallets a Terrible Mistake? Kind of depends on what the pallet is made of, wouldn't you say? Hardwood = No - Steel = Yes

This is incredible!

When he was man’s-planing all I could think was “you can tell it’s wood by the way that it is”.

[@nomithinks]

Hey its still working good for us haha

[@The_AntiVillain]

No it isn't a good idea because of the wood treated with fungicide on some of the pallets

[@cowewow]

Is there a way you could test for that or would you just have to know the pallet manufacturers process?

[@jonprovencebell4171]

​@@cowewow there is a way to test the pallets

[@jonprovencebell4171]

The pallets have tags that say MB or HT. These tags will tell you if they are safe to use.
