Can you use this in a bamboo cutting board? Thanks

The label says: "Ideal for butcher Blocks, Cutting Boards & Wooden Culinary Utensils". I Would include Bamboo in those.

I've never tried to cut bamboo...I don't know if it will split if you try. But if it doesn't split, then yes you could, with these considerations: 1) Look at the picture and envision it as 3 pieces...the surface and 2 U-shaped legs, with the U's formed by the flat bases and the "dowel rods". I don't recall when I got mine if the legs were pre-assembled or were actually 3 pieces themselves...I'm thinking 3 pieces, where there were 2 separate dowel rods and the base piece, for each leg. 2) The tops of the leg dowel rods are slightly narrower where they fit into small holes on the underside of the surface piece. If the legs are 3 separate pieces, you can just cut the unnecessary length from the bottom portion before you assemble it. But if the legs are pre-assembled they would have to be cut from the top where they fit into those holes. So once you cut the legs to a shorter length, you would need to file down the diameter of the rod slightly so it will fit into the holes.

I have used my 15 Gauge on hardwood tongue and grove and it did it's job. I have not worked with any bamboo but would not expect good results. Keep air dry and up to recommended level and oil frequently.

yeah I'm sure you could cut it with a good jigsaw, fine tooth wood cutting blade. I just used wood drill bits to put holes in it. You might want to do a little at a time, so that the blade doesn't heat up and melt the cutting board. It also could make it a little flimsy, I think. depending on the hole size. Cool idear.

As I use it for engineered flooring, I can say "yes". Although I have NOT used it for bamboo, I'm sure it will fine!

Sorry, never used it for those plants. You might research bamboo plants on the web and find an answer; good luck!

If you do not care for looks...yes it could be used..I really don't think it was meant to be a cutting board...the top has a slick coating..hope this helps

I would not suggest this product be used on your wooden cutting board. There are other products on the market that are safe for using where food will come in contact with it. Mineral Oil, Bee's Wax, and a product called Salad bowl finish. I use these on my wooden bowls.

Mine is a sturdy, wood board that appears it could easily be used as a cutting board, as long as it was treated with cutting board finishes and cleaning agents. I do not cut on mine, although I use it regularly for food prep. I have small, recycled plastic cutting boards I keep on the top shelf that I use instead and a waste basket right next to it for scraps. So while I do not use it as a cutting board, mainly because I am too lazy to take care the wood, it would appear to me that you can.

I would say no as you would not be able to get the blade underneath the board. It cuts like scissors.

Yes - but it would depend on the thickness of the board. I would say if its less than half an inch to quarter of an inch it would. We put our plastic cutting boards on here.

I don;t see why not. It's wood. (bamboo) The only issue may be the screws might rust. But the screws are counter sunk in so even if they do you won't see it. Plus you can buy Rust inhibitor at home depot. It really works. and may I as a precaution I would use clear Thompson water seal. If they have a spray use that.

Yes, it's safe to use on cutting boards or butcher block counter tops. I actually have a butcher block from Ikea and I've been using this product ever since. It's great and doesn't leave a funky smell. I can cut my veggies and fruits right on the counter top.

No matter where you go to read about all the different cutting boards you are going to hear people's opinions. Bamboo is allegedly harder on knives than other woods. Although i would think that Maple would be harder. I have heard plastic is the worst for knives. Yet, I have read of pro caterers who only use plastic boards. At least bamboo ('boo' boards) is eco-freindly. I purchased a teak board from a company that allegedly grew their own teak and did not deforest any other Eco-systems but their own. I have owned my boo board and teak board over a year and a half and use Henckles knives; usually 2-3 times a week. I have not seen or felt any unusual dulling of those knifes. I will steel them prior to each use to help keep the edge. My view, as a casual user, is that bamboo will be just fine. The one thing to remember with any wood board is to mineral oil them about once a month to prevent cracking; do not use any other oil, like olive or saffron, etc; Do not put them in the dishwasher. Keep your knives sharp. So, in brief, do as much investigation as possible and make your decision based on how much you use the board. If you are a casual cook like me, I would recommend boo boards mainly because they can be regrown so quickly.

Sure. I don't see why not. Just keep in mind its a smaller cutting board so you can't cut anything larger. It would also depend on the thickness. You would only be able to do 1 layer at a time.

I would not....it will dry out and crack eventually. I use lemon and salt and sometimes just warm water and soap. You need to oil the bamboo once in awhile as well. I use palm oil.

Personally I would not use the top for a cutting board--especially considering the vast variety of cutting boards available in styles, sizes and prices--I think the wood a touch too soft for that use, though I believe it could be used in such a fashion. I purchased a cutting board that fits over the top like it belongs there.
