I have made several cutting boards in the past and I always used biscuits to assure strength for glue joints. Now I am about to make another one and I am wondering if biscuits are necessary. Would good waterproof glue work satisfactorily? I know that the ones I've made for my wife get cleaned, sanded and oiled about once a year or two. Another factor is life. After a few years she wants it replaced.......weather it is worn or just "ugly" I'm thinking that a good quality waterproof glue would work well. What are your thoughts?

I have 5 pcs of 1-3/16” hard maple laying on my TS and max. mismatch measures 0.025” in the center when I added clamps to the board ends. The longer boards are 60” long. Do I need to use biscuits between each board for glue up? The two ¾” cherry strips are already glued to the center board. Danl

You can buy painter pyramids Or you can make your own. Waiting to try these out. Some scrap melamine MDF and a few biscuits Keeps the project off the table and allows staining or finishing without sticking to the table top or paper. If the back side of something needs finishes and might not be super critical, you can do both sides at once. For example, put these in the hinge holes and pull/knob holes after you've put finish on the back, then do the front and edges.
