Default Making new cutting board
I want to cut up my old cutting board into smaller pieces. What tool does one use to cut it into smaller sizes?

A very sharp knife(Stanley) and a ruler. Glad it's you doing it and not me.

You can use one of those really small power saws (battery driven). They cut through most anything and leave a smooth edge.

Do a search on line.... I haven't searched but know a lady that took her garden shears & cut hers up into very usable sizes. Good luck...and please let us know how you do and what you managed to use to do it.

I used my Cutco kitchen scissors and they worked perfectly!
