Strange Thought Today

What would be wrong with building a torsion box cutting board? It would be
much lighter, which would be novel. It would be less likely to warp and
crack. It would be cheaper. What am I missing?

And also much more likely to dance around on the counter. I like my
cutting boards to have some mass.

Cheaper? More time and materials I think. What am I missing? Cheers, JG

Meat cleaver ring a bell?
Ever seen a meat tenderizer hammer?
You do have to wash them off and sometimes even soak them before
scrubbing. Get water inside the torsion box - even through a
pin hole and ...

How big (thick) is a cutting board? I doubt cheaper, and certainly
more bulky to store it away.
