The chat about the different woods to use for spoons has gotten me to  
thinking. I was wondering if anyone out there has suggestions on types of  non-toxic 
glues. Considering making salad forks out of laminated cherry and  maple. 
Also wondering if this is a good idea. Any thoughts or comments would  be 
wonderful.

Elmers white glue and other brands using the same components are  not only 
non-toxic but have been used by quite a few professionals in cabinet  and 
furniture applications.  My only problem is that if spoons are to be  used as 
spoons, rather than decorative, I would worry more about the spoons  sitting in dish 
water for any extended amt of time.  I don't know if the  elmers would hold 
up.
