Pastry board
A request to make a pastry board also to be used to roll out icing etc , not a chopping board.
What coating would it need ,if at all.
Would clear NZ pine be suitable. NF

I would still use "Mineral Oil". Once dried, it is fine and will not leech or prevent from dusting for rolling.
some others may have a different opinion, but a board is a board is a board. I have an end grain chopping board that gets used for everything from buttering toast to slicing cheese, to making sandwiches and is a nice flat surface for my daughter to throw and play with her home made slime on.
Cant see why clear pine wouldn't work, but id be doing end grain style 40mm should be nice and solid.

Untreated radiata pine would be fine but it does dent relatively easily. Hence a hardwood would be better.
I wonder if using wood as a base for a large floor title would work?

Do not use Radiata or any scented woods, they can flavour the pastry. Best timber for the job is Kauri pine, unfinished. Was always the choice for kitchen timber in the old days due to its antibacterial properties.
