Would this be good to make a cutting board with?

I've used Titebond III exclusively on about 70 or 80 cutting boards and never had a problem. It's been used on all the exotics cuz I like the colorful end result and so do the folks that end up with them. I mention the exotics because many are oily and not considered because of that. With good prep I tried it, beat on it and it held up just like the rest. It's all I use.

How long does this glue last (i.e. shelf-life)? Would it still be good after 3 years or 5-10 years if sealed properly?

I don't know why you would want to keep a jar of glue 5-10 years. I would purchase smaller quantities on a "use as needed" basis. However, if you keep it in a moderate, non freezing temperature, well sealed, it would probably be ok for a few years. I have found most glues I have forgotten on the back shelf to be ready to be thrown away. I would not take the chance of using a 10 yr. old glue.

Is this marine grade glue? I'm building a wooden boat and am curious how well it will last.

Yes. Is is a "type 1 water proof glue"......It IS NOT an epoxy. It is not for sheathing planking ..No glue ever made is "water proof" "for below the waterline " ..glue joints, any/all glue joints should not be "continuously exposed" to water. The dried/cured glue should reside in clamped tight joints and should be covered with layers of caulking and hard enamel paint, or alternaltively, sheathed in epoxy resin...Titebond 3 is an excellent glue for boat building ..Before anyone builds a boat and gets in it their woodworking (and reading comprehension) skills should be up to par

would this glue be good for bow building?

I don't build Bows but I know of people that do and they use it. I use it in woodworking and if it's not an oily wood and you have tight joints, the glue is stronger than the wood it holds. you can also ask the bond company them selfs; I have written to them about questions and within a day or two have heard back from them.

Very good waterproof wood glue

I use it for gluing up cutting boards and furniture where I need a longer open time. Its waterproof when dried which is obviously what you want for a cutting board. Titebond is arguably the best glue on the market for general woodworking that is simple to use. It adheres well and creates a very strong bond once dried. Easy to clean up if you get it on your hands or unintended work surfaces. It has went up in price over the years which is a shame, but if you look around at big box stores and even smaller stores you can find it for a little cheaper.

Great glue - great size.

I love this glue and find the gallon to be the most economical way to buy. Just be careful you do not buy more glue than you can use in a year! If you're making cutting boards, or building outdoor items, you must use a waterproof glue like this and I always trust this brand for all of my glue needs!
