I have scoured the net and own a copy of "make your own cutting boards" by David Picciuto (GREAT RESOURCE BTW) I would like to compile a list of acceptable woods for cutting boards, both face and end grain
My staples have always been:
Hard White Maple
Cherry
Purple Heart
Yellow Heart
Walnut
I am questioning the following:
Hickory- (have a lot of this)
Ash
Zebrawood
Paduk
Mahogany?? General or African Mahogany here?
Canary Wood
Lace Wood
Bloodwood
Really questioning this one:
White Oak?
I know my list is extensive, but in looking on the net at cutting board sites these are the woods I see boards made out of. Please feel free to add any of your faves as well
Any info you folks can share or references you can point me to is greatly appreciated!
Time to go shovel snow and then make sawdust...
