Greetings gentlefolks
I am looking to build a breadbox for my wife to replace the one her great-grandpa made that was swiped from her. I am wondering what the best wood choice would be? I don't know what wood her old one was because it had a painted finish on the exterior surfaces, and the interior was all carefully charred so the grain was not visible.
I know that I am more a fan of hardwoods than soft, but I'll use whatever is best for the longevity of the box as well as its contents.
I appreciate whatever wisdom you would care to share on this subject.
Cheers
Shawn
