My oldest daughter, now residing in sunny Florida, finally got an apartment of her own. Needless to say, she has little in the way of apartment "peripherals" and one of the items she's requesting is a cutting board. Well, the old man can whip one of these things up! I have some Walnut, BE Maple, regular Hard Maple, but also have a nice chunk of Lacewood. I figure that would add a nice (special) touch to the piece. Is Lacewood OK to use on something like a cutting board?
