2007年3月7日 · I agree that mahogany is not a very durable cutting board, but it is their choice. Applying products to harden the board is not a good idea in terms of food safe finishes. If you want to suggest a wood that is a better choice, try to find and choose some jatoba that is in the right colour tones. Some people call it South American cherry.

2010年1月3日 · I've seen a number of really neat cutting boards posted recently and the one in my kitchen just cracked in half so I'm going to make a cutting board or two. I have some 8/4 by 6 inch wide mahogany cuttoffs and some maple of the same dimmension. I know the maple will make a nice cutting board, as Mike Minto has shown, neat stuff Mike.

2007年12月17日 · Hi everyone. I know the topic of wood selection for cutting boards has been discussed before, but I was hoping to get some input about Santos Mahogany. I have a nice wide board left over from an earlier project, and I'd like to make a cutting board out of it. Others have cautioned against using mahogany because it is on the soft side and open ...

2022年11月25日 · Love mahogany but some of it has some white chalky stuff in it that can actually roll around ,and to me using mahogany for a cutting board would be like using a leather jacket for a WELCOME mat. Friends are sometimes suspicious of non-white cutting boards, and they are always sure that your cutting board is not as clean as their cutting board.

2003年7月14日 · I made a wooden cutting board 3/4" thick from maple and mahogany. Has held up pretty well over the past 3 years. When the board started to look too well "used", I just ran it thru the planer, recoated it with some salad bowl oil and it looked brand new. Sure it is slightly thinner but you can't tell.

2006年9月10日 · I think using Padauk for a cutting board isn't a good choice. You site one reason--the bleed. When damp like a cutting board is subject to, it will continue. Another reason is some people are allergic to the dust. Yet another is the wood is a bit splintery, so edges may begin to chip out prematurely over other woods. Take care, Mike

2008年8月18日 · I have searched and read a lot of threads here on cutting boards, but haven't been able to come up with an answer to the following question: What sanding schedule should I use for a cutting board (long grain, not end grain style), and I intend to finish with mineral oil with bees wax as I've seen recommended here.

2018年1月3日 · 2) Avoid any finishes labeled as "cutting board" or "salad bowl" finish. All finishes and stains, including the heavy duty polyurethane you would use to seal a floor are food safe once they cure. The last time I checked nobody ever …

2021年11月29日 · This would not be a good response from using a cutting board. The general recommendations for cutting boards are to avoid open pored woods as much as possible. Cherry and maple are great, as they are closed pored. Walnut is marginal, as its pores are pretty small, tho visible. I also use walnut oil to finish my cutting boards. Seems like it ...

2018年11月29日 · 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
