Default Choice of wood for cutting board

Any thoughts on the use of more exotic woods specifically cocobolo, osage
orange and yellowheart?


I have seen cutting boards with cocobolo and purpleheart accents that
look nice. I would think Osage Orange would be dense enough to resist
bacteria because it is very heavy.

BTW down here we don't consider Osage Orange to be exotic. We burn it
and call it fence posts :^}
