Any Hardwood will work for a cutting board. BRBR

Not true, don't use an open pored wood, oak is a terrible choice. A previous
poster mentioned walnut, which is not only worse, but stupid. Walnut can cause
toxic reactions.

his gives
you the reccommmended sanitizing solution of between 50 and 200 parts
per million of chlorine BRBR

A good freind who is a food health service expert recommends keeping a spray
bottle, with one tbs of clorox of one gallon of water., wipe, spray, let dry.
Much easier.

The best cutting board is probably osage orange, but it's really expensive, and
tghe dust gets everywhere. I would think apple and pear work well. I actually
ahd a birch one for years, and constant washing didn't even disintegrate it. i
made it before I "knew" that birch and water don't mix. It probably started
warping when I knew it was the wrong thing to use.

Avoid padauk too; p;us any exotic where an allergiuc reaction is possible.

I wonder how ipe would be? Any ideas?
