trunk, maybe 18" in dia. and 8" high. It did not seem to have been
glued up from individual parts and there was no metal band to keep it
from splitting. I am wondering what wood or woods would be best for
making one for myself or for

It does split a little eventually. You might want to just go to a
local chinese supermarket if you're close to a big city. Stuff
there is way cheap.

I prefer Boos cutting boards myself. The chinese chopping stumps
seem to get kinda slimy eventually (no clue why) and don't clean
up as easily. You don't have to oil them like you do the standard
maple cutting boards though...
