Cutting Boards

[MadJohnShaft]

That's the one we use daily and it's no use for wear - from one of those street fairs. The guy gave us a jar of mineral oil so that's why I have some.

I don't like the bamboo one, it smells unpleasant.

I'm curious how buying one the factory clearance guitar bodies they sell at guitar fetish would work out. They have no cutouts or neck pockets. In the description they even call them "cutting boards"

what are they? ash? i'd do a maple one...

[VOLVO)))]

Heh, that end grain board won't fall apart. Ever. It has the most glue surface of any of them. Long as it's oiled and not abused, it'll last forever.

I think you want maple for cutting boards because it has some germ fighting properties.



Yeah, it's solid like steel, cleans up easily and does not smell.  I use it first before all the other ones.


I think keeping cutting boards oiled up keeps the grain of the wood and any knife marks swelled up to keep food from penetrating.

Once in a while I scrub with salt, lemon, vinegar, baking soda and that seems to help too.
