Is there any would you can't make a cutting board out of?
Umh! Some woods are better because they don't give a taste to the food. One of the best is sycamore. What are butcher blocks made of? Maple?Anything porous would not work. Such as oak. Did you ever taste catalpa? It smells and tastes like licorice sort of.
(I prefer olive)
Hi Frank...I have read a couple of your posts in which you mention Olive Oil as a treatment to your cutting board.
I am not questioning your method as it has worked for you for a long while, but Olive Oil goes rancid. IMHO, this would not be a good choice of "finish" or treatment of the wood. You are still walking and talking, so it clearly hasn't hurt you, but I am curious about this method as I read to the contrary.
Any other's successfully use Olive Oil?
Thanks.
Matt
